PASSING ON THE GIFT OF CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY
With a Gift in your Will
For those who come after…
Spiritual Growth Ministries (SGM) is an ecumenical community nurturing Christian contemplative spirituality in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
For over 40 years we have invited people to drink from the contemplative stream that nourishes deepening life in the Spirit of God. At the heart of who we are is formation - in the ministry of spiritual direction and in Christian contemplative spirituality - gifts we steward on behalf of the wider Body of Christ.
From our beginnings, SGM has been carried by God’s grace and the generosity of our community. Every gift - large or small - is received as a precious taonga that reflects the values and legacy of the giver.
By remembering SGM in your Will, you help keep this living stream flowing - ensuring contemplative wisdom is passed on to future generations.
“I have a deep sense that we have been entrusted with a taonga (treasure) to be held in trust for those who come after - those who, like me, are searching for deep wells in a dry land.”
