Ministering In Votua-Ba

                                 

PRAISE THE LORD FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE!

Votua village is located in the District of Ba in the north of the western side of Fiji. It is commonly known as the sugar cane belt area. We were invited by community to minister to them and take them through the Healing The Land Process which lasted for two weeks in February, 2013. After ministering to this community, blessings, restoration, healing and development has come to the community. Even young people (3rd and 4th) generation have been a living testimony to the wonderful work of GOD as the curse on their lives have been removed and now they are reaping the blessings and goodness of the Lord! At this event people gave their hearts to GOD and were baptised and are now filling up churches nearby. The community is situated right beside the Ba river, but in the past they struggle to put food on the table as they hardly catch anything from the river, But now GOD has restored crabs, fish, fresh water marshals, prawns and even fertility of their land has gone up. NOW! businessmen are lining up to the community with their wallets to buy from the people what GOD has restored back into their waters. Below are pictures of this event:-

We are really believing that its through this live broadcast that we will reach and impact the nation with the message. People from all walks of life have been keeping our phone lines busy as many, its a first time for them to hear the message and want to know more, while others are saying that this is the message of the hour for our nation, and also others have gone the extra step in inviting us to bring the process to them and their community. It has been ten (10) years that we have been ministering in communities around the nation at below the radar but we really believe that our "kairos moment" has come and therefore God is taking us to another level as far as ministering and disciplining the nation is concerned.We are convinced that we have the message that addresses the issues of our day such as Climate Change, Poverty, Plagues e.t.c.

God for the last ten (10) years have taken us into His laboratory and we have tested the message that He has given us to carry and its a proven fact that it applies to whole of life. So yes after coming out of these ten (10) years, we boldly say it works. And these experiences is enough for us to speak the message to our national leaders today. We are believing God for this, that leaders of our nation will come in obedience to the Word of God.

NATALEIRA Update - source The Fiji Sun News Ltd

Nataleira village has a well kept secret, the playful and graceful dolphins in the i qoliqoli. Long being part of their seascape, the villagers delight their visitors by sharing this secret and they have been doing so for a couple of years.

Naturally, the dolphins became the magnet that pulled staff of WWF, the conservation organisation, to take their meeting to ‘Natalei Ecolodge’ in the village.

The ecolodge is owned by Nataleira, one of 11 villages in the tikina Dawasamu and houses local and overseas tourists while generating income for the villagers.

A meeting room is the newest addition to the Natalei Ecolodge.

As it were, the WWF team is first to use the beach side meeting room and no doubt, countless others will follow.

Set in a row, fifty feet from the black sandy beach, the six thatch bures built with local materials by the villagers are ordinary but quaint, comfortable and clean.

Drifting asleep on and waking to the gentle burst of waves crashing on the beach is soothing and brings memories of hard work and a carefree childhood in my seaside village.

From the wooden decking under the dilo tree, no reef system is visible on the horizon and one stares out to the expanse of open sea.


Coral reefs are submerged in this i qoliqoli giving the illusion of open waters. ‘Moon reef’, called thus for its shape, is one of these and is home to the famed dolphins of Nataleira, a pod of 30 to 50 spinner dolphins.

The Dawasamu i qoliqoli(fishing ground) is 150.01 sq. kms or the size of 21,430 rugby fields and no fishing of any type is allowed in the ‘tabu’ or protected area, which takes up an area the size of 157 rugby fields.

Those that have been studying this i qoliqoli(fishing ground) say fish numbers are rising, sizes are bigger, there is more variety caught, the coral reefs are healthier and family income associated with fishing is increasing compared to a couple of years ago.

A management plan to guide the use of the collective iqoliqoli(fishing ground), and protect the dolphins, was put together in 2006 by the tikina and enforced on behalf of the tikina by the coastal villages of Nataleira, Silana, Nasinu, Lolomalevu and Driti, to address the increased take of fish and the associated damage it brings.

With benefits from managed i qoliqoli’s seen and felt by i qoliqoli(fishing ground) stewards, there is renewed commitment and resolve by the Dawasamu community, to improve and maintain the health and bounty of the i qoliqoli*fishing ground) “Me kedra sasalu tawa mudu na noda kawa” or ‘everlasting fish for our future generation’.

Emphasis Healing The Land Ministry
For those who may not know Nataleira village went through the Healing the Land process in 2004 and it was at this meeting that Rev Vuniani Nakauyaca prophessied that the Fire of God will fall in Nataleira, and it did, literal Fire fell on top of the water 3days later witnessed by villagers. Straight after that fish swam close to the shore after years of absence.

