Elder Kereti Faiai) Tusi Faitau: Roma 12:14-21 Matua: Aua ne i faatoilaloina oe i le leaga, a ia e faato ilaloina le leaga i le lelei. Manatu Autu: Ia faato ilaloina le leaga i le lelei. A feoa i faatasi le gaoi ma le lē gaoi, e i u lava ina gaoi uma ai. A feoa i faatasi foi le pepelo ma le lē pepelo, e i u lava ina pepelo uma ai. E peiseai o le tulaga lava lea o loo pa ū i ai le gasologa o le soifuaga o le tagata i lenei olaga. E peiseai o le taunuuga lava lea e oo i ai le olaga o le tagata, a o i ai i lenei olaga. E tele a ina pulea e le leaga, e tele a ina malo le leaga. A o lea ua toe faamanatu mai le Tala Lelei mo i tatou, e leai! E le tatau ona manumalo le leaga i le lelei. E le tatau ona toilalo le lelei i le leaga. E tatau ona manumalo le lelei. O le upu moni le au uso e, e le toe uma le taua lea i lenei olaga; le taua i le va o lelei ma leaga. E fai foi le finau mai o lelei ia manumalo, a o le finau foi a leaga ia, ia manumalo. E le uma le taumafai o le tasi e faatoilalo i le isi. O le a la le mea o le a fai? Tuu ai ia faapea? E leaga o le taua e le toe uma! O le taua o loo faia pea, ma e faigata ona maua i ai se iuga. Ioe, o le taua i le va o lelei ma leaga, o le taua o loo faia pea. E oo mai lava i le taimi nei, o loo faia lava. Peitai, ua aoaoina mai, ma faamanatu mai e le Tala Lelei, mo i tatou le finagalo o le Atua e uiga i le taua lea. Le taua i le va o lelei ma leaga. O le a le finagalo o le Atua? Ia manumalo le lelei i le leaga. Aua ne i manumalo le leaga i le lelei. A ia manumalo ai le lelei i le leaga. E faapei ona aoaoina mai le Tala Lelei mo i tatou i le finagalo o le Atua, i le auala e manumalo ai le lelei i le leaga. O le a lea auala? O le aua le taui ma sui, aua le taui atu le leaga i le leaga; a ia taui atu le leaga i le lelei. Ona pau lea o le auala e le mafai e leaga ona fai. E le mafai e leaga ona taui i le lelei pe a agaleaga mai. Ua masani lava leaga ia, i le agaleaga atu pe a agaleaga mai. A agalelei mai foi, e taui atu lava e le leaga i le agaleaga atu. Ona aoao mai lea o le Tala Lelei, tago la ia lelei e sui le masani lena a leaga: Le masani o le fiafia e taui ma sui. Tago la ia lelei e sui le masani lena, ona e manumalo ai lea. Ona faiaina ai lea ma toilalo leaga. Auā e le mafai e leaga ona fai se mea lelei mo lelei, na o mea e leaga ai lelei. Tago la ia lelei, e sui le masani lena a leaga. Ona e manumalo lea i le leaga. Ona le mafai lea e leaga ona faatoilaloina lelei, a ua faatoilaloina e lelei leaga, e faapefea la ona fai? Ia faamanuia atu i e ua faasauā mai. Faamanuia lava, a e aua le fetuu. Ia olioli faatasi ma e ua olioli, tagi foi faatasi ma e ua fetagisi. O lona uiga, ia e amanaiaina ma manatu ane i lou uso vaivai. Ia fefaapalepalea i i le fealofani. Aua le taui atu le leaga i le leaga i se tasi, a ia nofo lelei ma tagata uma lava. Ia e agalelei i lou fili. Ia fafaga i e ua ita mai, pe a fia inu ma fia ai. Aua le taui ma sui, a ia outou tuu atu i le toasa. Tuu atu i le Atua. O le Atua na te faia taui mo tagata uma, auā o loo ia te ia le taui ma sui. Le au uso pele, e pei ona mua i ta ua i le lauga, o le taua lenei i le va o lelei ma leaga, o loo faia pea