Mission 193 – Tonga
On our way home from Australia we factored in a 3-day stop-over in the Kingdom of Tonga, which would enable us to “do” a Mission 193 visit. While walking around the capital of Nuku’alofa with our Lonely Planet guide in hand, we noticed on the map there was a small dot marked “Mt. Zion” just behind the Royal Palace, which turned out to be a rather insignificant hill with a radio mast on the top, but decided that it would be a symbolic place from where to read prophetic scriptures over the nation of Tonga and pray for wisdom for the King who would be crowned a few weeks later.
The next day we went to the palace office to investigate the possibility of an audience with the King and were directed to another building down the road to speak with the Lord Chamberlain. We explained the nature of our visit, and the Lord Chamberlain asked if we would give the Bibles to her, promising to present them to the King, together with the letter, during her next audience with him.
