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".

iMPACT Suva 2nd round implementation



In keeping with the world church outreach theme: "Reach out, reach up and reach across", PTEC went into its second round of its iMPACT Suva programme yesterday. The whole church is allocated into 6 groups: the Old People's Home, Children's Hospital, visiting sick PTEC members, AY worship in a Fijian speaking church, prayer and sharing street ministry, AYs on Hope FM97.6 and Prison Ministry. The first of this series was done on July 27th and today marked the 2nd in the series which is planned to be implemented once each month. Other churches in the Multi-Ethinc disctrict have been challenged to participate in this programme by taking up other sabbaths in the month to iMPACT Suva through active ministry.

The overwhelming response from the PTEC members has been very encouraging for the leaders of the church who plan to touch base and discuss strategies to improve logistical challenges in getting members to all these venues. The largely regional student membership of over one hundred students has approximately 4 vehicles to assist with transportation.

All of the groups are led by students and there is strong evidence of God's leading in all of the outreach activities. Groups will share their experiences of these activities at the next Vespers programme on Friday, 27th August.

Please remember the PTEC church in your prayers. The next in this series will be held on September, 25th.
