What’s Been Happening?
Thursday, April 2, 2009
Hey champs!
You may well have heard by now of some crazy changes going on at Soul Purpose. First, we wished Hayden fond farewell, then Elliot told us he was heading overseas.. and it was all on! The exciting news is that the brave new world of Soul Purpose has found it’s way to the warm embrace of Tash McGill. Once upon a time, Tash wrote some stories for Soul Purpose on mega-fab band Earthsuit. Check out the archives for a taste.
So, what happens now? Well, a few practical issues – the office has moved, so we’ll be updating all our contact details.. and you might have noticed a little less web traffic from us. That’s only because we’ve been working hard behind the scenes working out an exciting plan ahead.
We think we’ve pretty much got it sussed now and look forward to telling you all about it. Soul Purpose has a great history and an awesome future. Stay in touch, and expect to hear from us any day! Meanwhile, enjoy the last few days of daylight savings!
Have your say!

Hey all missin you guys…hope you’re back in time for a new mag for summer!!
Posted at 1:54 pm on September 3rd, 2009.“expect to hear from us any day!”
Well that’s a total misrepresentation. Maybe it would be better just to close SP down for good and then reopen it when it’s actually ready to go. It would be cool to get interact back up….Reb is long gone.

p.s not trying to be angry but I’m getting a bit ticked off, so much for “hearing from us in the next few days” and that was in April. It would be nice if someone at least commented and let us know the deal.
Posted at 8:25 pm on November 30th, 2009.Hey All.
Yup – first up, apologies for the lack of Soul Purpose in 2009 and communication on the website/email. We really do know that you guys are the heart and soul of the magazine and want to honour that.
I’ve been overseas for the last couple of months, working as well as collecting some great stories that you’ll be seeing the pages of the magazine. Here’s the full update on what we’re looking at.
Soul Purpose has been working on a partnership with the ANZTCA – a group of chaplains that work throughout universities, polytechnics and tertiary organisations. I’m personally really excited about distributing the magazine through this network as well as existing groups and subscribers.
When we shut down the forums for safety reasons, our hope was to make some changes to the website and the way we hosted discussion on the site. These plans are still underway – please pray for us and email your thoughts about the forums/discussion models to tash@soulpurpose.co.nz. I want to hear from you guys directly.
We are going to publish the “inaugural” edition of the magazine under this new phase of life to be available for orientation weeks on campuses around the country. We have a print date, copy in the bag and are closing out a couple more pieces. We’ll close out at the beginning of February and copies will be arriving for the start of March.
I’ve also been piecing together a really important part of the background story at Soul Purpose, the Board that helps give guidance and direction to where we are going! We’ll introduce them to you shortly, as they’ll be some of the voices you hear from regularly.
Features include a guest editorial from Stephen Christian of Anberlin, a photo essay and journal from a young couple’s trip to Ecuador, an interview with Dave Tomlinson, author and leader as well as some great O-week content for those moving into a new phase of life or getting back into the swing of it after a great summer break.
So – that’s the update. Look for a new email newsletter coming to your inbox with the same info and goss about the new look and feel of the magazine. You can stay in touch with us online with Twitter.. check out @SPMAgNZ.
Once again – I apologize sincerely for the delay in transmission – but you can always contact me directly tash@soulpurpose.co.nz.
Wishing you all the best for a merry, safe and well Christmas season.
Tash
