Summary
New Zealand has a highly developed economy. Sources of income include agriculture, logging, tourism, manufacturing and gold mining. There is an old joke about there being more sheep in New Zealand than people. There is a wide diversity among the Hindi speakers who have departed their homeland of central India. Most of the Hindi people in New Zealand fit into the middle class as shop keepers, owners of restaurants and small businesses. Many also work in retail, trade and finance. Some professionals in medicine, science, engineering, and information technology are some of the highest paid people in New Zealand.
Obstacles
The Hindi speaking diaspora needs to find a new love—a love for Jesus Christ, the one who offers them life to the full. As it stands, most are satisfied with religion.
How reach
New Zealanders can take the gospel to South Asian cultural events and establish friendships with those who need the gospel.
Pray for p g
Ask the Lord to lead Christ followers and churches in New Zealand to reach out and build friendships with the Hindis. Pray that the small number of Hindi Christian believers will be a light for the other Hindi people. Ask the Holy Spirit to soften the hearts of the Hindis in New Zealand towards Christ so that they will be receptive to the gospel. Pray that the Lord raises up a Disciple Making Movement among the Hindis of New Zealand in this decade.

Summary
The first Gujarati immigrants in New Zealand were tradesmen, shop owners and small businessmen. The second group were engineers, medical professionals and property managers. Retaining their culture is very important to Gujaratis in New Zealand though they live in a very different cultural world.
Obstacles
Hinduism is an important part of the Gujarati culture. They have moved to a land without a Hindu culture. To them, embracing Christ would mean sacrificing more of what is familiar. They do not understand that one can be Gujarati and also a follower of Christ.
How reach
Gujaratis in New Zealand need the opportunity to hear the gospel in their language and culture. They need to understand themes such as sin, forgiveness of sin, repentance, faith and knowledge of the nature and work of Jesus Christ.
Pray for p g
Pray for Holy Spirit led workers to go the Gujaratis in New Zealand. Pray for a movement where Gujaratis can embrace Christ while retaining parts of their culture that don't conflict with the Bible. Pray for the Holy Spirit to illuminate the gospel to convict Gujaratis of their need for salvation found only in Jesus Christ.

Summary
Most Tamil speakers are either from India's southeastern state of Tamil Nadu or northern Sri Lanka. Some have migrated to other parts of the world including New Zealand, where Tamil speakers have associations in both Auckland and Canterbury. Tamil speakers are one of the major South Asian peoples that have gone to other parts of the world. However, they are not as likely to be part of the South Asian diaspora as those who speak Punjabi, Gujarati or Bengali.
Obstacles
Though there are Tamil believers in other parts of the word including India, none of them are in New Zealand at this time.
How reach
New Zealand believers can join Tamil speakers in their festivities and celebrations as a way to get to know them. Those who are spiritually hungry can be the best people to share the gospel with.
Pray for church
There are no Tamil speaking believers in New Zealand, so pray that believers in India will be called and sent to Auckland.
Pray for p g
Pray for spiritual hunger among the South Asian diaspora in New Zealand. Pray for Tamil language Bible studies and fellowships to spring up in New Zealand. Pray for the Lord to raise up missionaries to Tamil speakers in New Zealand.

Summary
It is common for Thai Isan women to move to Western countries like New Zealand to marry local men. These women are marrying for economic security, not love. Commonly a Thai Isan woman will marry a man who lives in a remote place where Western women do not want to live. In New Zealand, she might find herself a farmer's wife, helping to tend sheep. Since the Thai Isan are from a rural part of Southeast Asia, this usually is not a big adjustment. However, since she is probably the only Asian in a remote place where everyone else speaks English, this can cause her to be lonely. There is a Thai Association in New Zealand, and this provides them with some comradery with people from the old country. Ironically, it is called "Thai" though the people are actually Thai Isan, a different ethnic group from a different part of Thailand.
Obstacles
Thai Isans in New Zealand usually live in remote parts of the country. They typically have an attitude that Buddhism is best for them, and Christianity is for someone else.
How reach
Women who are good at making friends can make friends with Thai Isan women, and introduce them to their best friend, Jesus.
Pray for church
There are no believers among the Thai Isan people in New Zealand, so pray for a new move of the Holy Spirit among them.
Pray for p g
Pray for Thai Isan people in New Zealand to put their worth in God, not in the world system.

