Today voting ballots for the local elections and Māori ward referendums around the country will begin to arrive in mailboxes. Over this next month of voting, we encourage you and your church to join us in prayer for God’s Spirit to be guiding us and our communities in this process.

The prayer linked below has been written for our movement as an offering to churches by Archbishop Sir David Moxon, and the Te Reo Māori translation by Rev Hamish Dobbie. You may like to read out this prayer during a Sunday service, or put it in your church bulletin between now and the end of voting on October 11th.
