Maduku Mamata was born on a tiny speck of land in the Solomon Islands, a pacific archipelago that is known as much for its desperate financial state as its outstanding natural beauty.
From growing up and helping his parents with their subsistence farming, to losing them at a young age and attending school to make sure he would be able to make his own way in the world, Maduku weaves an intricate story of how he ended up in Brisbane, attending college there to better his life.
Deported Into Destiny is a story of hardship, a desperation to make things better for one’s self and for others, as well as lessons learned the hard way. But it is also an enduring story of love and of doors opening when you least expect them to. This is a story of salvation amidst the wreckage of a single mistake and of hope triumphing eventually over adversity.

Having a vision is like a billboard. Years ago when I attended high school, I used to walk to school. And I walked past this patch of bush. Trees, rocks. Some time went by, I walked past the patch and chainsaws and a bulldozer was clearing the place. Few weeks later, I walked past the place and their was a billboard with apartments, the landscape with parking lot finished, with little people standing underneath the shade. And on the top were these words "COMING SOON!!!". And on the bottom was written, "NOW RENTING," you can call, and they put the contact details there. This is awesome! This is amazing! That is what a vision is like. They got the end finished in mind, then they back up and start building. Why did they build? Because they already got the end finished on the billboard. Why most young people, or even some adults couldn't build? Because they haven't finished yet in their mind. There is no finished billboard put on the walls of their heart. You cannot build until you finished. I'm almost finished with something for our young men and women who drop out of Primary school, high school or even college. Do you have a billboard? Those with kids?
