New Zealand, Rain and a Special Announcement

We know it has been a while and we usually send out these updates a little more regularly… but we have specifically been waiting until today to share some exciting news! A special announcement… MMM NZ and NZCMS (New Zealand Church Missionary Society) are pleased to announce a new partnership to support Roy and Rachael Hogan’s ongoing call to live and minister in Fiji. Roy and Rachael, with their three children, Joshua, Gabrielle, and Caleb Hogan have lived in Nadi, Fiji, since May 2022. They have been serving as Project Coordinators for MMM in Fiji. Roy and Rachael have now discerned a longer-term calling. In order to support this call, NZCMS have come alongside the Hogan family to become their “sending agency.” This means that NZCMS will take responsibility for their ongoing well-being, financial and prayer support. Roy and Rachael’s work with MMM will be unchanged, and they will continue the strategic work of building and maintenance projects supporting Christian Ministries in Fiji...

Wrapping up a great year

As I sit snuggled in a big duvet and sipping a hot lemon and honey drink, it reminds me that we are back in a very different world to the one we have been living in this year. This week we have been tackling a bit of reverse culture shock as we reintegrate back into New Zealand life while also fighting a bout of COVID, forever disrupting our plans. It is super frustrating to have had plans ruined yet again from COVID when we have been looking forward to this week for so long. We have missed Roy’s family Christmas and a visit to Tauranga to see good friends; we are not sure if we will be able to reschedule these plans as we head down to Kāpiti and have commitments down there. We are praying that a bit of enforced rest now after a busy year will mean we are healthy and able to do everything else we want to do during our time in New Zealand. Dinner out with our last team for the year at the Boatshed in Vuda. Seeing New Zealand through the eyes of a Fijian! It is funny the way you ju...

A Busy Season

As the dry season draws near to an end our lives are slowly starting to have some space in them again. We have had a super busy season, achieving heaps, hosting many teams and seeing many projects completed, with both ministries and people having their buildings improved. Plantation Island Resort In July we were lucky enough to have a week's holiday at Plantation Island. It was so nice to be able to take a break away from our normal lives here and have lots of familiar food from home. The sleep-ins, water park, stand up paddle boards and bikes were all highlights. Gabby did ask if we can go back in summer as it was too cold at the time 😆. The days of the everyone posing nicely for the camera at the same time are gone. Seehusen In August we had a great team come together from Matamata and Christchurch. This team included two people who had already volunteered in Fiji in the previous year. It’s exciting to have repeat volunteers and we are grateful for the many people that are pass...