ROAD GIVES NAVATUSILA AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY - by Government Press

Government is aware of Navatusila as one of the most depressed and derived areas in so far as economic development is concerned.

With a total land mass of 12,120.47 HA, only 267 HA (2%) is under cultivation comprising root crops and yaqona, commodities, which are their only source of income.

Government is also fully aware of the high cost of transportation to the markets and the poor conditions of the road, factors that have compounded the hardship currently faced by the people of Navatusila and the neighbouring communities.

To this effect, a road was opened early this year in Navatusila to allow the villagers to travel freely to and fro.

The road is a realisation of a dream that Government has for the vanua of Navatusila.

The avowed objective of opening up the district of Navatusila, is to create the needed road access to the farms and markets for commodities.

The initial construction of the road was undertaken by loggers, mainly T.F.Jan who joined partnership with the Tui Navatusila to log indigenous timers in the late 1980s to the 1990s.

Subsequent Government’s have turned a blind eye to the plights of the people of Navatusila until 2003, when the Ministry of Provincial Development allocated $50,000 to upgrade the access road from Nagatagata to Nubutautau to facilitate the reconciliation process for the vanua of Navatusila with the family of the late Reverend Thomas Baker.

In January 2004, a Cabinet team led by the Minister for Lands and Mineral Resources Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu visited the vanua of Navatusila which resulted in a concerted effort by Government to implement this road upgrading project.

The project which is to cost Government a little over $1 million, comes in two phases the first being valued at $500,000.

And this year, Government has allocated $600,000 to complete the second phase that will be undertaken to include, Mare, Nabutautau, Natoka and Nabuabua access roads.

The tikina of Navatusila is located approximately 33 kilometres south of Tavua town, 45 kilometres east of Nadi town and about 20 kilometres North of Keyasi Government station.

It consists of four villages and three settlements with a total population of 936.

STATE OFFER MORE ASSISTANCE TO NAVATUSILA

Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama visited Navatusila District School (primary) and Reverend Thomas Baker Memorial Secondary School in Nanoko yesterday.

The visit was a follow-up on works carried out by the Fiji Military Forces engineers and to hear several needs from the school management and teachers.

Primary and secondary schools students lined the school green under the host sun to await the PM’s arrival.

Reverend Thomas Baker School principal Ratu Jo Gavidi then escorted Commodore Bainimarama on a tour of the premises.

“More military engineers will visit the school in February to assist men of Navatusila build another classroom block, which has already begun,” Commodore Bainimarama told parents and the vanua of Navatusila in Nubutautau.

“I would like to reiterate Government’s commitment on education. There is a need for us to work together in ensuring children are sent to school.

“The commissioning of electricity in Nubutautau is testament to this commitment.

“Students can now study under bright lights and not use electricity for watching movies,” Commodore Bainimarama said.

Ratu Jo in his submission to PM said the school was facing difficulties in harvesting pines planted on the school’s leased land for further development purposes.

Commodore Bainimarama reassured the school management that a team of government officials would visit landowners in Navala Village, Ba because of some confusion over lease monies distribution and land ownership.

He reminded elders and teachers there shouldn’t be any inference to any developments to the school and its property if the land had been leased for education purposes.

“Please remind those who want to disrupt developments to the school that the school is free to do anything on the land and benefit from it since it has leased the land,” Commodore Bainimarama said.

“Those who don’t comply and obstruct and try to benefit from what is not theirs’ can be prosecuted.”

The school also highlighted that dormitories were still shared by primary and secondary school students.

Ratu Jo told the Prime Minister they also needed to provide safe dormitories and housing for their teachers.

Navatusila tikina representative Savenaca Tuikubula said: “There were 68,000 pine trees planted by the vanua few years back to assist us in the development of the school.”

“A further 40,000 were planted by students and parents of the school.

“These were to be harvested for the construction of teachers quarters, dormitory and more classrooms.”

During a talanoa session with members of the vanua Commodore Bainimarama said Government would look into ways of providing further assistance to schools in Navatusila.

In 2008, the Minister for Education Mr Filipe Bole opened a new classroom block, which was donated by the Japanese and the Fiji Governments and built by the engineers of the Fiji Military Forces.

There are 80 students (both primary and secondary) from villagers in the district on Navatusila boarding at the school.

NAVATUSILA PROGRESSIVE DEVELOPMENT - by The Fiji Times News Ltd

THE completion of the Thomas Baker Memorial School in Nanoko is the best thing that has happened to the people of Navatusila.

The people of Navatusila have seen no major development in their district since their ancestors killed Methodist missionary Reverend Thomas Baker in 1874.
At a time when cannabalism was still practised, the villagers believed that the descendants of the village have been cursed for slaying and eating God's man.

