Something to Contemplate
More than 70% of readers tell us they value receiving Refresh in print. Yet fewer than 15% make a donation.
It costs SGM around $20,000 each year to publish and distribute Refresh.
Your koha helps ensure that Refresh remains in print to bless the community of readers it serves.
Thank you for partnering with us to support and strengthen the contemplative stream in Aotearoa New Zealand.
“Refresh is where people can read what God is doing in the hearts and lives of other contemplative Christians; how they are responding to the issues of the day. The articles, pictures, poems, and photos connect me to our growing contemplative community in Aotearoa. They often rekindle my love for this whenua and its unique spirituality.
