Dear Sisters and Esteemed Delegates,
Greetings to you all in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As we rapidly approach the opening of our 15th World Assembly on 25 August 2025 and your arrival in Auckland on 34 August 2026, I extend my heartfelt prayers for your safe travels and wish you the fullness of God’s grace as you journey to New Zealand from every corner of the globe.
We pray for God’s hand to guide your transit across international borders, ensuring smooth paths and peaceful minds. May the Holy Spirit sustain your energy and comfort you during long hours of travel. We eagerly await your arrival, ready to receive you all.
It is with heavy heart that we acknowledge our sisters whose visa applications were unhappily declined. Though physically absent, they remain fully integrated into our global sisterhood in prayer and purpose.
May God’s grace accompany you until we meet face to face.
In Chrit’s Service
Sipiwe Chisvo
