MAF NZ’s NEW MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

In April, we welcomed Zoë Davies to the MAF NZ team as our new Marketing & Communications Manager. Zoë’s parents were both missionaries with Operation Mobilisation and WEC NZ. She grew up on campus at EastWest College and WEC NZ and from an early age felt God call her to ministry. Before moving back to NZ in December 2022, Zoë was living in Sydney working as the Assisstant Brand Manager for Hillsong College at Hillsong Church. She has also previously worked for Curate Church and GoGenerosity in Communications and Marketing. While working for MAF, she will be continuing to study towards her Bachelor of Theology. Zoë is excited to be a part of seeing MAF step into the future God has ahead; a future built on the faithfulness of many people and carried by a lifeworthy vision and mission.