So the opening of the four-classroom block worth $200,000 and funded by the Government is a blessing for the tikina.

Nanoko villager and school head teacher, Savenaca Tuikubulau said the school was the answer to their prayers. Mr Tuikubulau, a former head teacher of Navatusila District School and now heading Nalotawa District School, said more of their children would now be educated. "There's only a few educated Navatusila people around, so the school is going to help increase that," he said.

Mr Tuikubulau believes the district needs more educated people to help develop the area.

"There had been no development here," he said, adding education would help elevate the standard of living there.

"People here find it hard to send their children to secondary school because we hardly have any relatives in urban areas."

Acting principal Solomoni Ratuloaloa said the school was an achievement for the villagers.

Mr Ratuloaloa saidnot only children from the tikina but those from neighbouring villagers would be legible for enrolment.

"At the moment, the 17 students and four teachers are still using two classrooms at Navatusila District School," he said.

There are nine male and seven females in forms three and four.

Emhasis Healing the Land Ministry
For those who may not know, Navatusila is the district where the Healing the Land ministry ministered and facilitate the reconciliation between the descendants of the late Rev Thomas Baker (whom the people of the area killed)and it's people in 2003.

God Gives You The Desire of Your Heart

Chief Vuniani Nakauyaca sharing the word of God in Pond Inlet

In July of 2009, Chief Vuniani and Savenaca Nakauyaca were invited by the community of Pond Inlet in the Arctic, Canada to be guest at their 1st healing the land anniversary and while there they were asked to facilitate the Healing the Land process on an island that have been defiled by past generations through adultery and sexual sins.They were told that the Scottish whalers would come ashore on this island and would drink alcohol with the males of that community and in return they would take the females into the ship for sexual pleasure. And at times even the husband would voluntarily exchange their wives with alcohol.This community were under Gods curse as consequences to their actions. So at this gathering, by the grace of God there happened to be a Scottish couple who heard about what was going to take place, they flew from down south Canada to this community just to repent on behalf of the sins that their forefathers - the Scottish Whalers did.

Savenaca Nakauyaca

As Savenaca Nakauyaca shared the word of God on that particular island, the couple from Scotland couldn't hold back tears as they could feel the pain that was so deep in the hearts of the people of what the Scottish Whalers did to the people of this community. As they knelt down to repent before the people there was a complete silence, as words were hardly spoken by the couple from Scotland cause wailing and travailing took over! At the same time the presence of the Lord descend upon the island and people were all on their knees crying out as God as touched and heal the generational hurts in their heart. Also a time was given to one of the man to repent on behalf of all the man that allowed their women to be considered as a sex object to the Sottish Whalers.

Reconciliation between the Scottish descendants and the people of Pond Inlet

This gathering climaxed to the reconciliation between the Scottish descendants and the people of Pond Inlet followed with cleansing of the island by the element for cleansing. At the end of the process Savenaca asked the people; as to what they want to see happen in their community or what they want God to do for them? They all want Bow-head whale and Caribou to come as it has been absent from their waters for 100 years and the Caribou for over a decade. These two of the delicacies that they have missed for a long time. And a prayer of blessings was made to God for the desire the people have in their heart - that is for them again enjoy the meat of Bow-head whale and Caribou. Guess what!A few months later to the surprise of the community, a huge Bow-head whale were swimming their waters after 100 years of absence. One of the leaders in Pond Inlet had this to say via e-mail;
"Greetings from Nunavut!
It has been a year since Healing of the Land process took place near our community where Scottish whalers had their posts. It is quite significant that last week in Pond Inlet, the same week when we held our healing of the land process, caught their first bowhead whale after over hundred years. This is truly a sign of God's wonderful blessing to the community. I'm attaching a photo of the whale caught by the hunters.
Thank you for your obedience to God's voice and going to different nations and doing healing of the land process.....I encourage you to continue to do God's wonderful work!
Yours in Christ,
Martha"

But for the Caribou while Savenaca and Vuniani Nakauyaca were still there, they witnessed the killing of the first one, and hunters say that they have come close to their community in large quantity as never before. Yes when Gods favor comes upon the land He definitely will you the desires of your heart...the people of Pond Inlet got what they desired for from the Lord!

Before there weren't any flowers nor black berry growing on the land because of its geography (rocky and snow), but now flowers are blooming everywhere and black berry bearing as never before.

