Given by 31 generous donors in 7 weeks

Help fund Tim's study at Venn as he discerns what a life in ministry might look like.

Wellington

In the middle of November, I will be moving to Auckland to join the Venn Residential Fellowship 2021-2022! The Venn Residential Fellowship is a 7 month program that I will be undertaking with a cohort of other young adults. Led by a group of excellent teachers, we will be learning about God, the world, and ourselves as we consider the question: “How do I live wisely in twenty-first century Aotearoa, New Zealand?”

The course will involve discussion of theology, history,politics, and the Arts (among other things). I’m really looking forward to tackling big topics with new people (and some good friends).

I think that the Venn Fellowship will be a great opportunity to grow in faith as I consider what a ‘career’ in ministry could look like. I have been in the Venn orbit for a few years now and strongly believe in their mission.

An Almost-Too-Late Newsletter (Part 1)  11 June 2022

Dearest Donors,

It's hard to believe, but my time in Auckland is drawing to a close.

My tenure with the Fellowship has been so enriching and challenging!

With that in mind, I've finally collected (some of) my thoughts about my time here: https://birdonfire.substack.com/p/an-almost-too-late-newsletter?s=w

Part 2 isn't far away :)

Thank you very much for your support!

Pax

Tim

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
