Let me be strong enough to protect them, she prayed. Let me be strong enough not to fall.

"E pala ma'a, a le pala upu' Even stones decay but words endure 🌺 🌺 I was at a crossroads professionally towards the end of 2017, a dear friend reached out and gave me a lifeline. That lifeline re-connected me with old Uni friends #PSFC #UoAAlumni, it also introduced me to a new industry whose ethos to serve our Pacific Communities in Aotearoa was at the core of ALL they do. To see it first hand, well just know that there are a small but mighty team fighting for the greater good for our Pacific peoples in the government. I will miss the conversations on various topics from politics, art, music, fashion, goals and aspirations; the daily banter between my desk neighbors, the sing alongs to DJ @marytiumalu playlists with Jae's verbrato in the background, the cheeky laughs from @kenboi_hipa, @emilymuli & Chief #silentassasins, the afrikaans corner, the sound of the fijian language being spoken (it actually sounds like singing when Yara speaks), and the adhoc visits from Dunkin Donuts & Krispy Kremes😆 🌺 🌺 A pleasure to serve alongside you @aiolupoteaaionosina, know that your kindness, generosity and the risk you took to take me on will never be forgotten by me and my family. Feiloai atili rather than a Tofā Soifua💛

Team strengthens relationship between PSCF Fiji and TSCF

The team, from left, included Riven, Caesar, Chris, Kate, Michael, Becky, Christina and Annelise.

Bula vinaka.

In December I was part a TSCF Fiji cultural trip along with other university students and Lincoln-based staff Chris and Kate. We partnered with TSCF’s sister organization Pacific Students for Christ, who did an awesome job of planning and organizing our two-week stay in Suva.

In the first week we split up and were billeted with Fijian families. I was blown away by the hospitality of my hosts, who were joyful and generous. I joined the engineering campus’ Christian Fellowship executive meeting as they planned for that week’s fellowship, and saw how similar this was to the meetings I am part of at Lincoln University Christian Fellowship. On Sunday I was invited to my host family’s church. It was difficult to understand the sermon and singing as it was in Fijian, but I saw their passion for God’s word.

During the second week we all came back together and stayed at a campground next to an orphanage, St Christopher’s Home for Children, along with several Fijian students. We helped run evening Bible studies for the children at the orphanage, and built and painted fences around the property. I also went to a men’s prison with an Australian man who runs a week-long course for inmates focusing on dealing with trauma. Lastly we went to Homes of Hope, which offers a place to stay for teenage mothers and women who are at risk of sexual abuse.

One moment that left a lasting impact was hearing the children sing at the orphanage. That first night they had prepared a few worship songs to sing with us. Those 20-30 children were louder and more passionate than many churches filled with hundreds of people, mics and speakers. Tears came to my eyes after I got over the initial shock of the pure joy that these kids sang with. I wasn’t the only member of the team with tears in their eyes. I aspire to having such sincere joy in my worship to God.

TSCF has long supported PSFC’s work, and I enjoyed being able to see how this support is helping change lives. By hosting a team from Fiji at SPARC 2016 and sending our own team to Fiji, we are building a strong relationship between the organisations and growing young men and women in Christ across the Pacific. I long to see the work of PSFC continue to be supported, so that when the next team goes they will be able to witness how God has used our faithfulness to grow his kingdom.
