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".

Take the Gift

Although the grace of God is the most valuable gift that you will ever receive , it is a gift for which you cannot pay. The cost of the gift of God’s grace has been covered completely by the giver. The bible describes it this way: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8 NIV
And what do you receive when you take the gift? You receive a gift far superior to that of gold or diamonds. Its luster cannot be tarnished and its radiance cannot fade. It is the favor of God.
Imagine joy that explodes with the power of a supernova and that ripples throughout eternity. Imagine peace that settles in that cannot be dislodged during the stormiest of times. Imagine confidence to stand before the ultimate Judge of the universe knowing the verdict has already been decided for you. This is grace.So where do you have to go? What do you have to do? How far does one have to journey to find this most supreme gift?Not far. In fact God’s gift is right before you. It is an opportunity that you must not let slip away. You are invited. Take the Gift!
