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".

Success @ the ASA Leadership Seminar Week-end

Upcoming Adventist leaders who attended the week-end leadership training on the theme, "Leaders that Shine" found it difficult to part ways on Sunday evening. The Western group which travelled further to get  to the campsite and who were to have left at 2pm did not leave at the time scheduled but left after the Eastern members' buses departed from the campsite.

Facebook updates about the camp reveal just how many friendships were made and how much a blessing the whole week-end series was. Parents have also rung in to thank the organising team for the effort taken in making the training an inspiration for their children.

There is a planned convention which is organised for the Fiji Day week-end and the venue is located at a rural location in Namosi. This will no doubt add to the members experiences in appreciating the blessings they have and in enhancing their desire to contribute back to the community. The photos below show groups out on the beach planning their presentations to the session on Leadership Etiqette.
