Fiji: a real
revival
"How can you explain to people who have never experienced a true revival
what it is like to have an open heaven - a situation in which prayers are
answered almost as fast as they are spoken?" asks Dr. Kevin Dyson, Deacon
at New Covenant International (NCI), a theological seminary in the USA.
"One way would be to take them to Fiji," he answers. "Fiji is one of the nations which God
is currently blessing in an unusual manner."
No certificate without planting a church
"13 years ago, NCI began working with Christian Mission Fellowship, a
national church movement led by pastor Suliasi Kurolo," writes Dyson.
"Since then, 1,200 students have completed theological studies. 87 new
churches have been planted, three new Bible schools founded, and missions
projects in 16 Pacific nations started. At the most recent graduation, 18 new pastors were ordained, which is
not possible until they each have a church with at least 50 adult members. In
addition, we blessed 83 new church planters, who aim to plant 62 new churches in
the next 12 months."
Cancer patient healed in hospital
"Listening to these church planters is like reading a new edition of Acts.
We heard of people being raised from the dead, invalids who can walk again,
blind who can now see, deaf who can hear and dumb who can now speak, as well as
many new believers in the Kingdom of God," he reports. "One Hindu
woman, for example, was in Fiji's main hospital, suffering from terminal cancer. Her family was
gathered around her as a Bible school student came by, visiting the patients. He
was not only able to explain the gospel to the whole family, but also prayed for the woman's healing. The woman was healed, along with others who were
healed of deafness and dumbness. In response, 22 Hindus decided to become
Christians. The government has asked NCI to develop a program for the High
Schools based on Biblical values, as politicians saw God's power transforming
young people and old. It is clearly a true, observable and lasting
revival," says Dyson.
