Who was responsible for opening the permanent work in New Zealand?

The opening of the permanent work in New Zealand is attributed to Elder Haskell. He played a vital role in establishing the Seventh-day Adventist Church in that region. His efforts included not just preaching and evangelizing, but also laying down the groundwork for the church’s mission and infrastructure in New Zealand. Haskell’s passionate dedication and organizational skills were essential in ensuring that the work could take root and grow, creating a lasting presence for the denomination in the area.

While other individuals mentioned have important roles in the history of the denomination, their contributions were in different contexts or regions, rather than specifically in starting the permanent work in New Zealand. Thus, Haskell’s direct involvement is what makes him the correct answer to this question.
