A South Pacific Regional Missions Consultation was held in Suva, Fiji,
in December 1989 under the umbrella of the World Evangelical Fellowship
(WEF). Rev Michael Maeliau of the South Seas Evangelical Church of the
Solomon Islands and Dr Ray Windsor of NZ who represented the Pacific on the
World Evangelical Fellowship's Mission Commission organised this event. The
speakers included Dr John Hitchen from New Zealand, who is an authority on the
history of Christian Missions in the Pacific region, Dr Joshua Daimoi of PNG and
Dr Theodore Williams representing the WEF. The real purpose and challenge out
of this meeting was to see more mission activity out of the region, especially
from the Pacific Islands, who had been very active in Christian Missions in the
past. The meeting was also a time of reconciliation, healing and building
of relationships within the South Pacific. One of the things that came out of
this meeting was the need for a Regional Prayer movement that started two years
later in 1991, in the Solomon Islands.
The Pacific Prayer Assembly has also being following the Deep Sea Canoe
Vision outlining the move of God's glory from the ends of the earth back to
Jerusalem for it's official launching to the world. The Cloud of the glory from
Jerusalem will cover the earth as the waters cover the seas, bringing forth the
Latter Rain Harvest before the end of the age, for the glory of God.
Pacific Prayer Assembly Movement
This annual Prayer
Assembly started in the Solomon Islands in 1991 under the name of the 'South
Pacific Prayer Assembly' (SPPA).
The name was changed to
the "All Pacific Prayer Assembly" - (APPA) in Vanuatu in 2003 to include the
whole Pacific. The Lord's desire is for every nation in the Pacific to host its
own annual national Prayer Assembly. The Lord also wants the South Pacific to
embrace Micronesia and Hawaii in this movement, because God sees the Pacific as
one region and family including all Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia.
During the 7th All Pacific Prayer Assembly in Pasadena, CA,
USA in July 2009, the Lord told us that the next APPA in 2010 will no longer be
the 'All Pacific Prayer Assembly', but 'All Peoples Prayer
Assembly'. We believe the 1st All Peoples Prayer Assembly will be in
the USA in 2010.
I saw a valley before me. Very soon the valley began
to be filled with flowing water. It developed into a
flood. The water was crystal clear. There was no dirt
or object in the water. The flood came to a dam and
the valley began to be filled with water until it became
a beautiful lake with a bluish green colour.
Scene 2: SOUTH PACIFIC
As the dam was completely filled with water it overflowed
its brink. As the water overflowed its brink, it changed
into a mist floating away like a cloud. At that point
of time, a map of the whole world came into the scene.
The cloud floated from the Solomon Islands to Australia
and back once. Then the cloud floated eastward to the
Nations in the South Pacific region, then south to New
Zealand, then west to Australia and then north to Papua
New Guinea.
Scene 3: THE AMERICAS
As the cloud got to Papua New Guinea, it changed into
a three pronged powerful current, which seemed like
that which is caused by a high speed boat, but without
the actual boat. This powerful current headed straight
eastward towards the West Coast of the United States
of America. As it hit the USA, the centre current continued
on towards the East Coast of the United States of America.
The southern current turned south and headed for the
South Pole. The northern current turned north and headed
for the North Pole.
Scene 4: THE WORLD
As the centre reached the East Coast of America, it
turned around 180 degrees and developed into a great
big mighty tidal wave that stretched from the North
Pole to the South Pole. The tidal wave then rolled back
and traveled westward. It was so great that it covered
all the Nations in its course and so high that it covered
even the highest mountain of the earth, Mt Everest.
It covered everything in its path as it moved over the
Pacific and Asia. As the southern tip came into the
Indian Ocean, it curved around and headed up into the
Arabian Gulf and then it stood still there. The northern
arm kept rolling over Eastern Europe, then onto Western
Europe, and then around and over the whole continent
of Africa. The northern tip of the wave encircled the
continent of Africa until it came to South Africa; it
went straight to link up with the southern tip that
had been waiting in the Arabian Gulf, forming a perfect
circle with Israel in the centre.
Scene 5: ISRAEL
As the circle was now complete, the wave zoomed in on
Jerusalem from all sides. As the waves met in Jerusalem
it shot up into the heavens like a great mighty pillar
of water and cloud. As it reached deep into the sky,
it opened up like a great big mushroom that gradually
spread until it enveloped the whole earth. At that point,
a voice came out from the cloud saying "And the
Glory of the Lord shall cover the Earth as the waters
cover the Sea". With that the vision ended.
