Praxis:
Equipping Christians for meaningful engagement with society.
Promoting good practice in youthwork, community work and mission.
Our logo suggests new life in two ways, the first is a koru,
the new frond of a fern. To Maori it depicts new life growing
out the old. Praxis is the new generation of mission. The
second meaning speaks of THE new life. It shows the stone
that was rolled away from the grave, to reveal that Jesus
had risen from death. We are anchored in the new life offered
through Jesus Christ. Missionaries launched by Praxis will
engage individuals, families and communities and work to bring
about new life through personal, social and spiritual change.
Based in Wellington, New Zealand.

planning and community building.
