Barnabas Aid is an international aid agency that aims to support Christian communities, churches and individuals around the world who face persecution and discrimination because of their faith.

In this way we witness to the love of Christ and build His Kingdom.

We send financial support to projects which help Christians where they suffer discrimination, oppression and persecution as a consequence of their faith. The projects aim to strengthen Christian individuals, churches and their communities by providing material and spiritual support in response to needs identified by local Christian leaders.

"As we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." Galatians 6:10

Barnabas Aid Welcomes 2 Christian refugee families to NZ!   3 July 2024

https://www.barnabasaid.org/nz/latest-needs/help-us-support-two-christian-refugee-families-arriving-in-nz/

Barnabas Aid New Zealand (BANZ) is delighted to welcome two Christian refugee families to New Zealand under the government’s new Community Organisation Refugee Sponsorship (CORS) programme.

Barnabas, along with two partnering churches, will provide comprehensive settlement support over the next two years. This includes helping the families secure housing, enrol in education and health services, find employment, and form meaningful connections within their new community and church whānau

Every day, thousands of people are forced to flee their homes due to conflict and religious persecution, with more than 101.1 million people currently displaced globally. Despite this staggering number, less than 1% of refugees find permanent resettlement each year.

BANZ and our church partners are committed to helping these two Christian families rebuild their lives. By God’s grace, we also aim to enrich our own communities by breaking down barriers and building stronger, more inclusive societies.

To make this possible, we are reaching out to our Barnabas family/whānau for support. Your contributions will help us provide essential services and support to these families. Your donation will be tax deductible and your support will make a real difference in their journey as these families make New Zealand their home.
