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".

Power-up: 60 minutes with Jesus - "The Gifts"

Tuesday evening's worship was led by Ioabo Krisiano (2nd year Computer Science & Information Systems I-Kiribati student at the University of the South Pacific) who was supported by his wife, Turaa and first cousins, Lily and Gina. Since coming to USP a couple of years ago, this was Ioabo's first opportunity to lead out in worship and what was evident was the Lord's leading in his presentation and obviously this was an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to speak to his heart through the message he presented. A future I-Kiribati leader in the making. We can praise the Lord for His help.

Tomorrow's message, "standing in the spotlight" will be led by Calwin Kepo a Bachelor of Science student from the Solomon Islands.The programme will begin at 8pm with song service and is being held in N111.

    Thanks Ioabo, and Turaa for your ministry to the church. The I-Kiribati team can be strengthened by your leadership. You have a natural gift in presenting. May the Lord bless you as you step out further into active ministry.
