Christian World Service is delighted to welcome Rev Dr Tim Pratt as the new National Director.

Tim is an accredited Baptist minister who most recently served as the Maclaurin Lead Chaplain within the University of Auckland. Prior to that he researched and lectured at AUT University where he holds a PhD in Management, and a MBA. In tandem with his pastoral and academic pursuits, Tim has many years’ experience serving at either a governance or management level within faith based organisations, locally, nationally and internationally. This includes ministries such as the Boys’ Brigade New Zealand (Iconz/BBNZ), The Global Fellowship of Christian Youth, and The Interchurch Council of Hospital Chaplaincy.

He has specialised in leading a refresh of these mature service-oriented organisations that focused on developing their strategies, structures, and finances so they continue to respond effectively and efficiently amid an everchanging world.
