CSN-RWC co-ordinator Ross Georgiou reports that the 2011 ministry is gathering momentum.

"Two meetings were had over the last four weeks with specific regards to a unified and co-ordinated ministry approach to the RWC 2011 and through the RWC 2011 to New Zealand community and beyond.

"The RWC 2011 meeting with the National Church Leaders in Wellington was successful for the following reasons:

1. ‘Endorsement' from the Church denominations of the ‘umbrella' that will combine church/Mission/Sports Mission/Christian Networks in a RWC 2011 ministry of ‘Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage'.
2. ‘Liaison' with the church denominations by each appointing and informing us of a liaison person (or conduit) for the ‘Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage' initiatives and their individual denomination.
3. The various churches give ‘one unified voice' on this initiative to the NZ community and to RWC 2011.
4. ‘Consideration' as the various denominations and local churches enter into a process (through prayer, consideration, processing, discussions) as to what role they would like to take on in regards to the RWC 2011 ministry.

"Further meetings were held in Auckland with representatives from the following seven categories: Church, Sports Ministry, Sport, Business, Media, Key Ministries and Networks. This meeting achieved:
1. A collective and individual interest in ministry around the RWC 2011.
2. The importance of a unified approach/unified voice yet decentralized local approach.
3. An understanding of ministry to NZ as a whole (based on a brief Spiritual Situational Analysis) and ministry to the RWC 2011 (value added/relevant, holistic good news, serving ministry). The importance of relevant ministry was underscored."
