WHO WE ARE

ABOUT OUR TRUST

Ezekiel 33 Trust

We are a non-profit charitable trust formed in 2004.

The Logo is the love story behind the vision and is based on the “Te Pairpera Tapu”, the written Word of God!

The Shield represents the “Sheild of Faith” written about by the apostle Paul in the Book of Ephesians Chapter 6:10. The Shield of Faith also symbolises the faith walk the founders of Ezekiel 33 Trust, Taiawa & Stephanie Harawira have been travelling since turning their lives around some 18 years ago, when they gave their lives to Christ.

  • The colour Red represents the Blood of Jesus which eternally protects us, redeems us and sets us apart.
  • The White represents the Holy Spirit which was freely given to us and abides within us!
  • The three koro symbolises “new birth – born again” in The Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit!
