Former Gloriavale resident Peter Faithful has been missing since Saturday.
Concern is mounting for a former Gloriavale resident in his 40s who has been missing for five days.
Peter Faithful, 62, has been missing from his home in the Christchurch suburb of Bishopdale since Saturday morning.
Gloriavale Leavers’ Support Trust spokeswoman Liz Gregory said the trust had serious concerns about her well-being.
Faithful lived in the remote West Coast Christian community of Gloriavale for more than 40 years, but in the past two years she had spent time in mental health centers and then with her family in Christchurch.

He is described as having gray hair and a short gray beard, and was last seen wearing jeans, a blue shirt, and black shoes.
“No food or belongings are believed to have been taken. He doesn’t have a cell phone and he doesn’t have access to money, ”Gregory said.
“There are serious concerns for his welfare.”
Gregory said that Faithful had selective mutism and might not speak to strangers for help.
“Faithful has an affinity for remote areas, and she may be in the wider forested regions of Christchurch, or she may have started walking or hitchhiking to Greymouth.”
Faithful’s disappearance had been reported to the police and all who saw him were encouraged to call them.
