James Beck

Nō ngā hau e whā ōku tūpuna, engari I tūpu ake au i raro o te korowai o Kā Kōhatu Whakarekareka o Tamatea Pōkai Whenua kei Waitaha. My ancestors arrived in Aotearoa from the four winds, but I was raised under the protection of the Port Hills in Canterbury. I deeply love the land and the people of Aotearoa, and I am passionate about the good news of Jesus changing people’s hearts and restoring their relationship with God, themselves, others and the whenua. When I am not pursuing God’s dream for the restoration of all things, I love running in the hills, reading books, making music and hanging out with my little whānau.
