Starling Murmurations

​​The Holy Spirit literally sent us knocking on the door of David, Unireach. What are the chances! 1 in 2. 2 million!

 This happened last week and is a late post but I wanted to share another amazing divine appointment set up by the Holy Spirit for us here in Perth, Australia. Another starling murmuration moment! (Starlings are small birds that fly in a flock of thousands and tens of thousands; and they are able to keep an amazing distance from each other in perfect formation and coordination! (Watch this beautiful video of starling murmuration on the right)

Last Thursday early morning at 4 am, I was awoken by a dream. In one part of the dream, Jason and I arrived at 1 particular empty plot of land which I had recognised from our online search from thousands of available land/house for sale. (We had sold our house, moved to Perth end of 1st week of April following the Lord's leading, which is also a fulfilment of a prophecy which we received 10 years ago which we did not do anything about but had allowed God to orchestrate everything; and only since January this year we concretised our plans to be in Perth). So we headed out that afternoon to that plot.

When we arrived and got out of our car to recce the area, we saw a car drive into the neighbouring house. So we approached him and asked him how living is like in that area. He said he's not the owner but he's giving piano lessons to a kid of the owner of the house. 
So he said, "let me ask the owner to come out."

The owner came out and he introduced himself as David and we started chatting. Through our conversation, we realised he's a fellow believer and is the brother of an acquaintance of ours, Jordan, whom we are supposed to meet in week 1 here!(We had met Jordan briefly before in Singapore through another organic church meeting and he and his family moved back to Perth 6 months ago from Maldives). David was not supposed to be home that early but because he had caught the movie Avengers earlier with Jordan so he came home early from work!

Talk about a "starling moment" ..

If Jason and i had arrived any minute earlier or later, we would not have met the piano teacher and then the brother of our friend!
It turned out that he previously had a work experience recruiting students for one of the universities here and had also helped many foreign students for job placements and now is running his own migration service business called Unireach!

Uni students have been on our hearts and is one of the people groups God's called us to reach and disciple here. In fact before leaving Singapore, discipling uni students to disciple others has been a big part of my ministry for the past 25 years of my journey with Jesus since I came to Christ at 18. And when Jason and i were introduced to Neil Cole 6 years ago, our disciple-making strategy was "upgraded" from discipling-one-to-disciple-another, to identifying persons of peace to disciple missional communities with kingdom DNA(in short explanation, its Divine Truth - 1st commandment, Nurturing Relationships - 2nd commandment, Apostolic mission - the Great commission Matt28:18-20) - see picture from one of Neil's trainings we hosted in Singapore recently in April.

Just 2 days after, I bumped into David AGAIN and his whole family at one of the malls! So he became even more open and intentional to meet up and we all did just that yesterday! This is the beginning of something more for God's kingdom purposes.
​
Please pray with us for His kingdom to continue to come and His will be done! We hope to see a disciple-making movement released here for our King Jesus!

Updates Mar 2023 : David became our family's migration agent and he worked on our visas and submitted an application in 2021and to-date our visas are still in process.
