On the first week of December 2008, the Healing the Land Ministry was invited to facilitate the healing the land process with the Waidina tribe of the province of Tailevu here in the Fiji Islands. It was one solid week of fasting, prayer and seeking of Gods face. It was also a week of teaching and equipping the tribe with the Word of God. During the week, the tribe were taken through the word of God during day sessions and night rallies. On the first three days the whole tribe were taught that they are to be fruit inspectors and they are to see for themselves whether bad or good fruits are bearing within the tribe (Mathew 7:17 - 20 "Likewise every good tree bears good fruit. 18. Agood tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them".)
So the tribe were taught bad roots will bear bad fruits and likewise good roots will only bear good fruits. The tribe were also taught the 5 major sins in the bible that brings Gods curse and judment on the land and it's people and they are 1) Idoltary, 2)Adultery 3) Broken Covenants 4) Bloodshed 5)Tithe and Offerings.
They were taught that these are the bad roots in a community/city/nation that will definately bear out bad fruits. So during that week God was really speaking to them and they agreed that the tribe have been bearing bad fruits and they have sin against God, and they humbly expose their sins before God and asking for His forgiveness and mercy. During the week repentance and reconciliation took it's toll as God began to expose sins in their lives and families. One of the elders within the tribe have been practiciing witchcraft for over 30 years and he even has killed two of his own family members through witchcraft. All these time the whole tribe have been accusing him and pointing finger at him saying that he was bringing problems to them because of his witchcraft practice but he told them that he wasn't doing such a thing - witchcraft practice is something he didn't do. The power of God came upon the tribe at the last night of the process and this particular elder for the first time owned up that he really was practicing witchcraft and he couldn't hold back but to repent before God and to the whole tribe that he was practicing witchcraft and he was worshiping a snake god with diamond on it's head. He also confess that he killed two of his own family member through witctcraft. The tribe stood up and accepted him and thanking God that victory has come to the tribe because the devil has been exposed in the light of God when he has finally confessed that the problem and the bad fruits are part of his doing because through idolatry - the land is defiled and therefore Gods curse comes upon the land. This tribe elder now wants to worship God only and nothing else. The whole tribe sensed a great spritual release when they have finally renewed their covenant with the Almighty God and they have vowed to worship him in spirit and in truth.
At the conclusion of the meeting a word from Jeremiah was read to the tribe:
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 possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good. 20. Do men make their own god? Yes, but they are not gods! 21. "Therefore I will teach them, this time I will teach them my power and might. Then they will know that my name is the Lord."
They were told that people will come to HIM and acknowledged that their forefathers worshipped false gods that have brought them no good, after that he will teach them HIS power and might. That is exactly what is happening with the Waidina tribe - they have come humbly before God acknowleging that they have worshiped false gods and now God is at work in this tribe. This tribe have caught the FIRE and are on FIRE for the Lord! From the youngest to the oldest have given their lives to the Lord. Amen!