lava pea, e oo mai i le taimi lenei. E fai o le finau atu o lelei, a o le finau mai foi o leaga ia ina ia manumalo. O le finagalo o le Atua mo i tatou, aua ne i manumalo leaga ia i tatou, a ia manumalo le lelei. E faapefea ona tatou faamanumalo ia lelei a e le o le leaga? Pe afai tatou te faia mea ia, e pei ona faamanatu mai e le Tala Lelei mo i tatou. Aua le taui ma sui, aua le taui atu le agaleaga mai i le agaleaga atu, a ia taui atu le agaleaga mai i le agalelei atu. Aua le faatoilaloina oe i le leaga, a ia e faatoilaloina le leaga i le lelei. O le auala lea e faato a faauma ai le taua lea; ona faiaina lea o leaga, a e manumalo lelei. E avatu e le Atua o manuia e tele mo oe. O Iesu lava ma lana galuega na finagalo ai lona Tamā ia faia mo le lalolagi, e le i faigofie. Auā o le galuega sa tau ai lelei ma leaga. E naunau Iesu ina ia faaolaina le tagata, a e taumafai foi satani, ina ia toilalo ma oti pea le tagata i lima o satani, ma ua alu ese, ina ua na le iloa se ala e faatoilaloina ai Iesu. O lea na manumalo aiai ai Iesu i le oti ma le tuugamau. Na maliu ma toe tu manumalo, ua maua ai lo ta manumalo faatasi ma Ia i le ola faavavau. Pe afai tatou te mulimuli ma le faamaoni i ona tulaga aao. Ona pau lea o le auala e te faatoilaloina ai le leaga: O lou faia o le finagalo o le Atua, o le aua le taui ma sui. Ia olaola le lelei i ou tiute ma lau galuega, ona e maua lea o le manumalo mai le leaga. Ona o Iesu, Amene! FAAMANUIA LE ATUA!

4 P A G E 4 E K A L E S I A F A A P O T O P O T O G A K E R I S I A N O I A M E R I K A S A M O A SU ESU EGA I LE TUSI PAIA: (Tusia Rev. Elder Faaeteete Saifoloi) Fa aauauina o le Tusi o Isaia, mai le lomiga talu ai. O ISAIA LUA: (Deutero Isaiah, chs 40-66) O le Perofeta: (The Prophet) Ua tatou le maua ni faamatalaga e uiga i le perofeta lea, po o le Isaia Lua, e pei ona taofi nisi e ese le tagata sa ia tusia ma fa amaumauina lenei vaega o le Isaia. O lona igoa sa o, aiga, nu u ma mea e uiga i le avea o ia ma perofeta, ua tele ina fesiligia e le au faitau Tusi Paia. Peita i, o ana valoaga fa aperofeta sa matua iloga lona taua tele i le vaitau o Isaraelu, a o fa afeagai i latou ma tiga ma fa afitauli o le tafaega. E lua veaga tetele o ana valoaga o loo vaevaeina i totonu o ia mataupu Ua faasino le Isaia i le olaga o tagata Iutaia a o i ai i Papelonia, a o le Isaia 56-66, o loo tautala ma fa atatau i mea sa latou iloa ina ua mavae lo latou toe fo i i Ierusalema. Ua atagia mai e eseese le fa amoemoe o ia valoaga, a ua tuufaatasia e le galuega a se tagata to atasi i le taimi o le puleaga a Kuresa, atoa ai ma le toe fo i atu o tagata Iutaia i Ierusalema mai le tafeaga. O le taofi fo i o nisi, a mafaufau loloto i ia vaega e lua o le Isaia Lua, e mafai fo i ona foliga tutusa le feau ma le fa amoemoe a nei vaega e lua o le Isaia Lua. Ua fa amatalaina i mataupu le talitonuga i le Atua atoa ai ma le faamoemoe mo se lumana i manuia. O mea ia e tapena ma saunia lava e le mataisau o le Atua, ma o loo tusitusia uma fo i ia mea i le Isaia Afai sa tusia e se perofeta e tasi nei vaega e lua, o lona uiga, e le i o o i se tulaga maualuga faapenei lona faamoemoe, i le toe fo i atu o tagata