Summary
Urdu is a major language, closely related to Hindi. In fact, it is a Persian-ized version of Hindi, widely spoken in northern India and Pakistan. One can also call those who speak Urdu the Urdu people. Those in New Zealand tend towards urban centers, especially Auckland. Many Urdu speakers have made a good life for themselves in New Zealand. Some are cricket players, and others hold professional jobs, though most have more ordinary jobs.
Obstacles
Islam and materialism are both strongholds that keep people from giving Jesus a chance to transform their lives.
How reach
There are plenty of strong believers in New Zealand who can take the gospel to the Urdu speakers in their country.
Pray for church
There are no followers of Christ among the Urdu people in New Zealand, so pray for the Holy Spirit to move among them in the years to come.
Pray for p g
Pray that believers will reach out to the Urdu people with the gospel. Pray for spiritual hunger among the Urdu people in New Zealand that will give them the willingness to seek and find Jesus Christ no matter how much it costs them in their community. Pray for a Disciple-Making movement among Urdu speakers in New Zealand.

Summary
The Min Nan people, also called Hokkien or Hoklo, are originally from southern Fujian Province in southeastern China. Some fled to Taiwan during the Japanese occupancy in 1895. In the mid 19th century, the Min Nan were among the Chinese who immigrated to New Zealand because of a gold rush. After WWII, another wave of Chinese immigrants fled the communist takeover of China, making their home near Auckland.
Obstacles
The religion practiced by the Min Nan Chinese is deeply rooted in a people's ethnic identity. Conversion is seen as cultural assimilation or even betrayal.
How reach
Believers can attend Min Nan cultural events and seek out persons of peace who might be the key to reaching their community in New Zealand.
Pray for church
Pray for the believers among the Min Nan people to be filled with faith in Jesus Christ alone and to be willing to share that faith with others.
Pray for p g
Pray for Chinese groups in New Zealand to disciple those who are spiritually hungry in the ways of Jesus. Pray for many disciples to flourish among the Min Nan in New Zealand.

Summary
The peoples of India have managed to go to other parts of the world to make their mark, and Telegu speakers are no exception. Telegu refers to a Dravidian (southern Indian) language spoken mainly in India's states of Andhra Pradesh and Telegana, where it is the official language. This is one of India's most prosperous states. Still, some Telegus can make even more money by going to New Zealand.
Obstacles
Prosperity is an obstacle to the gospel. People who have plenty of money tend to think that all their needs are met.
How reach
There are believers from other South Asian communities in New Zealand that can reach out to Telegu speakers.
Pray for church
Pray that the Christ followers in New Zealand will not allow their faith to give way to traditions, but allow the Holy Spirit to direct them to share the Savior with others.
Pray for p g
Pray for Telegu speakers to begin Disciple-Making movements among other South Asian peoples.

Summary
Many states in India have their own language and Karnataka is no exception. The Kanarese are Kannada speakers who blend in well with other South Asians who have migrated to New Zealand. With the exception of those who speak Bengali or Gujarati, South Asians tend to come together as one group. However, Kannada speakers did establish their own association in 1994. This New Zealand Kannada organization is intended to preserve the language, culture and religion of Karnataka for those who have migrated to New Zealand.
Obstacles
The South Asians in New Zealand are seeking abundant life from sources that cannot offer it. Only Jesus Christ offers abundant life.
How reach
Believers who enjoy the food and culture of South Asia can attend their events and make friends with people. They can eventually find those who want a relationship with the Creator through the Savior.
Pray for church
Pray that those who follow Christ among the South Asians in New Zealand would honor the Lord and draw others to him through their words and actions.
Pray for p g
Pray for spiritual hunger to come to the Kanarese and other Hindu South Asian people groups in New Zealand. Pray for believers to lovingly reach out to the Kanarese in New Zealand. Pray for reproducing disciples among them.
