Reformation Tonga

Hello from Tonga! It's been 4 days now since we arrived early Saturday morning, and so far we've had a fairly easy, laid back start to our visit. Yet having said that, last night things began to take shape and form of what we felt in our hearts that God wanted to do on this trip. For those of you who are not aware, David visited Tonga for the first time in about 5 years, back in February/March earlier this year. This trip for David ended up being a bit of an ambush by God, where He began to speak to David about returning to Tonga, not so much to build up Breakthrough Embassy Tonga (our church branch of Breakthrough Nation), but to bring a reform to the nation, and turn it back to His original intent and purpose. So many prophetic words have been declared and spoken over Tonga, but God has been looking for someone, a people, to bring all His promises and prophetic declarations into reality and manifestation. As a result of this initial trip this year, we have arrived this time with a more deliberate awareness and consciousness about working through strategies and connecting with people to begin to bring God's reform to Tonga. We felt in our hearts that our focus for our visit this time is the Body of Christ and the Government or political realm, setting platforms for God to bring in His desired reform to every aspect of life.
Last night, David happened to meet up with one of the seasoned government figures in politics currently, and shared with him his vision for reformation in Tonga. The man was amazed to hear the vision, and began to share with David the history of Tongan politics and particularly the Democratic political party with their journey and challenge to bring reformation and change to the nation for the sake of the people. At the end of their conversation, the man was so convinced that a change is needed at this time as the people have become disillusioned and disheartened by the current political party's inability to bring the necessary change to the nation. Not only this, but he expressed his belief in David's vision and heart to bring reform, not only because of the need for it by the people, but because the missing ingredients seemed to be in place with David and what he is proposing - essentially the values of selfessness, honesty, transparency and accountability. At the end of the night, the man fully gave his support to whatever David would do, and is hopeful of change through a new direction.

This morning, David had another significant meeting and live interview with one of the major privately owned media groups here. This turned out to be yet another divine meeting, as this man happened to be deeply involved with politics and media. Again David shared with him his heart for reformation in Tonga, and even during the television interview the man tried to hide his tears as he was once again inspired and given hope for the vision that he and many others had carried for so many years to see change come to the nation.

In essence what is happening right now, is that people everywhere are saying the same thing - it is time for change and a new direction for Tonga politically. That reform must take place in government, and new hope for a better future and direction for the nation is needed. So far, everyone whom David is speaking to are fully agreeing with what he is saying, and are even willing to back him in his vision to bring change.

Personally, it's been a huge eye opener for me and I'm just trying to adjust to everything that is taking place. For David, I think it's surreal. For me, I think it's outright SCARY!!!! Prior to this visit, I honestly thought I was ready in my heart to just up and leave everything at the drop of a hat and move to Tonga. But being here, it's been a huge reality check and exposure of my own considerations and fears, that I'm glad this is happening now rather than later..... hee, hee, hee....At this stage I guess I'm not sure of anything, but I'm just learning to take it one step at a time.

Well, stay tuned for more and please feel free to comment on my blog......
