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".

PTEC assists Sydney Heart Team





The Adventurers, Pathfinders and the counsellors of the PTEC congregation assisted the Sydney Heart team by visiting those people who had been operated on and who were ready to be discharged from the hospital after successful operations. Their fellowship included singing to them, praying with them and giving out gifts which children in Australia had donated to be given out during the 2010 visit to Fiji. Many of the children had taken the day off from school to participate in the activity. PTEC also participated in the farewell programme organised by the Fiji Mission at the end of the two weeks of work by the Heart Team. The Commissioners Singing Group, a group of Fijian students and a couple of Tongan members provided some of the entertainment at the meal prepared for the team.

This was the Sydney Adventist Hospital's 100th visit to Fiji to provide this much needed assistance to the people of Fiji. Although limited in how PTEC could support their work, the church was involved in praying for the team during the two weeks they were here working.
