navigating to 40 Volunteer Conference
This conference is for YOU
– the wonderful volunteers associated with all of PFNZ’s
various ministries around the country. This year we are 30
years old and wish to celebrate God’s goodness to us over
that time as we have progressed to serving even more
offenders, victims, children and families of prisoners who
are travellers we are assisting on
their journeys of life.
We decided to have the Conference in
Auckland this year as it follows straight on from the Deakin
University Reintegration Puzzle Conference that PFNZ are
co-sponsoring with The Salvation Army and other NGOs.
