Vision Impact Giving

Vision Impact Giving (VIG) is our ‘over and above’ regular giving for special projects. Each year we prayerfully select two to three projects that make a difference in people’s lives and contribute to our church vision moving forward.  Over the years many exciting and life changing projects have been supported both in New Zealand and throughout the world. Over the last 18 years more than $1.6 million has been raised through VIG.

How VIG Works

Around late January each year we share the VIG projects we are seeking to support. We encourage people to give what they can, whether it’s $20 or $20,000. Giving closes at the end of the financial year on 31 March.

Payments will be administered by RCC’s Treasurer and can be transferred to:

› RCC Bank Account: 010819–0036589–00 
› Reference: Your Name VIG

If you have any questions please ask Phil Stedman, RCC's Treasurer Mark Styles or any Trustee.

VIG projects for 2026

  • Top Kids Thongsunghong Expansion Project

    Purchasing 2 houses next to Top Kids Thongsunghong will open up space for ministry. Prasert Taskin, our mission partner for many years, directs Hope of Hope and has outgrown the current facilities. She has the opportunity to purchase 2 houses adjacent to Top Kids house, one with main road entry, that will provide much needed extra space to run activities and provide space for people to gather. The House of Hope was one of our original VIG projects 18 years ago and it opened up Prasert’s ministry. The purchase of these properties will continue to open up Prasert’s ministry for the next 20 years.

  • Landscaping at RCC

    To open up the under utilised back lawn of 38 Elizabeth St (Mind Health) to use for RCC purposes, with associated landscaping. This will open up green space for RCC to use and improve accessibility to backyard sleepout and connect these areas to RCC facilities.
