A lifetime of serving God as a volunteer

Happy Father’s Day to every dad, stepdad, grandpa, foster dad, and spiritual father shaping hearts with love and faith. Your daily routines—early mornings, prayers whispered at bedsides, patient guidance, and steadfast presence—reflect our Heavenly Father’s perseverance and grace. May you feel celebrated today, and may God strengthen you for the beautiful calling of leading your home with courage, humility, and Christ-centered love. You are seen. You are valued. You are making a kingdom difference.

Today we honor the fathers who model what it looks like to lead like Jesus: with gentleness, wisdom, and unwavering love. Ephesians 6:4 reminds us to bring children up in the training and instruction of the Lord. May every dad be filled with grace for the hard days, courage for the unknowns, and joy as they guide their families closer to God.

Dads: Your courage inspires. Your prayers shape futures. Your quiet faith raises generations. Happy Father’s Day—keep leading with love, keep trusting in the Father above

To all the dads who love, guide, and sacrifice, thank you. Your faithful leadership shines a light that points us to Jesus. Happy Father’s Day!

ELIM N.Z. - OUR DREAM

We carry a bold, God-given dream: to see 20,000+ people gathering in Elim churches every Sunday across Aotearoa, worshipping Jesus, growing in faith, and reaching their communities.

We’re believing for 50 strong, healthy, Spirit-empowered churches across the nation, and we’re not stopping there. We’re committed to planting churches not only within New Zealand, but also into strategic nations around the world.

But here’s a question worth thinking about:

How do we play our part?

What could it look like for us to lean into this vision - locally, regionally, and globally?

One pastor can’t carry it. Everyone is needed.

It reminds me of that moment in Luke 5, when Peter’s net was so full it began to break. He couldn’t bring in the catch alone, so he called out to the other boats to come and help.

That’s the picture of this dream.

It’s going to take all of us. Every church, every leader, every believer, rowing together, responding to the call, and making room for a harvest only God could bring.

So, let’s ask ourselves:

What’s my role?

What’s our church’s role in the big picture?

How can we contribute to the dream - in our city, our region, and beyond?

Because when the Church unites around a shared vision, there’s no limit to what God can do through us.

This isn’t about growing an organisation, it’s about fulfilling the Great Commission. It’s about generations being reached, cities and towns being transformed, and nations turning to God.

Lead, serve, and carry the heart of this movement. It’s not always easy but your faithfulness is building something that will last for generations.

As we journey through this season, let’s stay aligned, expectant, and full of faith.

God is doing something significant, not just in our churches, but across our nation and the nations of the world.

Let’s keep leading with vision.

Let’s keep loving people well.

Let’s keep making room for God to move.
