By Bruce White, NZCMS Personnel Manager
Kia ora Whānau. I am blessed to have commenced with NZCMS as a Personnel Manager in early May. I have a varied Christian background, growing up in the Salvation Army, then the Pentecostal stream, followed by a Union Church and then 32 years ago moving into the Baptist group of churches. I am happily married to Karen with three adult children and three grandchildren, all who live in New Zealand.
I have a varied work background, which includes Banking, Commercial Property Management, selling Newspaper advertising and 17 years pastoring two Baptist Churches in New Zealand. While pastoring our first church, I had the opportunity to be involved in short-term trips to Hong Kong, Macau, China, India and Bangladesh. After ten years of pastoring, God called Karen and me to serve overseas with the New Zealand Baptist Missionary Society in South Asia.
On our return to New Zealand seven years later, God called us to pastor a church in Christchurch for seven years before opening the door to work with NZCMS.
When not at work, I enjoy watching sports, and am a tragic Warriors supporter, together with most New Zealand teams playing in Australian competitions. If time allows, we enjoy time away in our two-berth caravan.
The first week has reinforced how much I have to learn, and I am grateful to my colleagues for their patience in this regard. However, I am excited by what I am learning and am looking forward to what God has in store.
Shalom,
Bruce White
