Churches

This is what loving your neighbours looks like.

Register your church for the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge now!

This is a fun and powerful way for your young people to love their neighbours by raising funds that will give kids like Polyne in Solomon Islands food for today, and a future for tomorrow. Challenge your youth group to go 40 Hours Offline and get sponsored by their community!

Join a Conservation Event in Christchurch & Auckland

Be part of something bigger during the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge weekend!

We’re inviting your church or youth group to join the A Rocha x World Vision conservation event on Saturday 14th June in Auckland and Christchurch. This is a powerful way for young people to take local climate action by planting trees, all while raising funds to give Pacific communities enough food to grow up healthy and strong.

Based in Auckland or Christchurch? Rally your youth group and register below!

How to boost your church's fundraising:

Rally 4-8 passionate youth

Get a group together and let them set the vision for the challenge! Once you’ve got your team, book their WV40HC Planning Workshop by emailing schools@worldvision.org.nz. We’ll provide all the training they need to take charge with confidence. 

Get the word out!

Spread the word far and wide through posters, newsletters, social media, and WV40HC videos. Your leaders can share their personal challenge and sponsor stories to inspire others. When they lead by example, everyone will want to follow! 

Invite a Youth Ambassador to korero

Bring in a school leaver who’s been to Solomon Islands and met Polyne to share their experience and get your crew excited about signing up. Contact your World Vision Rep at schools@worldvision.org.nz to arrange it today. 

Host a fun pre-challenge event

Boost excitement and rally support by hosting a fun event like a competition or bake sale. It’s a great way to get everyone involved and raise funds before the challenge. 

Complete your challenge!

Mark your calendar for June 13th-15th and dive into the challenge with your group. Together, you’ll make an impact while having fun and pushing yourselves to new limits! 

Bank your cash by June 27th

Remember to collect and bank all donations by June 27th. Every dollar counts, and together we can make a big difference in the lives of children and families in the Pacific. 

Book a Thank You talk for after your Challenge

Celebrate your church’s amazing impact with a special Thank You Talk. Our youth ambassadors present awards and recognize the efforts of your leaders, staff, and community. You made this happen, and we’re here to honor you! 

Reach out to our friendly team at schools@worldvision.org.nz to book it in.
