Indvandring: Abraham Honoré reiste i kjærlighetssorg til New Zealand for å bli misjonær, etter å ha blitt avvist av en ung rik dansk pike, hvis familie ikke syntes han var god nok. Han reiste med skipet "Lady Nugent" fra Plymouth i England13. nov. 1848 og ankom Nelson, New Zealand den 13.november 1848, bare 8 år etter at England koloniserte New Zealand, som de offisielt gjorde i 1840. Han var den første dansken, og den første hugenotten. I en alder av 27 år tilbød han sine tjenester til det nordtyske misjonssamfunn, og ble akseptert. Han hadde blitt oppdratt på en gård, så hans utdannelse var utilstrekkelig. Han ble derfor sendt til et seminar i Hamburg for to år. I 1843 ble han interessert i Maori rasen, da en tysk hvalfanger kom tilbake til Bremen med en maori ungdom som medlem av mannskapet. Etter studier, sendte Samfunnet Rev Wohlers ut for å etablere en misjon på Sørøya på New Zealand. Etter at Rev Wohlers hadde vært på Ruapuke i fire år, sendte Bremen Society Abraham Honoré ut for å hjelpe ham. I tjue år jobbet de sammen på Sørøya. På gårder om dagen, og på Søndager forkynte de for maoriene. Ruapuke 1848. Stewart Island 1855. Jacobs River 1859. På anmodning fra Bremen Society ble han ordinert av Southland kirkeråd den 24 mars 1869. Honoré følte at befolkningen i Maori på Sørøya var avtagende stadig, og for få forble der for å rettferdiggjøre aktiviteten til Bremen Society der. Han reiste til North Island til Rangitikeiområdet, hvor det var en større maori befolkning, og han kunne da også være nærmere sine egne sønner. Rangitikei 1871. Han jobbet her uten økonomisk støtte fra New Zealand Presbyterian Church. Han ble støttet ved hjelp av sine venner, og et stipend på $ 100 årlig fra Bremen Society. Det ble rapportert til Generalforsamlingen i 1874 at en rekke menigheter hadde holdt innsamling for å hjelpe han og hans arbeide. Det ble oppfordret at som en mann som er ordinert av NZ Presb. Kirke skulle han også bli støttet av dem. På den tiden var ikke forsamlingen forberedt på å gå lenger enn å invitere alle menigheter til å holde en innsamling til hans støtte. Til slutt, i 1881 ble hans navn skrevet inn på rull i Kirken som en av våre misjonærer, for hvem Kirken tok økonomisk ansvar. Han var dansk, og han gjorde mange tjenester for danske nybyggere i New Zealand. Han jobbet i Rangitikei, Turakina, og Wangaehu distrikter, og senere også i Manawatu og Horowhenua distrikter.

• Abraham hadde 11 barnebarn som ble sendt i krigen på forskjellige steder i verden. Australia, Egypt, Saloniki, Asia og Europa. En av dem kom ikke tilbake; Fritz William Honoré, - den yngste av dem. Han er begravd i Frankrike.

Immigration: Abraham Honoré traveled to New Zealand in love grief to become a missionary, after being rejected by a young rich Danish girl, whose family did not think he was good enough. He traveled with the ship "Lady Nugent" from Plymouth in England13. nov. 1848 and arrived in Nelson, New Zealand on November 13, 1848, just 8 years after England colonized New Zealand, as they officially did in 1840. He was the first Dane, and the first Huguenot. At the age of 27, he offered his services to the North German Missionary Society, and was accepted. He had been raised on a farm, so his education was inadequate. He was therefore sent to a seminar in Hamburg for two years. In 1843 he became interested in the Maori breed, when a German whaler returned to Bremen with a Maori youth as a member of the crew. After studies, the Society sent Rev Wohlers out to establish a mission on the South Island of New Zealand. After Rev Wohlers had been at Ruapuke for four years, the Bremen Society sent Abraham Honoré out to help him. For twenty years they worked together on Sørøya. On farms during the day, and on Sundays, they preached to the Maori. Ruapuke 1848. Stewart Island 1855. Jacobs River 1859. At the request of the Bremen Society he was ordained by the Southland Church Council on 24 March 1869. Honoré felt that the population of Maori on the South Island was declining steadily, and too few remained there to justify Bremen activity. Society der. He traveled to North Island to the Rangitikei area, where there was a larger Maori population, and he could even be closer to his own sons. Rangitikei 1871. He worked here without financial support from the New Zealand Presbyterian Church. He was supported by his friends, and a $ 100 annual scholarship from the Bremen Society. It was reported to the General Assembly in 1874 that a number of congregations had gathered to help him and his work. It was urged that as a man ordained by NZ Presb. Church he should also be supported by them. At that time, the congregation was not prepared to go further than inviting all congregations to hold a fundraiser in his support. Finally, in 1881, his name was written on the roll of the Church as one of our missionaries, for whom the Church took financial responsibility. He was Danish, and he did many services for Danish settlers in New Zealand. He worked in the Rangitikei, Turakina, and Wangaehu districts, and later also in the Manawatu and Horowhenua districts.
