The prophetic people of Aotearoa have been saying for decades that Māori will lead the next major revival in our nation. That being the case, we need to understand the cause of the first awakening so that we can take those lessons from the past and apply them to our day.

This book considers how Māori were impacted when the Gospel came into Te Waipounamu (The South Island of New Zealand) around 1836. We often hear percentages quoted of how many were impacted during that first awakening. But do we really have an understanding of how and why it happened?

‘Te Waipounamu Awakening’ seeks to answer the following questions:

  • Why did Te Waipounamu experience that first spiritual awakening?
  • What was the preparation and international context?
  • Where were the entry points for the Gospel to Te Waipounamu and who did God use?
  • Where were the communities affected?
  • After widespread impact, why did many fall away from Jesus?
  • What were the schemes of the enemy to cause them to fall away?
  • How can we prepare the way for the Māori of Te Waipounamu and Aotearoa to experience
    another spiritual awakening?

‘Te Waipounamu Awakening’ contains numerous colour maps, photographs and paintings so the
reader can see where the events of the first awakening.