MOUMI VILLAGE - (December 2009)

The village of Moumi in the province of Tailevu invited the HTL ministry to facilatate the HTL process for 3 weeks. The first week was spent on fasting and preparing the hearts and mind of the people towards the Healing the Land process that will follow for the other two weeks. The whole community were sanctioned by their Chief to seek the face of God, in was that like of the story of the city of Nineveh when the king sanctioned that everybody seek the face of God through fasting even the animals. People were desparate for God to the point that een their normal church program have to be suspended. The three different church denominations in the village came together to seek the face of God. They repented of their sins and the sins of their fathers. They called on the Lord with a corporate desparate cry for forgiveness and mercy. The people repented towards one another which took the service to 12 midnight, the chief of the village knelt of his knees in front of the whole village to ask forgiveness from them for the wrong way he has been leading them and aslo for his sins. As that happened no body could hold back tears. In the past the Methodist church in the village split into two, caused by fighting and disputes within the church leaders. So during the process they have been reunited through the Cross of Jesus Christ. Well God has touched this village with his love and the whole village have been celebrating the wonderful works of God....Glory be to God!!

There were alot of restoration of relationship after years of fighting and quarrelling over land ownership. Also hearts were united after church leaders used to fight over as to whom shall be the right person to be leading the church which caused people to leave the church and end up backslidden. On the last day of the process at the Assemlies of God church, it caught the pastor and the elders of the church by surprise when the church building that was half empty are now filled up that the building couldn't hold more people and people haveno other option but to stand outside the church uilding while the service continue until end. People that have gone away from that church for more than 5 years are now back, also in the fold are the new souls that gave up their hearts to God...Yes God is FULL of Surprises!!!

They fasted, prayed and repented to God and towards one another for two weeks as the HTL team took them through the process through the teaching of God's word. Its was a time of surrendering everything at the foot of the Cross and many gave their hearts to Jesus and vowed to serve Him.

HTL PROCESS AT NAIBATI

HTL PROCESS AT NAIBATI - NAKELO (8th - 12th June, 2009)

Rev Vuniani Nakauyaca ministering to the Naibati clan during the htl process.


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.

HEALING THE LAND VISION SPREADS TO THAILAND

For the last two years Rev Vuniani Nakauyaca has been invited to Thailand to speak at Healing the Land conferences in different cities. Almost every time he returns from Thailand, definitely there would be an invitation already on it's way for him to return. It just shows how desperate and hungry are peoples' heart for God. So in November 2008, he was again invited to Thailand to speak and actually help the people facilitate the htl process at conference venues. He spoke at 3 different cities whereby God just moved powerfully and even the priest of Bhuddah were also present at the meetings. People's desperation for God is taking it's toll that they have again invited Rev Nakauyaca to come over in February 2009. God is definitely at work in this nation and there have been reports coming in that some communities are experiencing God's healing come to them.
Jeremiah 16:19-21 "O Lord, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, "Our fathers possed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good. 21. "Therefore I will teach them - this time I will teach them my power and my might. Then they will know that my name is theLord."
We believe that this is what will happen to a nation that has worshipped idols as it's national religion....they will literally come to God and confess that their forefathers have worshipped false worthless gods that did them no good. And God will teach them His power and might....and they will know the name of the Lord..... Yes! Let it be Lord...!

RIVER OF HEALING FLOWS TO THE ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES - WA, AUSTRALIA

On January 5th - 15th 2009, Reverend Vuniani Nakauyaca was one of the guest speakers at the "Let the River Flow - Let the Fire Burn conference in Perth, Australia. The conference was hosted by Arrowhead Ministry in Perth. The gathering was attended by Aboriginal brothers and sisters from across Australia, also attending the gathering were different individuals from different communities. Rev Vuniani Nakauyaca spoke on Healing the Land from 2Chronicles 7:14 and really challenged the people that they have to humble themselves before God and repent for all the defilements done on the land if they want to see Him heal their hearts, families and communities. He also emphasised to them the importance of agreeing to the true nature of sin on the land and the willingness to repent and choosing the way of righteousness. The Aboriginal people group were also told of the importance of them taking their rightful place in God by standing up on behalf of their forefathers and the defilements they had done on the land on the one hand whilst the later immigrants were told of the importance of making right their wrong deeds towards the original occupants(Aborigines). There was great response from the people and a stake was pegged to the ground when htl process began right there at the meeting venue. It was God who just orchestrated things together and reconciliation began with the different people groups and also the sins of the land were confessed to God by the Aboriginal friends, taking their rightful place in God - cause they are the original occupants of the land. It was such a powerful time as people began to sense a release in their hearts. The gathering climaxed at a site where it used to be the "LOST GENERATION". It is a place where in 1933, the Aboriginal children were taken away from their different homes, communities and were made to stay at this particular place by the later immigrants. The Aboriginal children were taught a new lifestyle and were cut off from their families, communities and culture. So this has caused wounds in the hearts of the Aboriginal people until today. And these wounds can only be healed by the power of forgiveness through the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. So at the vary particular site Rev Vuniani Nakauyaca led the htl process whereby reconciliation took it's toll between the Aboriginal people and the later immigrants who humbled themselves before God and ask forgiveness for all the wrong doings their forefathers did and the wounds and pain it has caused. As reconciliation took place the Presence of God just invaded the whole place and people could hardly stand on their feet. People were crawling on the ground and crying out to God for forgiveness. Also present were some young people from the Aboriginal communities and the older generation representing the later immigrants again humbled themselves and asked forgiveness from these young people who represented the lost generation and the young people released forgiveness and were prayed for and released from bondage in Jesus Name...There was a great release in the spiritual realm as the people stood together as one. Yes! the river of Gods healing is flowing into the Aboriginal communities.

