17th August - The Departure -

Well, where do I began or should I say? End? Kuwait is right in the centre of my heart..it is where I revolve in and the place I believe God will move so powerfully! 17th July was finally here and I could not believe it myself..neither could my mom..my precious mom.

Thanks to a brother in Christ, Manoj (the benefits of working for the King!) I was able to take like 15 extra kilos on my flight. Taking 30 kilos is absolute injustice especially when you are moving to Australia.

Yea, that’s right moving, for those of you who know my story about Australia, how I believe that a revival so strong in going to happen there. For the past 8 years I have been praying for that nation and finally this year, when I was just beginning to stretch my legs and hands when it came to ministry, the Lord tells me..PACK your bags and leave! The obedience of Abraham..atleast I knew where I was going..but actually not! In the spiritual realm, I had no clue..but I knew one thing..I would have the nations for my inheritance!

At the airport, my folks, family, sis, hubby and SOG (some of the youths I have had the privilege to mentor) were there. I used the word privilege guys, it means you guys need to walk in what you are called! It was intense, yes, faisal too, my faithful buddy in all things was there, with a caramel machiatto in his hands for me..I haven’t had Starbucks coffee for the past 1.5 months since that faisal, so Good on you!

As we departed I had a letter for each of my loved ones, dad and mom, sis and her hubby and faisal. The Sog boys, prepared this HUGE card for me, with an awesome pic of me ad their love notes to me.

Bahrain

I first flew into Bahrain, where I needed to wait for 2 hours! I started fishing for my souls…I went to this guy who was serving coffee. I ordered a cup and then started sharing the gospel..I hope he took it! In Jesus name he did!

Abu Dhabi

Upon arrival at Abu Dhabi, which in my opinion is the worst airport I have ever been to in all my travelling (Sorry if you are from Abu Dhabi), I was greeted by Neil, who had flown in direct from Kuwait. We somehow got placed at the first class lounge, which in no ways I could categorise as first class, though neil and his brother had other reasons why to liked it.

Singapore


After a flight that felt like forever, we reached Singapore. I called my folks…who now went through 2 days of no Alwyn and 1.5 days of no news about me…confirming to them that I am well and good..at Singapore airport. I also got in touch with Junia Choo, a close brother and a coordinator for the ministry at Singapore. It was great talking and praying and sharing about what the Lord was doing.

I arrived Brisbane on 19th July, 8 :30 am…As soon as I arrived the spiritual atmosphere just grabbed me..I believe I have been walking in a different realm of faith and lifestyle since being here. Being positioned at locations also has a different working of God’s anointing and power.
