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".

ReFRESH @ Divine Service

Dr Tausere continued on the theme for the camp and was assisted through music by the "Grace Teens Singing Group" of teenage young ladies from Labasa, Vanua Levu. He emphasised the importance of taking time out to Revive, Renovate, Replenish and Renew basing some of his content on Mark 6:31 where Jesus told His disciples to "come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while".

At the end of the service, the Mothers in the congregation were invited forward and at this service PTEC was blessed to have 3 Pastors: Pr Maveni Kaufononga(TPU Youth Leader), Pastor Nasoni from Vanua Levu, who brought the Grace Teens, and retired Pastor Wapole Talemaitoga who prayed for the mothers present.

Final year student, Asaeli Vateitei moved the vote of thanks on behalf of the church to Dr Nemani and his wife, Francoise Tausere  for their ministry through the two services.

    Yes, yes, thanks to Dr Nemani for his creative ideas shared in making the worship experience different and spiritually meaningful and a blessing. I especially loved the use of the little skit on the beach, using the environment and beautiful weather to bring alive a story in the Bible. Thanks to your beautiful wife and son who supported you in these programmes.
