This Pentecost 2015 issue of Taonga magazine shares stories from some of today's champions of ministry in these islands.

Lloyd Ashton searches out two humble Manawa o Te Wheke churches and finds them alight with aroha and promise.

We look on as three Taizé brothers leave behind their monastic beat for down under – and draw crowds into stillness with God.

We meet our new Mission Educator for St John's College – Rosemary Dewerse – and learn how she joins the dots through her passion for mission.

We ask how to deal with migrant worker abuse and hear what causes Kiwis to end up homeless.

And we take a fleeting glimpse into artist Beverley Shore Bennett's luminous world of stained glass.

Then there’s the regular round-up on care for creation, a touch of theology, spirituality, young adult ministry, books and film.
