Here is a posting from http://blog.prayers.org/?p=655 about NZ’s state of religion a prayer requests for Feb:

4 – 6 Pacific: New Zealand is a secular society; people see the church and Christianity as irrelevant. More and more people claim to be of ‘no religion’ and churches are rapidly shrinking and losing their young people. Churches need to understand how to reach out to these ‘post-modern’ generations.

New Zealand is ranked 4th in the world for the number of missionaries that it sends out.

Large numbers of Polynesians have immigrated to New Zealand to look for work. Auckland has the largest Polynesian population of any city in the world. Many live in poorer areas, where unemployment and crime are commonplace.

The recent revival in Maori culture is changing New Zealand society. Throughout history Maoris have suffered; they lost rights to their land in the 19th century and now have higher levels of unemployment and poverty than European New Zealanders.

 

Pray that a new generation of Maoris would find cultural acceptance and freedom in Jesus.
