our story
Kia Ora! The Good Soil Collective / Te Waka One Pai is a whanau of diverse Christian leaders who share a passion for mission and discipleship in the land of the long white cloud. We’re a mix of church pastors, pioneering leaders and everyday followers of Jesus, from different denominations and organisations.
We're passionate about seeing a far reaching discipleship movement birthed in Aotearoa, with deep indigenous and home-grown roots. if you share this dream, we'd love you to journey with us as we discover what god is up to on this far flung islands at the bottom of the world.
What we do
WE BELIEVE THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS SEEING A DISCIPLE MAKING MOVEMENT TAKE HOLD IN AOTEAROA IS FOR US TO TEND TO THE “SOIL” OR CULTURE IN OUR personal lives, households, COMMUNITIES, CHURCHES, CITIES, AND Nation.
Soil Conditioner Workshops
These are a great way to “prepare the soil” or “add compost” if you want to start an energising conversation around mission and discipleship in your area, and begin to gather people around a shared vision for your neck of the woods.
learning communities
The purpose of a Learning Community (LC) is to support and resource you as leaders and your church or organisation on the journey of discipleship and mission.
leadership coaching
It’s our belief that you can’t lead anyone somewhere you’re not willing to go yourself. “Huddles” are the way that we offer leadership coaching and formation to those wishing to engage in our discipleship process and to put the tools into practice.
Communities of Practice
A Community of Practice (CoP) is the sequel for leaders and teams who have come through our Learning Community process. The CoP helps each team to stay accountable and open to God’s voice as they continue on the discipleship and mission journey.
