 Interim Found for New Zealand Church
By Dr. Doug Talley A couple of months ago Indiana Ministries adopted the only Church of God congregation in New Zealand. To my knowledge this is a first of its kind partnership between a church outside the United States, Global Missions, and a state ministry. The first step in this partnership has been to recruit an interim pastor to lead the church through a transition period and prepare the congregation for a new lead pastor. God has quickly answered our prayers with the selection of David and Greta Reames as the new interims! (Click here for more information about them.)
