UPDATE AND MISSION TRIP TO AOTEAROA (May 11th - May 26th)

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Is. 60:1)

Dear friends and partners,

As you know, we went to Easter Island (Rapa Nui) in April 2015 and soon after that we were to consider the call of God for the Polynesian Triangle. We are now getting ready for a new adventure to another corner of that Triangle... Stay tuned!

VISITING MINISTRIES SINCE JANUARY 2016
Since January 2016, we hosted many ministries and have enjoyed their impact. A major portion of our ministry consists of coordinating the schedule of ministries from out of the country or just hosting them in our premises.

1. A YWAM team from Quebec (Canada) of about 10 students (out of a Discipleship Training School) came over to our ministry house in Moorea for roughly 5 weeks since the beginning of the year and was a real blessing to the whole island there. They were invited to minister in other parts of the island and did make a difference in some people's lives. This was actually the second YWAM team hosted in that house since last year and a third team will be staying there very soon.

2. For 10 short days in January 2016, we coordinated the fourth consecutive visit of our friend Pierre-Daniel Martin (prophet from France). The team of pastor Christian Whaap from New Caledonia came this year too for one week along with an amazing troop of Melanesian dancers and a worship leader who stayed at our house. This Caledonian team accompanied the French prophet on the islands of Raiatea and Moorea for a strong impact on a number of people who received healing and God's love through the prophetic. Prior to those islands, Pierre-Daniel was able to visit the island of Rangiroa for the first time and release God's Word for this island and its destiny in Him. Toward the end of his stay, Pierre-Daniel held a seminar that gave a clear picture of the times we are in in God's master plan for the nations and how the islands are being raised up for the end times.

3. We also participated in co-hosting a team of the King's Kids from Switzerland in the course of February that had been touring the South Pacific for a few months. Their ministry focus was the family and how God wants to bring healing, restoration and His shalom into the broken lives of Polynesian families. Their ministry time was cut short with the unexpected death of a relative of the team's leader. His family was to leave quickly back to Europe to attend to the needs of the bereaved family members. We trust that the Lord will bring more ministries that will focus on the need of shattered families ...

A REMARKABLE EMPHASIS ON INTERCESSION
We are so amazed by the call of pastors Gary and Maureen Guardacosta who came to French Polynesia all the way from Alberta (Canada) in order to obey the call of Abba to stand in the gap for the island of Moorea. Their story is phenomenal and we are so happy about their contribution with great teaching about our identity in Christ and as they ministered inner healing and deliverance for 4 weeks in Moorea--at the ministry house--over a number of people during the month of February 2016. Below is just a quote of their own experience and understanding:

"We recently spent a month in Moorea and Tahiti partnering with Edualdo and Aline in Vision of the Harvest. Six years ago God asked us (a couple of Canadians from the frozen north) to participate with Him in His redemptive work in the South Pacific. As we prayed into this situation to discern His plan and strategy for the region and our part in it, He began to reveal additional information over time. ...

We were witnesses to an amazing amount of divine intervention and fruit of the Spirit compressed into a short time frame. There is a growing consensus about the need to ask God to rebuke and expel the evil spirits that have held sway over the region for so long. God’s Spirit is hovering over the islands and calling His people back to Himself.

There is a major effort underway for believers to network and unite in the Triangle to come against the enemy in a concerted way. We will watch with joyful anticipation as the process unfolds, and we stand together in prayer with Edualdo and Aline as they move forward to spearhead this effort.

The Polynesian Islands have a great destiny in God’s plan to bring heaven to earth in the region, and for His word to once again move out from there to “Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth”. Praise Him for seeking each one of us out for His redemptive purposes. "

Our call to stand in the gap has not stopped since we heard we were to commit to a time of intercession three times a week for two hours each time beginning in April 2015. That time has turned into a delightful necessity for our lives and has caused so much more efficiency and less toil along with more peace and joy. Spirit led prayers cause our lives and our thinking to be more into alignment with God's perfect will. We do spend also significant time in listening to the Spirit of God, praying or praising in the Spirit and allowing Abba to bring issues that need to be prayed for or repented from. Gary and Maureen were also instrumental in specifically training a few believers and helped with the setting up of a weekly intercessory group in Moorea.
  

MISSION AOTEAROA (NEW ZEALAND) -- MAY 12th-26th
In a few days we are off to go to the land of the "long white cloud" (meaning of Aotearoa in Māori). It is actually the Polynesian name presumably given by those who first discovered New Zealand. The story of migrations traces the first people to have settled there from "a region in East Polynesia which Māori later called Hawaiki" around or after 1,000 AD. It just so happens that Hawaiki is the ancient name of the island of Raiatea considered to be the cradle of Polynesian culture and languages located in the Society Islands which include Tahiti. Furthermore, the Māori language and culture are closely related to the other Polynesian islands. Aotearoa is thus definitely connected to the so called "Polynesian Triangle".

As it stands, we are now soon embarking for this new venture with 14 of us going from 3 different locations : Tahiti, Hawaii and California. Unfortunately, the delegation from Easter Island (Rapa Nui) will not be able to come at this time. We believe that this God-ordained mission will bring about significant results and we would like to invite you to join in with your prayers and support (see below).

OUR MISSION TO AOTEAROA IN SHORT
- Listen up to the hearts of the people of the land and receive understanding from Holy Spirit
- Open up spiritual highways and establish sound connections with Aotearoa
- Be the "breach repairers" we are supposed to be
- Make our contribution in love, prayer, and action as the Lord leads (especially among the Maori communities)
- Release the Kingdom of God through prayer & worship, prophetic acts, proclamations, repentance, arts, teaching, etc.
- Create bonds of love and unity of heart and mind with the believers of the island
- Share the vision of the Polynesian Triangle in God's perspective among Christian communities of Aotearoa.

SIGNIFICANCE OF "ASUZA NOW" IN L.A.
Somehow, I see a connection between our trip to Aotearoa and what happened on April 9th, 2016 in Los Angeles to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the Azusa Street revival. An article by Lana Vawser*, who received a prophetic insight into what happened there, stuck out to me and gives me great hope for what we will probably experience to some extent in New Zealand:

"... He spoke to me about the PROPHETIC PICTURE that Azusa Now was to the nations. A picture of the UNITY that He is bringing to His body that is releasing FIRE TO THE NATIONS!!!! He is birthing reconciliation, redemption and revival FROM the place of UNITY. Instantly I am taken into a vision, and I see the people of God in ALL the nations across the earth beginning to "join together" in whatever form that takes, crying out to the Lord, moving forward in repentance, being woven together by the love of God IN ONE ACCORD, the Lord is birthing greater MOVEMENTS of PRAYER and UNITY all across the world and it is increasing SIGNIFICANTLY in this season. From people meeting together in houses, to stadiums and everything in between, the Lord is bringing UNITY. The Holy Spirit is leading His people in this season to really deal with past hurts, any divisions and moving forward in repentance and forgiveness that is being birthed from the place of encountering His love. ..."
