the cba team
CBA was formed over 35 years ago by John Hawkesby and friends to "communicate the essentials of the Christian Faith to those who have never understood". CBA is an interdenominational trust which has the endorsement of every mainline Christian denominational leader in New Zealand. CBA is a very simple, low cost organisation run by three permanent and two alternative trustees.
