The Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand has key Global Mission partnerships the Presbyterian Churches of Vanuatu and Myanmar.  Our historic involvement with the Church of North India is now largely focused on St. Tomas School in Jagadhri. We also have important relationships with networks of churches across Asia and the Pacific, and international bodies like the Council for World Mission.

Through these partnerships we respond to the call of Jesus Christ to make disciples of all nations and help to provide much-needed resources for Christian mission overseas. This also enriches the life of our Church through our mutual sharing and growing together in the worldwide body of Christ. The various links on this site will provide you with information about the current status of our Church's Global Mission efforts, and give you an insight into new trends and future possibilities.

Individuals and congregations within the Presbyterian Church are invited to enquire about how to participate in and support our work, by contacting the Global Mission Director, Phil King.

Presbyterian Church of Myanmar Situation Updates

The Presbyterian Church of Myanmar (PCM) has suffered multiple challenges since the military coup in February 2021. These have included an ongoing civil war, internal displacement, cyclones, flooding, and a devastating earthquake. All these have been major disasters. Thank you to everyone who donated to our earthquake appeal for the PCM. The two situation reports below have been compiled by the PCM General Secretary. They give information on the impact of the multiple disasters in Myanmar, their effect on the church and the church’s response to these crises. You will also find information about how global partners including the PCANZ have supported the PCM during this period.  These two reports are detailed but if you can make the time to read them they will give a clear picture of the situation in Myanmar and the ways in which the PCANZ has helped, and can continue to help with our financial and prayerful support.

If you wish to make donations to support the Presbyterian Church of Myanmar, you can do so online to the following account. Please reference your donation with your name and Donation PCM. If you require a receipt, please email Katrina.

Earthquake Appeal for the Presbyterian Church of Vanuatu

On December 17, 2024, a 7.3 magnitude earthquake destroyed multiple buildings in Port Vila, Vanuatu. The earthquake claimed 12 lives, with more than 200 people injured.  In recognition of our partnership with the Presbyterian Church of Vanuatu, Global Mission launched an earthquake appeal to help meet costs associated with supporting individuals and communities affected by the earthquake, and for maintenance and repairs on damaged buildings. As of August 31 2025, this appeal had raised $36,050. These funds are being used to support the PCV’s ongoing response to the needs resulting from the earthquake. Thanks is extended to all the donors who supported this appeal. More information about how the funds are being used can be seen in the August 2025 edition of the Nambawan newsletter.
