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".

AY's with Spiritual Mix


Twelve members of the Spiritual Mix Singing Group challenged the PTEC family about the importance of using their talents which God has blessed them with in contributing to the gospel commission.

Over and over the members in the group reiterated how God has blessed them abundantly, individually and as a group and how they have not only experienced these blessings but have also written songs to record these experiences in their lives. Some of the songs were shared with the congregation and these included, "Step out in Faith","Destination Paradise", and "Two ways to Travel".

Spiritual Mix has been around for fifteen years and the testimonies shared particularly by those members who have pioneered the group, were strong reiterations of the blessings one would experience when we depend on the Greatness of the God we serve.

PTEC is grateful to Brother Apimeleki Ratulevu, his wife Varanisese and their children, Samuela, Laisa and Eroni Ratulevu who have shared their home and their lives in this ministry.

Yesterday the church witnessed the emotional moment when a father affirmed his daughter who was called on to assist the group because a couple of members were not able to make it. Laisa, a fourth form student at Gospel High School, who has grown up listening the the group practise at her home was able to step into a soprano position although she sings alto. In referring to this scene, Jesel Navakalomana, pointed to the grace which our Father in heaven has for us His children when we could also contribute to His mission and how GRACE more abundant is available to us one and all.