THE VISION CONTINUES TO SPREAD UP NORTH
Below is a report from one of the healing the land team that was led by Aminiasi Waqanivalu that ministered in POV for a week. She wants share her experience with you. Her name is Annie and this is her story:-
"My spirit is leading me to write to you both with great gladness in my heart concerning our trip to Puvirnituq to do the process of: The Healing Of The Land. Eighteen of us, all from Pangnirtung with brother's Aminiasi and Semisi included made twenty in all, left on the 18th of November and we just come back home yesterday (25th). Seven day's we was there. I am deeply humbled to have taken part in the process and continue standing in Awe even now as I write this letter to you both, of our Father God's Amazing Marvelous Love and of His Loving Gracious Mercy in which He through His Son Jesus, is pouring down rapidly accross the North in bringing Mighty Wonderous Healing to us Inuit who call upon Him with overwhelming heavy burdens & torn broken spirit. And that is exactly what I witnessed. What a Mighty God we serve. With great joy I share with you my own testimony of what I witnessed our Lord doing in POV while we was there . Healing of the Land and people in Puvinirtuq. Each morning at 9:00, we fasted and prayed and prayed at St. Mathew's Anglican church. And in the afternoon, we visited home's as pair's (eight group) to pray with family and homes as the people of puvirnituq has requested. And in the evening, we community gathered together in church for worship and praise which led following after aminiasi and semisi's teaching on the healing of the land. I tell you, God used them two figian brother's of ours so very mightily and powerfully. I tell you, there was healing taking place. A blind elderly woman recieved her sight after many years of living in total darkness. I met up with her the following day at her home while I was there with two other member's to pray and bless her home and family. She said at first it seemed impossible to have her sight back for all the vain's that connect to her eye's has all been cut off, then faith as small as a mustard seed crept in her then she could see light at first then colour followed by faint human figure's (people). She said she believes that she will have the full vision as the day's go by amen. And another woman with crippling hand desease was healed and now has the use of her hand with no pain . Greatest miracle happened when many stepped forward to recieve Jesus as their Lord and Saviour and many that had backslid returned to our Father God's loving bosom. Praise God. He is so very good, all the time. I felt such love for the people there that it seem too overwhelming at some point's. I truly believe that it was Father God's heartbeat I was feeling. I speak for eveyone of us from Pangnirtung i am sure of this and along with minnie and Sam that I could relate to and understand what they the people of puvirtuq was feeling for we under went through the struggle's and familiar pain and grief's we ourselves went through before Roger came with Vuniani and his team came to our community. The anguish, grief, burden and sorrow they been carrying for many year's, I felt with them. The questionable pain loss of loved one's through suicide and murder, I felt with them. The tormenting spousel and family abuse that take place there due to alcohol & drug abuse, I felt with them. And yes, even abuse in which we suffered from our own pastor's through the division and hate they had toward's one another our church's yes, I felt with them. I have friend's there in whom shared with me that even there was a brawl within inside the church one time which related pastor's and leader's sleeping with other's wive's and so respect, division and hurt resulted in just a few people attending church service's for a couple of year's following. Thank's be to God and our Lord Jesus Christ that nothing is impossible for Him to fix what we through our sinful action's has broken our relationship with God our Father. All is possible for Him what is impossible for us. Thank you Jesus. Furthermore on saturday, we went to an Island by ski-doo's and ATV's not far from there community with both pastor's from two different church's names; Jonas and Eliyasie along with local people from POV. The name of the Island is called......... I can't remember the name sorry!! On that Island, horrible unspeakable death's took place many year's ago. Game of death they called it. Similiar to russian roulet'. An elder man along with Eliyasi shared with us of the shocking story. We stood on the exact location in which there was a pit that had formed waist high in which two inuit person's were placed tide down as they were fired with arrow's shot with bow's of other inuit taught to them by white people who had arrived by boat's. The pit was formed by the two men's feet for they tried their best to stay alive and yet had so little space for they was tied up. The arrow's would hit them numerous time's until they was dead. The elder man who told us this horrible story said that he remember's two specific men who took too long to die though hit many time's with arrow's, were forced to run to an Island accross from where we stood, a race of death it turned into. Where as the two men holding onto their own intestine's and even dragging behind them even had to race to reach the Island first and the one who reach there first would surely be killed. As I listened to this horrible story which took place there, I for one if I was in one of those men's shoe's, I would want desperatly to reach their first so the pain would be