A clan called Naibati had invited the ministry to facilitate the Healing the Land process at their community on the second week of June. This community is one of the few communities in the area that are well of and have business and even some of them now leave in Australia. But in all that they have achieved, they knew that something isn't right with them - and that is their relationship towards one another has really deteriorated and they have bad feelings towards one another and this has even passed down to the next generation(their sons and daughters). Their building construction business colapsed and some of them had been sacked from the company where they worked. They also have a church on their piece of land who is pastored by one of them (Pst Malakai) but he agreed that he had find difficulty in having the church grow, and he knew that something is wrong. Even on the land where the church is built there have been dispute over that amongst the clan which brought division among them.

During the htl meetings they were taught regarding the sins of man has caused God to curse the man and land. They were also taught that God only dwell amongst people who live in unity. At the end of the week they repented for idolatry (their forefathers used to worship idols), adultery, breaking of covenants, bloodshed and also for not giving their tithes and offering. There was also a break loose of the Spirit of God as people reconcile amongst themselves. Even their family members who live in Australia had to travel to Fiji to attend this important even. The meeting climaxed when the whole clan have all agreed to covenant their families, clan and land back to God, which they did and such peace and joy came to the hearts of all people. So the healing of God has began in the hearts of the people and restoration of relationships. Yes this clan is on a new journey towards their destiny with God leading them at every step.

Healing the Land to Healing the Prison

Above are members of the Healing the Land Team that have been ministrying in Prison.

On the first week of May, God opened a door for effective work in one of the 3 prisons within Suva. It is called the "Reformation Training Center" or RTC which is commonly known in Fiji. It is a place where young law offenders are held behind bars from the ages of 17years - 30years. There are six dormitories altogether that host the 100 plus prisoners at RTC. It is also known as the breeding ground to far even greater criminal activities. Prisoners who are held captive here, firstly are first time offenders and are taken in for committing minor crimes but when they are released these same faces would normally re-appear before the court but now with great criminal offenses like murder, bank robbery e.t.c. So a survey was done by the Fiji Prisons Department and it was found that while this young people were at RTC, they normally plan and strategies for much bigger criminal activities and when they get out of prison they would commit them and it is also a way of rebelling against society for not accepting them. These prisoners come out of RTC and enter into the Maximum prison in Naboro. So we were told by the prison wardens if the young offenders at RTC are transformed, the Maximum prison would also be transformed and even be left empty.
For the month of May, the ministry have been visiting and taking healing the training at RTC on Thursdays and Fridays from 4.30pm - 5.30pm. The young prisoners were taught regarding the curses of God on our lives for the sins of our forefathers. For the first time for them to hear such a comforting statement after years of rejection by society and even their own families. When they heard that they are just bearing the bad fruits of a bad seed that was sown into their family, village sometimes ago by their forefathers (Deuteronomy 5:7-9)(Matt 7:17-20). They were taught that to make the entire tree good (self, family, village), is to uproot the bad roots that are there in their family lines, villages. As they hear this; inmates could not hold back tears and wept bitterly before God, repentance also took it's toll as their eyes were opened for the first time to this truth and there have also been great responses from them. There is a great interest from inmates towards the Gospel. Most of them asked us to be praying for them as they are released they would take the message of 2CHR 7:14 to their respective villages and families. We have not only ministered to them but also gone the extra mile in meeting some of their physical needs. Currently we have been told that we can hold a full service inside the prison complex and that is when their respective families are invited to that meeting. We are praying that God would lead this gathering into a reconciliation between the prisoners and their families and not forgetting the prison wardens and the prisoners. We are believing God that htl process will go into the prison. Yes we are believing God to transform the prison and also for God to raise mighty man of God inside those four walls.
