This particular visit with the Princess was a significant start to the current movements taking place in Tonga today. She basically prophesied over David and spoke to him about his role in Tonga.

Further updates on Tonga

Already it is almost a week since we arrived back from our whirlwind trip to Tonga. So much took place, that it has been difficult to find where to begin in writing about it all. Since my last blog, it ended up being a challenge to update my blog regularly due to our hectic schedule and limited access to technology. It is probably better writing this now after a week of being back and having some time to reflect on the magnitude of the events that took place.

Little did we realise, that the first few meetings that I wrote about last time was just the beginning of what would be a unanimous response from everybody we met up with - from politicians, to business people, to educationalists, to pastors, media, lawyers and your local everyday citizen alike! Everyone we spoke to about the vision to bring national reform to Tonga in absolutely every sector of life, totally agreed, supported and even voiced their hope and belief that David would be the right person to bring such reform.

Tonga right now is in a very critical condition where it is poised to either become the paradise of prosperity with every dream, hope and promise being fulfilled and manifested; or become the uttermost forsaken land of devastation, poverty and chaos. The path that Tonga chooses next will truly determine its future. Travelling back from Tonga, I felt a huge burden in my spirit for the nation as I literally saw a glimpse of what it would become if something was not done now to prevent such chaos, devastation and destruction taking place there. This vision emboldened within me even more the desire to lay everything down so that God could use us to bring reformation to a nation according to His will and desire. Death never seemed so sweet!

Right now, people are still hearing David on their radio's and seeing him on their televisions in Tonga as all the major television stations are replaying his interviews and speaking that were recorded while we were there. Even while back in Australia, we have an opportunity to be televised weekly on one of the main television stations there, as well as a weekly column in one of the major newspapers - the Taimi Tonga. This has presented a great avenue for us to continue to speak to the nation about national reform, and bring more clarity to the vision that God has given us. We have also started the groundwork to form a new political party to enter the elections for next year, and we are continually seeking God for the details of His plan and will as we enter deeper into this new phase for our lives and calling.

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......
