DRAUBUTA village is the place that caught the whole nations attention when 9 youth uprooted their 13, 864 marijuana plants. During the htl process way back in June of 2004, the whole community where really desperate for God to come and visit them. And you know what? He came like a dove with healing and blessings underneath its two wings. Six months after the htl process, a road was constructed to their community for the very first time after years of walking on foot for five hours to get to the main road to catch transport to town or their desired destination (refer to "Gods Promises are Yes" story below). There were blessings in homes as their young people begin to flock into church as never before and they would pray together every night during the week at different locations. The different church denomination in the community have a heart for Unity and they would meet together every last Sunday of every month to have a combine service. Just recently a logging company own by a foreigner is in the process of logging their forests and he is committed to do maitenance on their road and also for the community to be employed - the males to work in the forest logging. And he has also committed to build a primary school for the 3 communities, they are Navitilevu, Nakoro, Draubuta. Currently the school children from these 3 communities boards at the school where they are attending right now since it is really far from their home. They come home during weekends. But now they are about to have a school of their own which is just a walking distance away. This community is also declared drug free until today...
What is happening here? It is God responding with His goodness and mercy to the desperate cry of His children.
Currently we have 2 members of our healing the land team in this community to continue working with churches and the community.