GODS HEALING COMES TO POND INLET

In July 2008 our missionaries to the North Canada, Aminiasi and Semisi were invited with Roger Armbruster of the Canada Awakening Ministries to facilitate the Healing the Land process. It was such a powerful time as the community of Pond Inlet responded to Gods word. Below is a report from one of the key leaders from the community that helped co-ordinated the gathering:

"Hello, Bula, tauvauvusi Fijimiut from Pond Inlet, Nunavut. I praise and honor God for what He is doing in the north and what He is doing between the North and the Fiji nation as it says in the Bible:
Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden that its fragrance may spread abroad. Let my lover come into his garden and taste its choice fruits. Song of Solomon 4:16
On July 2008 Healing the Land Ministry came to Pond Inlet and did the healing the land process with the elders, community leaders and community members. We saw many people repent from past sins and for defiling the land. We also witnessed crying of pains and releasing of all the bondages. There were many healing, restoration and reconciliation among the people, the team also visited homes to bless the families and their homes.

Before they arrived I was praying about this all night, and the Bible verse came to me:
Joel 2:18-29; Especially "18 Then was the Lord jealous for His land and had pity on His people.
19 Yes, the Lord answered and said to His people, Behold, I am sending you grain and juice [of the grape] and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the [heathen] nations." and the rest of the verses.
This really confirmed what the Lord wanted to do in our land.
The blessing already started even before the team came to Pond, there were fish caught right in front of our community, and they were huge sized fish too. And during their stay, Semisi caught several fish. After they left, there was more great abundance of fish, blueberries, ptarmigan, foxes and narwhals.
On November 2008, we were more blessed when the narwhals were trapped on the frozen ice, people of Pond were granted to harvest all of them by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, which is quite rare for them to give the Hunter and Trappers Organization a full support in any way. For 2 weeks they were harvested and the total narwhals caught were 629. With this abundant blessing we were able to bless other communities in Nunavut and Nunavik by sending them muktaaq (narwhal skin, which we eat).

The community were in high spirits and joyous. The Hunter and Trappers Organization were praising God for the blessing even though most of them are non-church attenders, they could see that after the July healing the land process that something shifted and God has opened the windows of heaven of blessings. People of Pond Inlet went on their local radio station daily, people calling in and praising the Lord.
The community wanted to thank the Lord and have a community celebration, as church leaders, we decided to invite Aminiasi, Semisi and Roger Armbruster to celebrate with us. Aminiasi and Semisi arrived on December 18, 2008 and the next day there was a great community feast and celebration and they were able to take part in the celebration with our community members.

For the rest of 4 days we praised the Lord at our local church, On Sunday night we had the youth lead in worship and praise and in prayers. As a youth pastor, the Lord was telling me that we have to bless you (Fijians) for all the work and dedication you are doing. We prayed for Israel and for your nation, Fiji. We felt that we needed to bless you for all the great things you are doing with Nunavut, we could really feel the connection it was very powerful!

And on Monday night, Hunters and Trappers Organization were being blessed for all the great work that they were doing. As I mentioned before, most are non-church goers and when they were being prayed for, they could feel the anointing and they were testifying what how God has blessed us and some were shouting hallelujah! During the time of the narwhal harvest, they reported that the RCMP didn’t have any one complaining or being taken to jail. And the Health Centre was very quiet; the nurses were in peaceful time, no emergencies. The HTO chairman smelled the sweet smell of the Holy Spirit at the church, which he has never experienced before.
For the rest of few days we prayed for homes and have evening praise and worship. People of Pond Inlet are truly blessed; we give all the praise to the Mighty King, our Heavenly Father, Jehovah Jira! Glory to His name!"
