Welcome

Welcome to the PTEC Blog. We are a multicultural group of mainly young people from across the Pacific who have much in common. Like the children of Israel we move from venue to venue for our worship meetings. Set up in the late 1970's this congregation began with about 10 members and has grown to approximately two hundred members.

Originally known as the University Church, it took on the new branding and identity following plans to build a church where programmes could be expanded to include more vigorous campus ministry activities and pastoral care for students who have left their regional homes across the Pacific to get a qualification. The congregation is currently pastored by Talatala Joe Talemaitoga. He is also the Chaplain for the Adventist Students Association Fiji wide and although the PTEC church takes up much of his time, he also works with students studying at other tertiary institutions across Viti Levu.

PTEC is a youthful, vibrant congregation of South Pacific and Fijian students who are in Suva to study at tertiary institutions, such as the University of the South Pacific, Fiji School of Medicine and Fiji Institute of Technology.

Our mission theme for this year is: "Grow Curious, Grow Together and Grow in God".

60 minutes with Jesus

 


PTEC's Week of Prayer on the theme, "The Leader: Jesus" was launched last night by final year student, Asaeli Vateitei who spoke on the topic: "The Expert".  The overall gist of the message was focussed on a quote taken from Christ Object Lesson (p.333), “If placed under the control of His Spirit, the more thoroughly the intellect is cultivated, the more effectively it can be used in the service of God.”. This was very apt for the students who attended the session given the fact that they are all studying at tertiary institutions to gain a qualification for the workforce in the Pacific. Asaeli challenged everyone on this critically apt quote which would no doubt have registered in many of the minds and hearts of our members who were present. Tonight's message will be taken by I-Kiribati student, Ioabo Krisiano and his topic will be: "The Gifts". It will be held at N111 at 8pm.
