New Zealand – What Next?CLC New Zealand closed down, or handed over, its wholesale and retail operations in 2012. However the team did not feel that this necessarily meant the end of the CLC ministry in the country. Praise the Lord for the opportunity earlier this year to send some remaining stock (mainly educational material) to a school in Zambia. At the time of writing it is not known what future plans, if any, were proposed by the CLC Board when they met in April. Pray for a peace, and a clear sense of God’s guidance, whatever the outcome..