Iutaia i Ierusalema. O Tala oto oto: (The Outline) Isaia 40-55: O valoaga e faalototele atu ai i tagata Iutaia a o i ai i Papelonia, atoa ai ma le saunia o le auala mo le toe fo i atu i Ierusalema. Isaia 56-66: O valoaga e tima i ai pea le fa alototeleina o tagata Iutaia i Ierusalema, e u una iina ai lo latou fa amaoni i ala o le ola ma le manuia, e pei ona tu uina atu e le Atua ia i latou. E le o i ai ni faamatalaga o mea na tutupu e o faatasi ma nei valoaga. O le mea lea, o mea o loo tusia ma tatou maua mai i talaotooto (contents) o nei valoaga, ua pau lena o se fesoasoani ua tatou maua e tusa i le fa amoemoe sa tusia ai, po o le taimi fo i na faia ai. O lona uiga, e eseese taimi sa faia ai ia valoaga. O se fa ataitaiga, a faitau ma mafaufau i le Isaia 66:1-4, ua ta u solitulafonoina le toe fausiaina o ni nofoaga fou o tapuaiga, e ese mai ai i le mea sa masani ai. Ua taofi nisi o le au su esu e o le Feagaiga Tuai, peiseai o lenei feau sa tuuina atu ma faamamafa i tagata ese sa nonofo i Ierusalema, a o i ai tagata Iutaia moni i le tafeaga. Pe afai fo i sa faia nei valoaga i le taimi ina ua mavae le tafeaga, ua le tutusa fo i la ma isi valoaga ia o loo tautala i ai le perofeta, e fa atatau i le olioli ma le fiafia o i latou uma e tapua i tasi i le Atua i Ierusalema, i le mea o loo i ai le malumalu o le Atua o Isaraelu. Se i faitau ma manatunatu i le Isaia (56:6-8.2). O Pese i le Auauna: (The Servant Songs) E le taumate o vaega aupito taua ia o le Isaia Lua, o vaega ua fa aigoaina o Pese i le Auauna, e pei ona tusia i le Isaia 42:1-4, 49:1-6, 50:4-9, 52:13-53:12. Se i faitau ma tatou mafaufau toto a i ai. Ua talitonu nisi sikola o le Feagaiga Tuai, e mafai lava ona tu ueseina nei vaega mai i o latou tulaga o loo i ai i le tusi o Isaia e aunoa ma se afaina ai fua o vaega o totoe o le Isaia Lua. Ua latou talitonu, o nei Pese i le Auauna, peiseai o ni pese po o ni solo sa maua mai i nisi puna (sources), po o nisi fo i fa amaumauga fa a-valoaga. O le tusi atoa o valoaga, e itiiti lava ni nai fesootaiga ma isi valoaga e pei ona tusia mai, ma e mafai lava ona aveeseina pe le toe fa aaogaina fo i, e aunoa ma se afaina ai o mea o totoe i le tusi atoa. Ui o lea, a o le mea taua lava e ao ona mata itu i le faaeseeseina o nei vaega o manatu o loo i Pese i le Auauna, e ese mai lea i mea o loo tusia i isi vaega o le Isaia Lua. O pese e fa apitoa lava i le Auauna a le Atua. Ma, e ese le fa aaogaina iinei o le upu Auauna mai le uiga o loo fa aaogaina i nisi vaega o le Isaia Lua. O se fa ataitaiga talafeagai, a faitau ma mafaufau i le Isaia 41:8-10 ma le 42:19, o le upu Auauna ua fa atatau lea ia Isaraelu atoa. O le Auauna tofia a le Atua mo lona fa amoemoe. A e a silasila la i le Isaia 49:5-6, ua ese fo i lona fa amamafa. Ua tusilima ma fa atatau i se tagata e to atasi na te fa ataunu uina le faamoemoe o le Atua. O se auauna na te saunia ni galuega lelei mo le nu u o Isaraelu. O se auauna amiotonu na te aumaia le filemu mo le nu u. O le auauna e puapuagatia mo isi. O le talitonuga masani o isi e su esu e i le Isaia, o le upu auauna o loo fa atatau i ta ita i (malo) ma perofeta (lotu). O i latou ia ua tofia ma filifilia