A man who spent 40 years living at West Coast religious sect Gloriavale is missing and those who care for him are extremely worried about him.
Peter Faithful has been missing from his Bishopdale home in Christchurch since Saturday morning.
Gloriavale Leavers' Support Trust spokeswoman Liz Gregory said in the past two years Faithful has spent time in mental health facilities, and then with family in Christchurch.
Faithful is 62 years old with grey hair and a short grey beard.
He was last seen wearing jeans, a blue shirt and black shoes.
