C91) Smith Wigglesworth and Derek Prince, (recorded by A. Strom sometime after 2009):
Before his death in 1947 it is reported that the famous Pentecostal preacher Smith Wigglesworth prophesied to David du Plessis that “The last great outpouring of the Holy Spirit before Jesus comes would be in Australia, New Zealand, and the islands.”
It has likewise been reported that in 1975 the well-known Charismatic teacher Derek Prince prophesied that Australia and New Zealand would be used by God at the turn of the 21st century to lead a great Christian revival that would spread throughout the whole world, ushering in the return of Christ.
It has been reported that Loren Cunningham (founder of YWAM) and other leaders have also made similar statements – particularly about New Zealand being a springboard to the nations for Revival.
