Whitiora Bible Church is located in the middle of 18 motels currently being used for emergency housing, which impacts massively on the needs of their community and the local school.
This is the second year in which they go into the local school and provide breakfast for any child who wishes to attend. Around 30-40 children attend each morning and many are regulars.
Pauline Diffey writes: "It is a privilege to show God’s love to these children through providing them breakfast and being able to interact with them before they head to classes".
Roanne McEwan shared with us that the connections built through the breakfast club have flowed onto Whitiora Bible Church being able to sponsor some of the school children to attend the school holiday camp at Karakariki Christian Camp in the second week of the last winter holidays.
We love to see churches engaging with their communities and working together with camps to share the gospel.
