In New Zealand, faced by those living in poverty are issues of homelessness,
living wage, child hunger/lack of access to healthy foods, child welfare issues, foster care crisis,
mental health concerns, and more. In Cambodia, there are issues of hunger, malnourishment,

Vision

At NZCMS we know that young people are deeply passionate about issues of social justice in our world and we believe that issues of social justice are central to the gospel. One of the biggest obstacles to the people of the world believing that God exists and that he loves them is the pain and suffering that we see all around us.

We also know that it’s sometimes hard to find ways to bring about real change in a way that is effective, ethical, and practical. Better World is designed to take young people on a journey to explore things they are passionate about in the world and then learn together how we can bring about lasting change.
​
Better World has the vision of equipping a whole generation of young people to reach into the suffering in the world around us and bring the light of the gospel of Christ.
When we look at how and what God has revealed of himself to us, the only fitting response is to overflow with love for what He loves, and to let that be an active love. In other words, because of who God is and because of who we are, we must care about social justice”
