Auckland New Zealand: Shore Community Church • Massey University • Refugees and Refuge House • Discipleship • Chaplaincy • Inter-Cultural Communications • Mentoring missionaries and leaders
Change is inevitable and is often good. After 16 years of affiliation with South Pacific Christian Fellowship, Jill is making some organizational changes. She has affiliated with The Ark Christian Ministries, an established credible ministry, a board of directors, stringent accounting procedures and a long history of working with churches to get ministry done in the US and overseas.

These changes affect banking and accountability but not the ministry in NZ. It continues, to God's glory, as before.
Jill is staying in NZ, doing many of the same things she has been doing, but rather than have her $$ support and communications go through SPCF in Colorado, Jill will continue to work through her forwarding agent, Cheryl Belding in Louisville and The Ark in Indiana.
We'll soon make changes to the account names. The checks will eventually need to be made out differently, but we'll let you know all about that when the legal stuff is done.
SPCF's focus is specifically on church planting while Jill's ministry includes more than church planting. i.e. university chaplaincy, continued ministry with Shore Community Church, refugee support, community engagement, hospitality, discipling, etc...
Jill leaves SPCF with relationships in tact and with all involved focussed on God's glory and building the Kingdom.
So what changes: how the checks are made out, the name of the organization.
What doesn't change: Jesus, the nature of the ministry, and the Louisville P.O. Box to which donations can be sent.
What is money needed for:
US$500 in monthly support for ongoing expenses & outreach.
US$4500 for really cool gospel diaries for new student orientation in January 2016
US$12,000 for a van to provide soup for cold surfers, kinda like the woman at the well, but soup instead of water, with conversations to follow.
US$250,000 for a house with a bigger table and more bedrooms so I don't have to turn people away. Women at risk and people in the margins need hospitality and to see Jesus lived. Help me buy a house in which to create that home.