e le Atua e fa ataunuu lona finagalo, e faapei o Mose, Serupapelu, Ioakina, Isaia Lua. O nisi ua manatu ia Usia, Ieremia po o Kuresa fo i, o auauna tofia a le Atua. O le mea e a o ona iloa, e matua leai lava se molimau e lagolagoina ai e tagata Iutaia, o le upu auauna o loo faatatau lea i se Mesia valoia. O manatu i le auauna na filifilia e puapuagatia, e le taumate fa atoa maua ina ua taumafai tagata Iutaia ona fa afeagai ma le mea moni. O nisi o i latou na o i le tafeaga e le tatau ona ta u solitulafonoina i le ta u agasalaina lea sa tu uina atu ia

5 E K A L E S I A F A A P O T O P O T O G A K E R I S I A N O I A M E R I K A S A M O A P A G E 5 Isaraelu atoa, a ua ta usalaina fa atasi i latou na o i le tafeaga ona o le loto nu u. O le i ai i le tafeaga sa fa aalia ai lo latou fa amaoni ma le onosa i i puapuaga, ma saunia ai i latou mo le aso e fa asa olotoina ai mai le tafeaga. Sa latou tu uina atu fo i ni fa aaoa oga lelei o le loto maulalo ma le onosa i, e fai lea ma ala e fa ala eiau ma fa alototele ai i nisi o le nu u. Afai o le amataga lea o le mataupu i le auauna, ua mafai nei la ona fa atatau le upu auauna i so o se tagata Iutaia e alofa ma fa amaoni i le Atua. E mafai fo i ona fa atatau lona uiga lenei i so o se tagata o loo puapuagatia i le lalolagi ona o lona usiusitai i le Atua, atoa ai ma lona tauaveina o fuafuaga loloto a le Atua mo le fa aolaina o so o se tagata mafatia. Masalo o iinei lea sa tosina i ai mafaufauga faa-mesia, e faatatau loa le upu auauna i le galuega fa aola sa fa atino e Iesu Keriso i se vaitaimi mulimuli ane. Ma ua iloa e tagata kerisiano, o nei valoaga uma, o le saunia lea o se auala mo tagata ia malamalama ai i le Keriso manumalo. Sa fa alototeleina le ulua i tusitala i le olaga fa amaoni o tagata Iutaia a o fa afesaga i pea ma faigata o le olaga. O le taofi i le auauna i isi vaega o le Isaia Lua, ua faatatau lava lea i tagata Isaraelu sa galulue faatasi ma le Atua i le faataunuuina o ana fuafuaga uma i le lalolagi. Ua fa aalia fo i i nei valoaga le tiga loloto o le Atua ona ua le mafai e Isaraelu (auauna) ona fa ataunuuina ana galuega (Isaia 42:18-25). Ua ta u mai fo i ia i tatou e le na tusia Pese, le fa alavelave na o o ia i latou, o e na loto malilie e faataunuu fuafuaga a le Atua i le lalolagi. O le mea lea, e le tatau ona tatou manatu, e ese nei Pese nai lo isi vaega o le Isaia Lua. O le Feau: (The Message-Chs 40-55) Sa tuuina atu e Isaia Lua i Ierusalema (Siona) se feau fa amafanafana a o galue o ia i Papelonia. Se i faitau ma mafaufau i le Isaia 52:1-2, 7-8. O Siona, o le isi lea igoa ua fa aigoaina ai Ierusalema, le a ai paia. Ua fa atatau nei upu uma i tagata o le Atua o lo o aumau ma nonofo i Siona le a ai paia. Sa fa atupuina le loto atuatuvale ona o mea na latou iloa ma vaaia i le tafeaga, Isaia 49:14. Peita i, sa saunia lava e le Atua ni mea fou mo lona nu u, Isaia 42:9. Folafolaga o mea-fou. O le a i ai le Esoto fou, o le a toe taitaiina e le Atua lona nu u i le vao, Isaia 48:20-21, 49:9-11. O le a auai fa atasi ma malo ese i fuafuaga a le Atua, e fai lava Isaraelu ma o latou ta ita i i le fa ataunuuina o lenei fa amoemoe, Isaia 45:14, 55:3-5.

