Pr. Maveni conducts ordination in American Samoa

Congratulations to Our Newly Ordained Pastors!
Pr. Tipalelupe Tapuai, Pr. Galuega Vaafusuaga Avau, and Pr. Alefosio Vili

Sabbath was a day of joy and sacred commitment as we witnessed the ordination of three dedicated servants of God here in American Samoa. This significant milestone is a reflection of your unwavering faith, humble spirit, and readiness to serve the flock of Christ.

You are now called, not by man, but by God, to shepherd His people with compassion, courage, and truth. Your ordination is not the end but a new beginning, filled with deeper responsibilities and greater opportunities to glorify Christ.

As Ellen G. White reminds us:
“The greatest want of the world is the want of men... who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.”
Education, p. 57

We believe God has raised you up for such a time as this. May you lead with grace, preach with boldness, and serve with love.

“I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that He considered me trustworthy, appointing me to His service.”
1 Timothy 1:12 (NIV)

May you be faithful until Jesus comes, and may your ministry bring many to the feet of Christ.

Blessings on this new chapter of your calling!
We will keep you in our prayers as you continue to shine His light across the islands and beyond.
