A commissioning service was held yesterday (April 15) for the first group of missionaries from Fiji who will serve in Indonesia and Timor Leste, marking a significant milestone in regional mission outreach.
During the service, Fiji Mission president Pastor Nasoni Lutunaliwa reminded the missionaries of their divine calling to serve the Lord faithfully in the work He has entrusted to them.
Trans Pacific Union Mission (TPUM) general secretary Jane Opetaia also encouraged the missionaries with a message of assurance, expressing how their courage and dedication has inspired many.
Some of the missionaries are scheduled to depart today (April 16) for their year of service, with more set to join them in the coming months.
The initiative is part of Mission Refocus—a General Conference strategy aimed at reviving the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s commitment to global evangelism. The South Pacific Division has partnered with the Southern Asia-Pacific Division to support and strengthen mission efforts in the region. As part of the collaboration, the TPUM has formed a partnership with the Western Indonesia Union Mission.
