Everything God raises up begins with a person filled with a vision from God. Our College began with a missionary evangelist, Graham A. Cruickshank, who was raised in a pioneer Pentecostal home. As a young man, Graham went out to the South Pacific Islands and served there for a period of eight years. As an evangelist-teacher he preached in cities, rural towns, villages, country areas and through the road-less interior. He pastored churches, planted churches and built a revival centre. A passion on his heart was the raising up and training of local leaders. He also served in executive roles regionally and nationally. Returning to New Zealand with his wife Tui and their four children, Graham and Tui pioneered a Bible College ministry and a thriving City church that also has a Christian school.

The scope of Graham’s ministry has grown. Now in his fourth decade of full time service, Graham serves in an apostolic role to churches and their networks of churches in several nations. Evangelism and church planting remains his passion.

Through these courses, students will be able to tap into the apostolic call and lengthy experience of our College Principal’s ministry.

Other tutors also contribute to the courses. These are all Ephesians 4:11 ministries and all operate out of Christian Renewal Fellowship.

As modern technology has advanced, so has the opportunity to train many thousands of Christian leaders and workers. This is the vision that our College fulfils. We also help set up Bible Schools and Training Centre’s in other nations as local churches link up with Christian Renewal International. You can see this website at www.renewalinternational.org
