Tautua: Rev Fitifiti Luatau


Rev. Fitifiti, Ta'ita'i o le Fono Samoa 2012 - 2014.  Officially opened our conference with a powerful message on being a good servant - Tautua.  His explanation of someone who serves is very clear, sharing about village and family life of a Samoan. Also linking to the valuable truths in people like Toreka and Pita in the Bible.  O tagata na tautua ma le faamaoni.

Feedback from our Rep Shelby Fatialofa;
Leadership camp 2013 "O LE ALA ILE PULE O LE TAUTUA - met so many new people, and now I surely can say I have a new family, and more brothers and sisters ♥
I miss everybody already.... lol... But yes mean time with you's. 
But that one quote that stood out was...
"ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU BUT ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY" ♥ BE YOURSELF AND LEAD NOT TOMORROW BUT START TODAY!

Fa'afetai Fa'afetai Shelby...

Reflections from the Conference

We are currently processing videos to upload to this blog.  In the meantime we've come across fantastic reflections being posted by Manukau PIPC youth and their leaders.  Rather than try and explain what they share we are going to posting them here on our blog for you all to see.  We've checked that it's ok with their FB administrator and we received a resounding 'Yes!'.

Our posts following this will be reflections accompanied by video footage from our weekend.

Bless you Manix for the wonderful follow up you are so obviously carrying out.  A good model for the rest of us to follow up on.   This is an amazing page to check out Tupulaga.  All their events and happenings are displayed and advertised here.  It's a great way to find out what this part of the body is up to - heaps!!  Thank you Manukau for the great job you do in sharing all you have.

Thanks also to those of you who have completed our online evaluation and survey - it truly does help us to plan and prepare for our next Tupulaga Fono.  Bless you for taking the time.  If you haven't yet completed yours, simply click on the link above.

Thanks to the creative team from Manix for the image displaying our Fono and the themes and focus for the weekend.  Watch this space for video snippets of our blessed time together.