E tele malo malolosi nai lo Isaraelu, peitai, e a o ona manatua, o le pule faito atasi a le Atua na tuuina atu ai lona nu u o Isaraelu i le tafeaga. Na faia e le Atua lena fuafuaga e fa asalaina ai i latou mai a latou agasala uma, Isaia 50:1-3. Ui o lea, o lea fo i ua sauni le Atua e lavea i lona nu u, tusa lava pe leaga i latou, Isaia 48:9-12.

O le Atua na Ia faia mea uma, e pule aoao fo i o Ia i mea uma lava, Isaia 40:12-26, 28. O Ia o le Muamua ma le Mulimuli, e leai se isi atua e tutusa ma Ia, Isaia 44:6, 46:9. O le a fa ataunu uina lava le finagalo o le Atua mo Isaraelu i ona taimi e finagalo ai le Atua. O le Feau: (The Message-Chs 56-66) Pei lava ona taua muamua, e i ai nisi valoaga i lenei vaega o le tusi e tali tutusa ma valoaga o loo tusia i le Isaia E mafai fo i ona tuueseina e aunoa ma se afaina o isi valoaga e pei ona taofi nisi o le au popoto o le Feagaiga Tuai. O loo tulimata i e nei valoaga uma le fa amafanafanaina ma le fa alototeleina o tagata o Siona, aua o le a fa afouina le tausiga a le Atua ia te i latou, Isaia 61:3.

O le a fa aauauina le Esoto fou (toe foi mai le tafeaga mai i Papelonia). O le a sili atu ona fa amamaluina le aai paia, Isaia 60:4-7. Ua mae a fo i ona saunia e malo ese ni auauna mo le Atua, e toatele fo i nisi auauna o le a mulimuli mai, Isaia 56:3, 60: E tasi lava le fa alavelave o le fa ataunuuina o fuafuaga a le Atua mo Isaraelu, o le le usiusita i lea o lona nu u, Isaia 59:1-4. E fa apea fo i i le mataga o auala o loo faia ai a latou tapuaiga, Isaia 66:3-4. E fa atauemu le faiga o a latou anapogi, ma e le iloa salamo, Isaia 58:3-5. O le a fa asalaina tagata amioleaga e le Atua, ma e pule o Ia ma le manumalo, Isaia 60:1-3, 66:22. Ua manino ma mautinoa, o le eseesega o valoaga i le Isaia ma le Isaia 40-55, ua atagia mai ai le eseesega o mea sa latou iloa ma manatua i le tafeaga i Papelonia, atoa ai ma mea sa iloa ma manatua i le taimi o le toe fo i ma nonofo ai i Ierusalema, le aai paia o le Atua.

Ua le soifua na o ia, e le ola foi mo ia lava. 10. O le Ekalesia e totonugalemu ma tupu a e i totonu o le Tala Lelei, o le Upu lava lea a le Atua. O le Ekalesia o le mafutaga faatasi o e ua soifua ma ola i le mafutaga faatasi ma le Atua, o le na fetalai atu ia te i latou ma valaauina ina ia tali mai i la le faatuatua---o le mafutaga o e ua faatuatua ma talitonu. O le mea lea, o le Ekalesia e tupu mai le Atua le Upu, o le faaaliga o le upu o le ola sa faafaileleina mai i le amataga ma faaauau pea, e pei ona faailoa mai i le Tusi Paia.

