The Blessing | Aotearoa - New Zealand Sign Language Version

With permission, we have created a New Zealand Sign Language version of The Blessing | Aotearoa/New Zealand. This uses the audio from our virtual choir arrangement and the full visual from Jenn, one of our NZSL contributors. Jenn points out that this is not an official translation but more of a creative expression of the heart of the message in "The Blessing". Subtitles are available by clicking the CC button. We hope this blesses the deaf community in Aotearoa.

Inspired by the many other “The Blessing” virtual choir videos that have gone before us, we - The Church of Aotearoa/New Zealand - have added our voices to the “voice” of the global Church to sing God’s words of His blessing over our nation and all people everywhere.

Aotearoa - Māori name for New Zealand, literally “land of the long white cloud”.
