Preaching & Teaching
Proclaiming Christ clearly, faithfully, and practically.
For more than 10 years, Blaze Ginio has been preaching and teaching the Word of God across multiple churches, gatherings, and communities in three different countries. With experience preaching over 50 sermons on a wide range of biblical topics, Blaze is passionate about communicating Scripture in a way that is faithful to the text, centred on the gospel of Jesus Christ, and relevant to everyday life.
Blaze was formally trained in preaching, teaching, and theology through the Church Planting Course run by the Advance Movement of Churches in South Africa. His ministry approach has been shaped by theological influences from the reformed, baptist, evangelical, and catholic traditions, giving him a well-rounded appreciation for sound doctrine, church history, and faithful biblical interpretation.
Currently anchored at Lane Park Church in Upper Hutt, Wellington, Blaze ministers under the leadership, authority, and accountability of the church elders, while also serving churches and ministries more broadly through itinerant preaching and teaching engagements.
