The Good News for New Zealand website is a free service to our visitors.
Based on the words of Jesus, "Do you want to be made whole?" our purpose is to apply the Christian message so that it promotes the growth and maturity of the whole person and thereby help people become healthy and whole—not only spiritually—but also emotionally and relationally.
We believe that God is not concerned so much about religion as he is about relationships. That is, he not only wants us to have a right relationship with himself, but also with each other—and ourselves.
Furthermore, we believe that God's goal isn't to make people good simply for goodness sake, but to make people whole for only to the degree that one is made whole will his/her lifestyle, actions, attitudes, behavior, and relationships be wholesome.
We also believe that true Christianity is much more than a creed. While the creed is important, genuine Christianity is more than intellectually believing in a creed or in God. It is experiencing divine love, acceptance and forgiveness—and communicating these to every life we touch.
Good News for New Zealand is sponsored by Across Ministries (NZ) and published by ACTS International. ACTS was founded by Richard (Dick) Innes, originally from Australia, who has been living in California since 1981.
