Vision:
Every traveler visiting Kaikoura receives the gospel of Jesus, the Messiah.
Hospitality & Evangelism are the foundations of our ministry. In our first season we hosted over 150+ backpackers in our home. We share meals with these travelers, house them short-term and share the Gospel of Jesus with them. The programs HIT (http://hitinternational.net/en/who-we-are/) and Chiburim (http://www.chiburim.com/english/who-we-are/) bring many travelling Israelis into our home as well. We share Shabbat dinners with Israelis and have open conversations about Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit.
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19
Get the WORD out there: At the Kaikoura craft market, we set up a table and give away free Bibles, testimonials and other Christian books & pray for people. Our purpose is to get the Bible into backpacker's hands and to challenge them to be on a spiritual journey toward God while they are on a physical journey around the world.
"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:12-13
"I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me." Proverbs 8:17
Our HEART is to connect with the town of Kaikoura and to be a LIGHT to international backpackers. As a full-time ministry we aim to be strategic and Spirit-led. We support the local church in their community outreaches. We host and connect YWAM teams to serve the church, evangelize with backpackers and volunteer in the community.
