New Zealand was originally part of the Australasian Mission. Interest in having New Zealand be its own mission grew in 1881 when the preaching to the Maori people began. In 1898 the Australasian Mission was divided to reform the Australian Mission and organize the New Zealand Mission.
In 1907 the periodical Elders' Messenger, began publication in January 1907. It carried a Maori-language supplement called Te Karere. In 1908 Te Karere became its own periodical.
