If you're planning to arrive in New Zealand after our final intake date for 2026 (31 August), don’t worry - there are still great ways to get involved! You might want to consider one of our alternative options: serve on mission at Lake Coleridge Lodge, or join the Soul Edge discipleship and adventure experience. Both offer powerful opportunities to grow in faith, community, and purpose while exploring the beauty of Aotearoa.

If you're arriving in New Zealand between October and February, you can take part in a unique mission outreach at Lake Coleridge. The Powerhouse Lodge in Lake Coleridge Alpine village is a charitable trust offering hospitality (manaakitanga) and a warm, welcoming place to stay through the summer season for those hiking the Te Araroa Trail. The vision is to bless travellers coming through, and you have an opportunity to join this ministry over the summer break. Come, volunteer and be mentored in using hospitality to show the love of Jesus in a stunning location. Meals and board included, two vacancies per week, November to February.

Soul Edge is a five-week road trip across New Zealand’s South Island that combines wild adventure, solid discipleship, and powerful teaching. You’ll join young adults from around the world as you explore the rugged beauty of Aotearoa and grow deeper in your relationship with God. It’s for those who want to build a strong, authentic faith- and have an unforgettable experience while doing it.
