Ko Puhunga tohoroa toku maunga
Ko Hokianga toku moana
Ko Ngatokimatawharua toku waka
Ko Nga puhi toku iwi
Ko Ngati pakau toku hapu
Ko Taheke toku marae
Ko Ben toku ingoa

Ben’s passion is to see young people transformed by Jesus. This passion has led to him journeying with young people from many backgrounds, all with the hope that they know and love Jesus. Ben’s experience has been within church settings and has opened doors for Ben to support people in the justice system, work with community organisations, and journey with young people in a local high school – Ben has served in the role of Youth Pastor at Westgate Baptist Church for some time, and has recently moved on from the role to pursue another career. However, he is still deeply involved with the youth and community ministries at WBC. Ben is married to Maggie, a registered nurse, and they are now locals of Massey. To recharge, Ben enjoys gaming, gyming, and grazing, in no particular order.
