Fred and Ivy Needham – a members perspective

AMemberSTORY

As members of the metamorphic church planting movement we have also been supporting Metamorphic for about 15 years by way of financial investment. During that time, we have been invited to help teach pastors of existing churches planted by Metamorphic which has been a valuable experience and opportunity. It is not easy for such pastors to get sound teaching or advice when they are located in a small town in a non-Christian nation.

In that role we have visited many countries in SE Asia and Africa and seen the work these churches, planted by Metamorphic, are doing. We have the highest admiration for this remarkable and unique church planting ministry. The churches are from many different denominations and a feature of Metamorphic is that they work with any church or denomination that has a passion for evangelism and planting churches in unreached areas. This is something that attracted us to Metamorphic right from the beginning.

Metamorphic are meticulous in their record keeping and governance and that is why we continue to partner with them now and well into the future. It continues to be our privilege to be a part of this vital community and not only sow resources but get involved on a practical level also.

As a pastor of a local church it is refreshing to be a part of something bigger than ourselves and to receive the reciprocal benefit of having Lindsay and the team regularly visit us here in Auckland and minister in power to our people here.

I would highly recommend to anyone reading this to get engaged and become a apart of the church planting movement – metamorphic. It really is transformation in action
