4th of June - Monday, leaving for Suva 

As we prepared to depart from Lautoka we had one final monday mornin base worship with our YWAM Lautoka friends. We then spent the day travellin to Suva where we met our contacts Pastor David and Pastor Ted, and settled into our new home at the Faith Fellowship Church. We now plan to head to the Island on the 14th, and spend a week there. We will be the first Christian Missionaries to ever visit the village. 

Tuesday, we spent the day praying for people at the hospital. Several people were healed, including a man who previously couldn’t move due to a stroke, and a woman who also couldn’t speak due to a stroke. These times have been really important encouragements to the team, and just show us how powerful God really is. We also spent an hour with Pastor Eli and his congregation praying. 

On Wednesday the boys were able to go do prison ministry, and were given a full hour in the cells to preach to the prisoners about whatever was on their hearts. This was a great opportunity, and they all enjoyed having the freedom to speak about what God was doing in their lives and try and connect with the prisoners. Whilst the boys were at the prison, the girls were invited to the house of a family who had two demon posessed daughters that the church was praying for. The girls are unable to attend school as one would always pass out and be unable to continue studying, and the other felt pains in her hands and feet, like that of needles, whenever she even contemplated studying. We prayed for the girs, but the demons refused to leave. We were still encouraged by the faith this family had and the strength they showed, regardless of their situation. 

In the evening we all headed down to the beach where the boys enjoyed a game of football with the pastors, and we had a barbeque. We also had the opportunity to hear Pastor David’s testimony, a Hindu convert to Christianity.  

Thursday, we spent the day at the most beautiful beach in Fiji, and then went to a local house where we had the opportunity to worship and pray with the people Pastor David and Ted had invited. Again, many with bad backs, legs and eyes were healed, which continued to encourage the team. We are planning to return on Monday to pray for more people and share the gospel with them. 

Finally, Friday, our most busy day, we went and prayed for a family in one of the poorer areas of Fiji. What amazed us most was their faith in amidst their struggles. Due to the discernment of the patriarch of the family, they all cancelled their plans for the day and awaited our arrival as he felt in the spirit that someone was coming from the Church. We 

were able to assist God in the healing of the Grandmother, Grandfather and daughters of the house. In the evening we led the church service, and the family with the two posessed daughters also attended. The demon began to manifest mid-service and some of the team were able to help deliver her. This was an amazing chance to see God’s divinity and power. Please pray for the family that this demon does not return, as it has been cast out before but returned. The team were still in very high spirits however! We were also able to perform one of our skits, and lead a time of prayer for the congregation. 

We are very much enjoying our time in Fiji, and although it may be tiring at times, the way in which God is moving so much and so much at work continues to keep us going. 

Please pray for the Khan family and their daughters, please pray for Pastor David’s ministry, particularily for it’s Hindu outreach and pray for our teams continued health - Katie is currently suffering from a kidney infection, but is staying strong, and we have some nasty infections that in lingering in cuts! 

Thank you, and we appreciate your prayers for the team! God Bless, Fijippines.
