Only God can turn the tide: New Zealand Christian leader calls for revival, not politics

Only a move of God — through love, prayer, and evangelism — can change the steady decline in the number of New Zealanders identifying as Christians.

  • Our global family at play with the beatiful game

    A miracle of global fraternity in our fractured, polarized, warring world has been created by one of humanity’s great shared languages: football.
