Knox Missionaries
How to Support our Missionaries:
● Please remember to keep our awesome Knox missionaries in your prayers! Use this information and the monthly updates in our Sunday services to help support, encourage and connect with them.
● If you would like to contribute financially to our Knox missionaries, you can ‘tag’ your offering by either writing ‘Missions’ onto the collection envelope, or as the reference in an automatic payment.
● You can also specifically name a missionary if you would like to direct your donation, however, please note that you can’t claim a tax rebate in this instance.
● You can also support the Knox Missionaries directly, by contacting and arranging payments straight to them.
Feel free to contact the Knox Missions Committee if you would like to talk about missions.
We can be contacted at office@knox.org.nz
In May 2024 the Knox congregation wrote a poem of encouragement as a gift of support and blessing in order to nurture connection, uplift and inspire those serving in missions. One of our church members, Viv, collated the encouraging words and bible verses to create the poem which you can read through clicking the button below.
