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".

VISIT the "Well "at the 2010 ASA Leadership Camp


Many, many , many years ago. She came to the well to draw some water. For herself, her family...maybe her friends (I am not sure...this story is too old!)
Jesus (tired, hungry, sweating) was sitting by that well and asked her for a drink.
She initially refused I understand that culture dictated (back then) -  Jews don't talk to Samaritans. But Jesus talked. She listened and even spoke  back. Jesus listened too.
Jesus knew her secrets and told her. She was surprised. She called him a prophet.
Jesus told her "but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst..."She said "sir, give me this water..." END of STORY??...No, no, no

The woman LEFT HER WATER JAR, WENT BACK TO TOWN AND TOLD EVERYONE, COME, SEE A MAN... (check out this story and details in THE BIBLE, John 4: 1-42)

At Deuba this week-end - a "well" (prayer room) will be open 24 hours for the entire week-end. Come, bring your life story, problems, questions and meet JESUS there. Come just as you are. Come pray, praise, talk, complain, cry to Jesus. He LISTENS 24/7.  

Come visit the "well"  - by yourself or with a friend. Be warned (a chit chat with God is life changing) coz- It maybe an old story - BUT the MAN at the well is the same then (yesterday), today (as you complete assignments, sit tests, and pack for Deuba) and rest assured that HE HAS GOT YOU and TOMORROW firmly in HIS HANDS.   

Safe travels, see you at Deuba and please say "bula" if our paths cross at "the well!"

GOD Bless
