Injinoo
* Attendance: 160
* Decisions: 13
Jesaia – Just as we were starting the show, about four beats into the opening dance, the lights went out and we lost all power. The power came back on and the dance started a second time, but the power went off again at the same point. Finally, when the lights came back on they were able to continue on with the dance, but we were so fired up that this was a battle that we were in.
Tim – One of the men that came forward was an older man who was struggling with alcohol and having a hard time. As he was talking, he was fighting back tears and Ale actually thanked him for coming forward and representing the Fathers in Injinoo. We found out later that he was one of the village elders. The other older person was a lady, and she was an elder as well. So, they were taking a stand
Ryan – Noticed that one of the girls that brought up a couple younger ones was a girl that the DTS team last year had spent a lot of time with ministering to. It was cool to see her influencing her peers and it was evidence that we are making a difference.
Tim & Mena - Aesia felt like they should make up a dance to the song “Amazing Love” and he and Mena had talked about even back in Townsville. Aesia felt like he should do this dance and song for Injinoo. They put the dance together and after talking to the pastor, they found out that there was a plane crash here four years ago and during that time, this song was really important in ministering to people as they grieved the loss of lives. Aesia and Meesi performed the dance and it was amazing because the presence of the Lord was so strong and you could feel it comforting people.
David – Had some pain in his hamstring and after the team prayed for him, he didn’t feel any pain during the performance.
Peita – We had a couple of kids come up who wanted Bibles, so Julie and I sat down with them and shared the Gospel with them and gave them one, but before we finished, another group of kids came up wanting Bibles. Pretty soon, we were sharing with groups of kids to help them understand the importance of what’s written in the book.

Michelle Tawoy – I was crying tonight because I know the story of one of the girls that came forward. She is the daughter of a pastor, but she has fallen away and for many years been doing the wrong things. I know she was serious because she walked forward in front of everyone.
Jennifer Murphy = One lady came forward and was really grateful because she had been reading her Bible and praying and stuff, but her Church never gave her a chance to go forward and recommit her life, but she had been wanting to for a long time. So, she kept thanking us for coming so that she could come forward.
Alaphate’ – It was my first time to do the water bottle and as I put it on the block, I lost control of it, but the air didn’t go out for some reason, but it popped instead.
Some of the M3 girls were walking a couple boys home and they were cute with their Bibles and kept saying, “Missy missy, you know I can pray and he will keep us safe.” “Missy, missy, you know we can pray and He can heal us.”
Peita – God was touching the people out in the audience as we were performing, but a neat thing was that God had spoken to the team before the night and most of the team was in tears just as God ministered to us.
Jeff – He was just aware as he was putting his routine together that he was thinking about what he would do. He suddenly had the understanding that it wasn’t about him at all, it was all about the people and them coming to know
Christ.
Lynn – Julie prayed for my ear and it is getting better. A young man came up and asked me to pray for his ankle he had twisted during the gripper. We believe that God is going to take us to a new level in healing.
Suli – Julie had given us a Word that we were to demonstrate the Father heart of God. The Lord directed me to a couple women who looked like a daughter and I asked if I could pray for them. She said yes. I asked where their husbands were, but they said that he had left them. It became clear to me that they had been hurt by this, but it gave me a chance to explain that God can be a Father to them.
Shey – was talking to three girls and they were talking about their family life. As they were talking about what happened to their Father, one of the younger ones said that he had drunk poison. Shey spoke to them “God knows what is going on inside of your heart and he wants to be a Father to you and he has his arms stretched out reaching to you.” Again, God was