O le Faatuatua ua faailoa mai i Afioga a le Atua, e auala mai lea i le Agaga Paia. I le Tusi Paia, o Afioga a le Atua ma le Agaga Paia, e le tu uese eseina. E faapei o le faapotopotoga o e faatuatua, o le Ekalesia foi o le galuega mana e fausia e le Agaga Paia. E faapei o le soifua o Keriso na iloa ai le Agaga Paia na gaoioi i le foafoaga se ia o o i le toe-tu; o le mea lea, o le Ekalesia o le Agaga Paia lava lea ua faailoa mai ia Keriso i e ua talitonu ma auai i le mafutaga faatasi. O le Agaga Paia ua na aumaia tagata e fai ma tino o Keriso e ala i le faatuatua ma le papatisoga, faaolaolaina ma faamalosia e fai ma tino o Keriso, i le fafagaina ma faaolaola pea e ala i le Talisuaga a le Alii, ma taitaiina i latou i le faaatoatoaina o le mafutaga faatasi ia Keriso. 12. O Afioga ma le Agaga o le Atua na faia ai le Ekalesia ia tasi, ia paia, o le mafutaga e aofia ai nuu uma, ma folafola atu le tala lelei i le ola e faavavau. O le talitonuga faitauina lenei e faatatau i le Ekalesia, e le faaletino a e ua faatatau i le ola faalagolago atu i Afioga a le Atua ma lona Agaga Paia. Ua avea ma tasi aua o le Atua lava na fusia ia tasi ia te ia, i le Upu ma le Agaga o le foafoaga ma le togiolaina, ua avea ai le Ekalesia o se ta imua, o se faigaluega e laveaiina le foafoaga o mea uma. Ia paia aua e paia le Atua, e ala ia Iesu Keriso na faato ilaloina mea uma, na faapaiaina le Ekalesia i ana fetalaiga ia faamagalo atu e ala i le Agaga Paia, ua avea o ana afioga, o le tino lea o Keriso. O le mafutaga o nuu uma aua o le Atua o le atoaga o le ola i ana Afioga ma le Agaga, lea ua fausia ai le Ekalesia i le tino e galueaiina ai le lavea iina, le ola foa i atu, ma lona auai faatasi i mea uma; o le mea lea, o le atoaga o ana Afioga faaalia, o mea uma ia e faasaoina ai tagata, nuu ma atunuu, lanu ma gagana, tane ma fafine faapea ma aganuu. O le tala lelei folafola o Afioga a le Atua na fausia ai le Ekalesia o le Tala Lelei, e faapitoa ma faaolaola o le molimau a le au aposetolo, ua faapotopoto ma mafuta faatasi o e ua faatuatua, ua fai ma o latou tiute ma matafaioi, le galuega tala i atu tuufaasolo o le tala lelei i lea tulaga ma lea tupulaga. 13. O le Ekalesia ua le faatatau i le tuufaatasiga o e ua talitonu i le mafuta faatasi ma le Atua. Ua le na o se faatasiga foi o e talitonu o le tasi i le isi. A e o le faatasiga masani o e ua ola i le soifuaga faale-atua i le agaga e tasi. O le mea lea e faamaonia ai lona itu-atua ma lona itu-tagata. Tiute tau ave o le faalapotopotoga o le Ekaleisa ma le Galuega a le Agaga Paia. Ua talia e ekalesia uma, e faapea, o le Ekalesia na foafoaina e le Atua ia mafuta ma Ia, e ala i le Agaga Paia e tusa ma ana afioga folafolaina i le tala lelei e pei ona laugaina ma sauniga o sakarameta. Peitai, e i ai pea taofi ma manatu ua fe ese esea i ai, i mea nei: (1)... po o le lauga atu ea ma sauniga o sakarameta o faatinoga ia e molimau atu ai, po o ua na ona faailoa atu, o galuega a le Agaga e auala mai i afioga a le Atua ua pa i mai i se ala faigofie ona lagona i loto o e ua talitonu; (2)... ua fai ma faasino ala i le faatinoina o tiute ma matafaioi le talitonuga o le Ekalesia e faauiga-lua: mo isi o le faauuga faafaifeau, a e maise lava i le au epikopo o le faatinoga pito tonu lea, a e talitonu isi o loo i ai le faamaoniga o le tonu ma le malosi i le Upu ma le Agaga o le Atua i le Ekalesia; mo isi, o le upu moni e faapea, o le faauuga faafaifeau faatasi ma le molimau o e uma ua talitonu e mafai ona aafia i sese ma le agasala i a latou filifiliga, o le mana ma le faalagolago i le faamaoni o le Atua e tumau pea lea i le pule silisili ua maua i le Upu ma le Agaga e galue i totonu o le loto, peitai e mafai lava ona faafesiligia, pe a taga i i fausaga faaletino o le Ekalesia.

