Larissa is SUNZ’s Dunedin-based Youth Consultant for Otago and Southland. She partners with local churches and youth leaders, helping young people explore and grow in faith. Larissa is involved with Fuel Breakfast Church in East Taieri. From mentoring youth pastors to leading Bible engagement programmes like Exodus Prime, Larissa plays a vital role in strengthening youth ministry across the region.

In 2025, she will lead mental health training events, run Āpōpō workshops, and help train over 100 youth leaders through Anamata. Her passion is evident: “I love seeing God at work in different spaces.” To continue this life-changing ministry, we need your support. At current levels we anticipate being $10,000 short of the funding Larissa’s role this year. Your prayers and financial gifts will help ensure young people continue to encounter Jesus through supported leaders and churches.

Thank you for partnering with us in raising up the next generation of faith-filled young people. Can you support Larissa in her ministry this year? Donate now
