PASTOR LAUIULA NANAI (Olaga Fou Book, page 186-189) - With a heart filled with mixed emotions and sadness for Ps Fasia Nanai and family, I want to inform all our beloved friends that our gallant courageous brother, Ps Lauiula Nanai has been promoted to glory - Saturday afternoon, 29th January 2022.
When I found out from our church preaching roster, (two weeks ago), that it was my turn to preach this Sunday, 30th January, my spirit was promted to share on "CONSISTENCY" - (Staying the course)... and 1 Corinthians 15:58, immediately came to mind: "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain." (NIV). Brother Lauiula lived this Scripture! His amazing spiritual transformation story is in the recently released "Olaga Fou" book, page 186-189, penned by, yours truly and Alison.
I also want to thank you all, most profoundly, on behalf of Ps Fasia for your prayers and wonderful support. It's such a privilege and honour to belong to God's family. I love you all very much...( Post by Ps Tavale Mataia 30Jan22)

"Let us return to the basic things of the Word of God and prayer and soul winning and revival. Let us pray, "O God, send a revival. Let it begin in me." - Lee Roberson

"A necessary pre-cursor of any great spiritual awakening is a spirit of deep humiliation growing out of a consciousness of sin, and fresh revelation of the holiness and power and glory of God" John R. Mott

"A true revival means nothing less than a revolution, casting out the spirit of worldliness and selfishness, and making God and His love triumph in the heart and life". - Andrew Murray

01/11/2021

"Revival is the visitation of God which brings to life Christians who have been sleeping and restores a deep sense of God's near presence and holiness. Thence springs a vivid sense of sin and a profound exercise of heart in repentance, praise, and love, with an evangelistic outflow". - J.I. Packer

Talofa lava. After three and a half years of work, the book "Olaga Fou" is finished. The book tells the story of the first fourteen years of Youth for Christ in Samoa. With nearly 400 pages and around 60 photos, it is not a comprehensive history, but the story of Youth for Christ told through our own family story and the stories of some of those who were there. It has been a long journey with help from many people, but most of all, we thank God for his help and strength throughout the writing process.
The planned day for launching the book is the 6th November 2021 on ZOOM, streamed as well on Facebook. At this stage it is planned for 3 p.m. so that people in America, New Zealand, Samoa and Australia can take part or watch the live stream. Keep an eye on this page for any updates to this information.
The book will be available after the launching. However, you can pre-order it from us (Tavale and Alison at either [email protected] or phone +64 21 543220 or +64 21 411801). The cost is NZ$35.00 per copy plus postage and packing. However, if you are in Samoa, the book will be available from the YFC Office in Saleufi from early in December.
We trust that the stories of God's work in many lives will bless those who read them and draw them closer to the reality of God's grace.
