In the Great Southern Land of Australia, God is moving in quiet, powerful ways. Recently, Peter and Katie Dunstan from Derek Prince Ministries Australia, together with local pastors and Indigenous leaders, embarked on a mission that took them 7,700 kilometers (nearly 5,000 miles) across some of the most remote and arid desert lands of the continent. They traveled from New South Wales, across the vast emptiness of the Nullarbor Plains, through South Australia, and into Western Australia, driven by a conviction to bring the light of Christ to places that are far off the beaten path, where few go but where the need is great.
This wasn’t just a road trip; it was a calling that carried them to communities where life can be tough, and faith feels like something raw and real. In Kalgoorlie, they joined with a local church—just a small group of believers, really—who are holding their ground in a place where hope can sometimes feel thin. Here, the Dunstans found themselves at the M25 Shed Ministry, a small outreach working to meet the needs of people living on the margins. Many of these folks are Indigenous, displaced by mining, often overlooked or forgotten. Yet in this shed, where hot meals and a few simple comforts are provided, something much deeper was happening.
Peter and Katie handed out DPM booklets, sat with people, listened to their stories, and shared the Word. For many, it was the first time they had heard the Gospel presented in a way that felt close and relevant. And as they prayed together, they began to see lives touched in ways that only God can orchestrate. Words of prophecy were spoken, and prayers for healing were offered. It felt like the Spirit was moving, almost quietly, but powerfully, among those who had come looking for more than just a meal.
A breakthrough in Australia, a spiritual breakthrough, would be a remarkable event. And, I believe it’s coming.

Derek Prince once said, “A breakthrough in Australia, a spiritual breakthrough, would be a remarkable event. And, I believe it’s coming.” Out there in the shed, with the sound of life happening all around them, Peter and Katie felt the truth of those words. It was as if they were witnessing the first glimmers of that breakthrough—small, perhaps, but unmistakable.
One of the local leaders at M25 suggested starting a Bible study group—a small step, maybe, but a new one for this place. And suddenly, there was a sense of excitement, an openness to dive deeper into the Scriptures. The DPM resources were no longer just booklets; they were seeds being planted in good soil, taking root in ways no one had quite anticipated.
From Kalgoorlie, Peter and Katie headed north to Morapoi Aboriginal Station. Here, under a wide-open sky, they gathered around a campfire, sharing the message of God’s love for the brokenhearted. They talked with Indigenous leaders like Pastor Geoffrey, who felt a new sense of calling, a fresh touch from the Holy Spirit. These moments were raw and unfiltered—conversations that went deep, prayers that felt urgent.
And then there was Leonora, where the church was packed with people who had traveled from far and wide—some from hundreds of kilometers away. There, they spoke about the Cross, the ultimate exchange, and the response was immediate. People came forward, some for healing, others to receive the Holy Spirit, many simply wanting to know more. It felt like a gathering charged with divine possibility, like God was up to something new in the old red dirt.
When it was time to head home, Peter and Katie felt they were leaving with more than they had brought. They had seen God at work—in the prayers whispered in the dark, in the healing hands laid on the broken, in the simple act of sharing a booklet that might be a lifeline to someone seeking truth.
They knew this was just the beginning. There was more to come, more stories unfolding, more breakthroughs on the horizon. In places where the light sometimes seems dim, they sensed God was ready to shine bright, through His Word, His Spirit, and His people.
