Migrant Workers, Awatere
The Awatere Valley is a large and beautiful area just south of Blenheim. As it runs back into tall mountains it is home to traditional hill country farms and stations and huge newer areas of grapes. Seasonal workers from Vanuatu, Kiribati, and other Pacific Islands spend months of the year working in the vineyards.
An intern could gain significant cross-cultural and ministry experience. Vineyard workers receive pastoral care, advocacy with employers to protect their rights and assistance with all sorts of issues, as well as participating and leading in Sunday worship.