nomore. That is so very sad to say but I am being honest here. My love for the people of puvinirtuq was forever carved in my heart I know and alway's will. They had estimated about a thousand inuit people died on that Island alone due to this game of death.Thank you Jesus for sending us to Puvinirtuq to hold them, love them. For it is your loving arm's and love we felt as you come to do so through us. But moreso even, thank you for saving them and bringing healing into their heart's, family and into that community. Thank you for you are indeed our Mighty Deliverer. The many number of death's through suicide and murder has continued to take place up until today surely this generational horrible act that took place there defiled there land and had tormented many familie's will be 'NOMORE' for our God rescue's them and bring's forth healing and restoration. Thank you Jesus. Last but not least. The two pastor's humbled and repented of their own sinful action's toward's one another and on behalf of other church leader's before them and today in the presence of Puvinirtuq town people. And made peace with one another in Jesus Awesome Mighty Name, and repenting to the congregation as well, restoration made whole. That was so very powerful for me to witness and so very beautiful. God is good. Their mayor name munszi, I am not sure if I spelled his name right , stood up before everyone in one of our service's and broke down with such emotional grief and for his people in POV followed by deep gratitude to Father God that so humbled him intensly before us all. He is a man with great faith and has strong love for the people there. That was so awesome to witness. During the last two evening's, we was so full of thankfullness in our heart's to our Lord God along with the people in POV. All we could do was, to Dance, Shout and Glorify our Redeemer, our King in worship and praise. For He is so very worthy. The people of puvinirtuq are beautiful people in heart and in spirit. So very welcoming, so beautiful. Truly Puvinirtuq will never be the same for God now is in complete control in every area of their live's as they want."
Love your sister and friend alway's in Christ Jesus

THE VISION CONTINUES TO SPREAD UP NORTH
Below is a writtern report of one of our healing the land ministry missionary named Aminiasi Waqanivalu. He is currently based in Pangnirtung in the region of Nunavut, Northern part of Canada. He leads a team of 20 people who have volunterily given their lives to go and be blessing to other communities as God has blessed them. The Healing the Landf Ministry from Fiji were in Pangnirtung in 2006, where we facilitated the healing the land process and God has been blessing this community. And now this community has taken the call of Abraham that he was blessed by God and to be a blessings to other communities.
Aminiasi reports:-
Bula, Quyannami and Welcome... in the name of the Almighty who is the sources of our life and strength.Hope that everything is fine since we are well protected under the wings of our Everlasting Dady....
2008 is a remarkable year for the province of Nunavut in the most Northern part of Canada and the Canada Awakening Healing The Land Ministry.During summer of this year a group of this ministry visited communities in the north of Canada for their Healing the land anniversary or Healing the land process.The team visited Pangnirtung and Clyde River for their anniversaries.The team also visited Pond Inlet and Artic Bay for the healing the land process where God moved in a very mighty way in the community and among His people.
Teaching and training were carried out to the people of Pangnirtung about healing of the land and it is an amazing thing to see how the Inuits of Canada could grab the vision of the Healing of the land and how God is rasing up some mighty men and women who are willing to lay down their lives for the sake of the gospel to their own people.
On the 18th of November 2008 a group of 20 men and women left the shores of Pangnirtung by two plane trips to Puvirntuq a community in northern Quebec for the Healing of the land process.Puvirntuq is a community where the community has been going through difficulties of murders,untimely death and suicide.After teachings and after hearing the word of God,the community were able to identify a killing ground where people used to perform killings in the form of a game.On Saturday 22nd of November,community elders and the team visit this site.They repent on behalf of their ancestors and ask God for forgiveness.The elders don't mind the cold snow as they knelt down and cried out to the Almigty God for His mercy and grace.The community went through repenting and asking God for forgiveness in this week acording to the key scripture of Healing the Land:
"if my people who are called by my name humble themselves seek my face and pray and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven,I will forgive their sins and I will heal their land 2Chronicle 7 :14" It was a great time for the community as they testifies freedom and release towards the end of the process.Also a great time for the two curch pastors and church members when they come to a time of forgiveness and unity.
The process took a week and at the end of the process, the pastors were able to select a group from these two churchers where they could run and sustain the process.We prayed for them and they have decided thhat they will be having prayer meetings every thursdays at 7pm.
On Tuesday 25th of November,the Healing the land team fro Pangnirtung returned safely to Pangnirtung after the Healing the land process in Puvirntuq.

