Greetings!
Wow! 
I got an amazing email from Willy Florian, Station Manager of Letio Faka-Kalisitiane 93FM, our radio station in Tonga . . .
Willy's amazing email from Tonga . . .
"As if Jesus is just about to come in the morning!"

Hi Graham, Willy is Station Manager of 93FM, Tonga
I would like to share few testimonies of what God is doing here in Tonga. Last night i have a normal programe from 8pm to 10pm, and something unusual happens.
I was sharing from the story of the bleeding women who touch Jesus by faith and Jaris whom God raised his daughter to life.

This story touches the listeners that the presence of God was so strong at the Radio and through out the Kingdom.People begun to share on-air of how they are being blessed by the word. Graham tears was shed from every listners. There were no time for music as the phone rings one after another.

People shared that they were awaken while sleeping and something just promt them to turn the radio and the programe went all the way to 1.00am in the morning. Young people asked forgiveness to all the elders on air, people prayed on air after they hear someone who shared any of their struggle without me asking them. Drunkers call in weeping and asking waht shall they do.

Graham i cant even hold my tears. MY wife was listning that she even call me and ask what is happening to the people, she havent seen anything like this before, and it was as if Jesus is just about to come in the morning.

Graham when people cry it was not a normal cry it comes from the heart that stirs another listners to weep. I just cant explain this experiance, students studying for exam end up sharing that God speaks to them that they just can't go on studying but just weep as the presence of God was so strong in their place.

I think about more than 100 people call and most of them are their very first time to call and shared on air , young people just weep and weep and weep and mothers cried as they listen to the young people sharing asking God to touch them and fathers you cant hear them clearly as they tried to hide their tears.

Graham it was amazing.
It was like the people of Tonga is coming for repentence.
Oh Graham i have to stop here because i cried as i write.

PLEASE TELL THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WHO IS PRAYING FOR TONGA THAT THEIR PRAYED HAS BEEN ANSWERD AND IT IS JUST THE BEGINING
HALLELUAH

I've read it through many times, but
I still choke up as I read Willy's email
I can't help but think of a couple of Bible verses about this.
  • "For when we brought you the Good News, it was not only with words but also with power, for the Holy Spirit gave you full assurance that what we said was true. . . " (1 Thessalonians 1:5a)
  • "So the message about the Lord spread widely and had a powerful effect." (Acts 19:20).
This has been our prayer and deep desire for many hard years.
And I believe it's the beginning of something the Lord has twice promised us
over the past 20 years of pioneering radio work in the Islands
Will you please
Pray
for our national workers in Tonga. Pray for wisdom and encouragement (yes, there is some criticism from some local ministers). Pray especially for Willy while Loni takes a break from ministry after getting married last month.
And pray for the Lord to continue His supernatural work in the hearts of our radio listeners. Not just in Tonga but throughout the South Pacific Islands. 

Would you also
Email a short message of encouragement to Willy and the team at Letio Faka-Kalisitiane 93FM. Please tell them you're praying for them 
And would you please
Consider making a donation
to help this fruitful work of the Lord in the Islands 
Even so, come Lord Jesus!
Visit the Islands and the people who are so hungry for you!
I will let you know what happens in Tonga.
