Happy almost New Year's Eve and New Years Day. We pray you have a great start to this new year, and we want you to know we are so grateful to each one of you who is involved in Elevate; be it a CFFD group, Joy Ministries, staff, a Trustee, or through the Drop-in centre or Camps.

If you are someone who loves to pray, do join us in praying for the following as we enter into the new year:

❤️‍🩹Pray for healing, hope and community for those who may be feeling unseen or isolated at this time of the year.

🫂Pray for the leaders, volunteers and community who are connected to Elevate, that God would bless them as they enter into a new year, that they would be refreshed.

🌍Pray for the right resources and new partnerships to help equip Elevate's vision of seeing people with disabilities leading, contributing, growing and belonging in Christian communities and wider society across New Zealand.

Thanks to Kathie Pace, Elevate Christian Disability Trust staff, who helped to put some of these prayer points together. Blessings and Happy New Year!

It is with grateful hearts that we announce the stepping down of Nigel and Penny Shivas from leading Emmanuel Support, a ministry supporting parents of families with disabilities after a number of years.

We are incredibly grateful to Nigel and Penny, who have continuously opened their home and hearts, sharing wisdom, love and understanding with other parents of young people with disabilities.

Read what our Chairperson, Vanessa Creamer, shares about Nigel and Penny's service in her Annual Chairperson's Letter:

"We would like to extend a special thank you to Nigel and Penny Shivas, who are stepping down from Emmanuel Support."

Thank you, Nigel and Penny. We wish you all the best for the next chapter ♥️

Emmanuel Support's Parents' Retreats are on hold for the foreseeable future and we will share Emmanuel Support updates with you all as they arise.

A special note to also recognise the three couples who led prior to Nigel and Penny, The Leppers, and Peter and Sandra Druskovich, and Ross and Dianne Sullivan, whom Nigel and Penny took over from.