Aminiasi Waqanivalu leading a procession of dance in celebration of what God is doing and is about to do for the people of Pont Inlet.
Yes the Healing the Land Fire from the South (Fiji) is spreading to the North(Nunavut). And God is connecting the South and the North together in a very unique way. There is a possibilty of spreading this FIRE to Greenland next year.
HEALING THE LAND FIRE SPREADS TO THE NORTH
The Healing the Land Team that travelled to Northern Canada in 2006. This pctured is taken in Rankin Inlet.
In July of 2006, a 11 member Healing the Land Team from Fiji including Rev Vuniani Nakauyaca were invited by the several communities in Nunavut (Northern Canada) to facilitate Healing the Land Process. The HTL Ministry partnered with the Canada Awakening Ministries in this mission trip to the North. We facilitated a 3day process in Rankin Inlet whereby the people of the land sought the Lord with a heart of humility and repentance was high on the agenda. People were repenting on behalf of the sins on the land - that is the sin of their forefathers and also different tribes reconciling with one another. There was also a time whereby the white brothers and sisters from the Canada Awakening Ministry led by Roger Armbruster took center stage and humbly confess to the people teh sins of the white people group who called the early Whalers, who not only came to do whaling but also use the females of the community during that time as sex slaves. So God was moving in the hearts of the people during these 3 days and literally was healing them from their hurts and pains. The HTL team than cleanse and speak blessing to the land. On the 4th day 15,000 carriboue roam back the land after 6 years of absence and their was also stories of black barries growing where they never grew and in bigger sizes, something which is totally rare to the community of Rankin Inlet. Also came back was the Whales and in large quantity after years of absence from the community.
On the same day the manifestation of God blessings began pouring on the land the HTL Team left for Pangnirtung where they faciliatated another HTL process. It was a week long process, but God did something very speacial with this community. There were lot of repentance, reconciliation with one another. But the most touching moment was when the 2 different denomination in this community reconciled for the first time and have vowed to work together and be the one church in the community. It was pretty much the issues or social ills that were occuring in Rankin Inlet was also occuring in Pangnirtung. So the people took their rightful palce and repentanted to God for the sins of the land because they now see for the first time that it was becuase of their sins the land has been cursed by God and the only way to lift that curse is for people who are called by Hi s name to stand in the gap and confess the sins of the land and also to covenant the land and people to God. This actually happened towards the climax of the HTL process whereby the Mayor of the community together with the church leaders and the whole community renewed their covenant with Lord. As this was taking place a rainbow hovered the meeting place at night. It was God confirming that he will never again curse the land as a sign to Noah during his days but now it was a sign to this community during their days.
After the HTL process news begin to broke out in communities that something new is happening there. God begin to bless the sea with its creatures and aslo the some young people begin to give up on drugs and have decided to follow the Lord. It was aslo reported that carriboue are back and black berries of today outnumbers the produce of yester years, flowers begin to grow where they don't used to. People are also healed and are begining to attend church. This move of God has led us into sending two of our missionary to work with the community in sustaining what has been accomplished so far. Below is an update we received from one of the member of the community:
Hi Savenacayour welcome for my little part. Semisi used my computer to send the pic's to u and came from my photo library told him to send them through direct from the pic library and it worked so he wont have to do all the hastle copy to his email anyways they have been teaching what they've been taught about the healing of the land ministry and the people here have responded with a very good out pouring of prayer and humbleling in our Lord's presence. we have seen slowly the blesings of animal's coming abundantly now the bird's called ptarmigan's are coming here even around our community and rabbit's and fox's so we have been getting ready for our first travel to Povinituk, Quebec Canada outside Nunavut we have been praying for that community and our own. and for that we know we well go through trial's and i'm already feeling the hardship our opposition is giving to my family and my self so keep praying for us as we ought to lay our life for our friend's.
your brother in Christ Andrew Qappik