Lelilio AKF I AM A CHRISTIAN. When I say that I am a Christian, I am not shouting that I am clean living. I m whispering I was lost, but now I m found and forgiven. When I say I am a Christian, I don t speak of this with pride. I m confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. When I say I am a Christian, I m not trying to be strong. I m professing that I m weak and need His strength to carry on. When I say I am Christian, I m not bragging of success. I m admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess. When I say I am a Christian, I m not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say I am Christian, I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name. When I say I am Christian, I am not holier than thou. I m just a simple sinner who received God s good grace, somehow!

As church members of the Pacific Conference of Churches (PCC) move forward in its mission and call as God s people in ministry, one of the most important issues that have come up among its church members and communities is the issue of Gender Based Violence (GBV) against women and girls. Although this issue or topic of GBV against women have long been addressed and dealt with, the growing numbers of cases and violence against women and girls over the past years have been dramatically alarming and one in which questions the mission and the outreach ministry of the church. In association with God s Pacific People and Weavers, the PCC has organized and put together a week-long program consisting of guest speakers from theological colleges, government agencies as well as others whom the PCC thoroughly selected as individuals and organizations in which dealt with the issue of GBV among women and girls. In collaboration with these individuals and organizations, pastoral leaders from local church members of the PCC as well as representatives of government agencies and local cultural leaders were present to share their thoughts and opinions on how their work could be much more effective in addressing this issue of GBV. As a participating member from our church CCCAS, I was overwhelmed with emotions as I represented our church in the best way I could with my own experiences as a product of Kanana Fou Theological Seminary, and as an employee of the CCCAS office. Throughout the week participants were encouraged to engage in group discussions and conversations that brought different experiences yet finding common grounds for improving our current situation. The biggest question and focus of the workshop was, What can the church do to address and help eliminate GBV? It was through these conversations and discussions that the participants as well as church leaders were moved to hear of the current situations in some of the Pacific islands with the oppression of women, and the perception of women not having the right to speak out for themselves and be able to attain positions within their own Pacific countries and context. What was more alarming was that women who were treated with such discrimination and violence were victims of their own families and churches. As a participant, I too felt those struggles because of the many cases of domestic violence and rape that are affecting women and girls here in our island of American Samoa. Hearing the stories shared from the other participants as well as the guest speakers inspired me to speak out on how our church here at CCCAS have been able to implement programs and become an advocate in partnership with the government to help address this issue of GBV. However, as the workshop progressed, a very important question kept popping up as a reflection and as an assessment in which all of the participants were left to think about, Is the church doing enough to address the issue of GBV? In looking further into the issue of GBV, we the participants found that it was quite common for those organizing such workshops to have only women participants with the intention that women should be the ones to voice and discuss such issues and problems. However, the most promising and motivating gesture that was experienced by the women participants visiting from around the Pacific region was the presence of church elders, leaders and government representatives who were male advocates of the issue of GBV. Being able to hear and share thoughts, experiences and opinions regarding GBV in churches, communities, schools and out in public was enriching with the presence of our male counterparts and advocates. The Acting General Secretary of PCC Rev. Francois Pihaatae in his opening remark on Monday February 4, 2013 said, Individually we are a drop, together we are an ocean. Emphasizing on how we as individuals are single drops that when we work together we become an ocean. Here is a newspaper article that was reported by the Fiji Sun regarding this workshop. Churches Urged: Tackle Gender-Based Violence By: Farisha Ahmed February 5, 2013 The week-long conference, organised by the PCC in partnership with Fiji Women s Crisis Centre, focuses on reducing violence against women, girls, and children in the communities. Rev Pihaatae encouraged the members present at the Jovili Meo Mission Church in Nasese on Monday to participate and take back the knowledge on an issue that was affecting the Pacific nations at an alarming rate. I don t know how many workshops and campaigns have been held across the region on the issue of violence yet we still see it happening in our homes, schools, churches and communities, he said. He urged the participants to come and work together to fight against violence in our societies. We can go against or fight

