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".

Pr Cavanagh provides background to Romans





























(Rostrum assistants, Derrick from the Solomon Islands and Moli Fonokalafi from Tonga with Pr Cavanagh).

Divine service for the PTEC congregation yesterday was conducted as a lesson into the background of Romans which will be the basis of the next quarter's Sabbath School lessons. The General Secretary at the Trans Pacific Union, Pr Paul Cavanagh encouraged members to study the chapter of Romans which is covered for the week before going into the lesson. Pr Cavanagh informed the congregation that he would put together studies on the book of Romans which could assist members in their understanding of the lessons for the next quarter. After church approximately 50 members signed up for the studies immediately.

This is a sign that the students thirst for these sorts of studies as well and that the strategy used for the divine service appealed to the congregation.
