Minister walks 5 km to raise funds for vandalised church: South Auckland
A minister is walking 5 km on Saturday to pay for repairs to his church after it was desecrated and set on fire by vandals.
At 8am, Reverend Vaituulala Ngahe will lead a team of staff and volunteers on the fundraising trek around Bruce Pullman Park in a bid to reopen Manurewa Methodist Parish.
The church, also known as Manurewa's Corner of Hope, has been closed for more than 8 months after arsonists wreaked damage not covered by insurance.
Funds raised through the walk will support unexpected council consenting and compliance costs from the repairs to the church and its community outreach facilities.
For the past 7 years, Reverend Vaituulala with local government agencies has been running a community meal drop-in on Tuesdays.
Since the church closure, the community meal has been run at Manurewa Anglican hall where all services and community groups are meeting.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
