We are a nonprofit organization and have no central funds. Staff members, including the director of Celebrate Messiah New Zeland, raise support to cover salaries, benefits, and expenses. Staff members seek ministry partners who will invest in their ministries through prayer, financial giving, and volunteer support. We believe this is God’s model.  God’s plan to care for the priests and Levites of Israel who ministered to Him and to the nation was for the people who were blessed by their service to support them.  Jesus, God in the flesh, chose to live and minister from the ongoing gifts of individuals who believed in who he is and what he was doing.  He also taught his disciples that the ‘labourer is worthy of his wages’ (Luke 10:7).  And the Apostle Paul passed this teaching to the New Testament church, ‘Now let the one who is taught the word share all good things with his teacher’ (Galatians 6:6).

It would be most helpful if you could start right away. Some staff members work part-time or full-time while raising support. Once they are fully supported, they can focus full-time on the ministry to which God has called them.

That is a decision between you and the Lord. Our desire is that you would support your staff member for as long as the Lord enables you to do so.  We want to build relationships with our partners.  We’re in this together!

Yes! God delights to take our gifts offered in faith and multiply them. Every gift, no matter how small, is also a great encouragement to us. Our ministry partners are made up of those who give small single gifts and those who give larger regular gifts. What you decide to give is between you and the Lord.

All contributions designated for the ministry of a staff member go into that staff member’s account, which is managed and dispensed by CMNZ. Then 6% is used for two major categories:

• Administrative expenses, such as processing payroll, benefits and other services.
• Helping to fund CMNZ ministries that are not yet fully supported.

We will send you by email or post, based on your preference, a receipt every gift.  If you would prefer to receive just an annual statement each April for gifts given during the previous year, just let us know.
