TE HAERENGA What is “Te Haerenga” – Beyond the Shores of Aotearoa? Te Haerenga (the journey) is an innovative new venture that incorporates basic discipleship and tikanga (customs) Maori with an overseas cross-cultural mission opportunity. Designed with Maori in mind, Te Haerenga uses the concept of noho marae (marae stays) to facilitate weekend gatherings, every third weekend over a 4 month period, ending with a 2 week trip overseas. Te Haerenga has been developed in response to the need Island Breeze has seen for culturally relevant discipleship specific to Maori. The aim of these gatherings is to provide teaching and understanding geared towards discovering the fullness of who God has called us to be as Maori and implementing that into everyday life. It is our desire that, together with this fresh understanding and the overseas trip, participants would: (a) Be inspired to continue their journey in discovering a relationship with Jesus (b) Recognise the contribution they have as Maori, within the nations (c) Embrace God’s heart for missions (d) Develop strong relationships that can support them in their journey Our intention is to also provide a bridge for participants that creates pathways to church involvement, further discipleship and training as well as continued mission opportunities. Who can join? Te Haerenga has been designed to enable a wide variety of people to participate. The format of weekend Marae stays allow for families, those in full time employment etc to be involved. Where & when is the next Te haerenga? The next te Haerenga is in Feb 2009. Locations of noho marae are yet to be confirmed. The overseas location is also to be confirmed but would most likely be Hawaii. What are the dates for 2009? The noho marae run from Friday 6.00pm through to Sunday after lunch and are held every three weeks. The overseas component will commence after the 5th noho and Te Haerenga will conclude a couple of weeks after our return with a whanau hakari, evaluations, report back etc Noho Marae Kawhia/Waiuku
Overseas Portion The overseas portion (part two of Te Haerenga) Is Hawaii Approx 29 May - 13 June 2009 (this is combined with Tauranga) Final gathering June/July 2009 TBC
