Connecting Internationally
Missions Interlink (NZ) is affiliated with the World Evangelical Alliance's Missions Commission. This gives connections with mission movements in older sending countries like UK and USA and in newer ones like Nigeria, Korea, Brazil and India. These connections keep us up to date with exciting new models of mission, and the encouraging and authentic stories of God's work in the developing world.
We represent the vibrancy of NZ's own creativity in cross-cultural outreach to the wider missions world.
The WEA Religious Liberty Commission keeps us accurately informed of pressures on Christians around the globe.
To connect with these international organisations go to International Links.