11 P A G E 11 E K A L E S I A F A A P O T O P O T O G A K E R I S I A N O I A M E R I K A S A M O A against violence but the other better way is to unite and deepen our strength and work towards these problems, he said. Addressing the conference, Reverend Tuikilakila Waqairatu, the President of Methodist Church in Fiji and Rotuma encouraged men to be part of this conference together with women. This conference is not only for women but also for men and those concerned. He said churches in Fiji and the region should discuss and preach on domestic violence and look for solutions. The churches should be open to discuss such issues concerning women, girls, and children where victims are able to share their feelings and their problems, Rev Waqairatu said. In the midst of the workshop, participants were encouraged by the PCC Women s Animator Mrs. Akinisi Tarabe to be mindful of God s mission for us as we discussed and voiced opinions and comments on how the church can be a role model in eliminating GBV. Scriptural texts were thoroughly redefined with the help from theological lecturers to further look into scriptural and how misinterpretation of scripture can lead people into committing violence to each other. As this is the beginning of a program that PCC and its member churches hope to reestablish in the next three to five years, our next step is presenting what we have discussed to the Women s Pre-Assembly in Honiara, Solomon Islands in March 2013, and if all goes well it will then move on to the General Assembly meeting in Honiara for approval. It is with our hopes and prayers as participants and as members of the February workshop at PTC Suva, Fiji that this will be a promising and bright avenue that we as church leaders can implement change and improve the status of life within our families, communities and society as a whole. May God strengthen and encourage us to be strong leaders of change and hope. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our central office of CCCAS, my colleagues at the Department of Christian Education especially the General Secretary Rev. Reupena Alo for making me a part of this wonderful yet very important workshop. I also would like to thank Kanana Fou Theological Seminary for their support, leadership and guidance from the president, faculty, staff and their wives as well as the students for offering support, love and care for my family during my time in Fiji. May God bless each and everyone of you.

Sui o le Lamepa MESSAGE FROM KANANA FOU HIGH SCHOOL To God be the Glory for He has strengthened us in so many ways, and through Him, we expect and attempt great things for Kanana Fou High School! As time flows through our educational journey, we tend to forget to thank the most important reason why things happen, our God, for all He has done and His perfect ways in everything we do. When we face trials and tribulations, it is then that we realize how much we need His presence, His grace and His guidance to lead us in our difficult times. As I mentioned before about our Accreditation being postponed until next year, due to preparations and extra trainings that is needed by our staff and faculty in order to accomplish the visitation, the WASC Accreditation team agreed to conduct trainings for our staff and faculty to help prepare for next year s visit. I truly believe that God has never forsaken us for He continuously works in mysterious ways like He always does. The WASC team will arrive on island on the 25th of this month, February to conduct training for the teachers, staff and administration. The accreditation is an ongoing process served as a vehicle to move school community members into meaningful school wide improvement and accountability. It will be a three day training, from 8:30am 3:30pm at the main office, conference room. There will also be members from the public schools. The school board or the school committee is also invited to attend this training. This will be a great opportunity for them to ask questions and share their expertise as members of the school board with the WASC members conducting the training. On Februrary 15th, the football team held its fiafia nite, it is truly a collaborative effort from the parents of the football team together with Coach Time Sitala Tagomailelagi and VP Mali oli o Ailima. The money raised on this night was totaled up to $4 thousand plus. The fundraising is for purchasing equipments and uniforms for the football team, as we all know the church provided all of these for the football team in previous years, but coach Time and parents of the players have decided to help finance some of the equipments and other gears needed by our students. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all of our parents for your never ending support and contribution in whatever we do here at Kanana Fou High School. Faamalo and Faafetai Tele!

CHILDREN S STORY Lump in the throat (Lent) E. Stanley Jones told about a little boy who was trying to grasp the understandings of Christian faith, especially at the point of seeking forgiveness and entering into deep fellowship with God. His teacher suggested an analogy. When you do as your parents desire. he said to the boy, you feel good inside. But what happens when you disobey and when you go against their will? The youngster replied, I have a lump in my throat. The teacher and the boy prayed together, the boy saying to God: I ve always felt I belonged to you, but I ve been afraid to say so. Now I say so! They concluded their prayers, and the little fellow said joyously, The lump is gone from my throat. by: Doran s. Sleep well! my friend. TALA MO TAMAITI O le paolo o le laau a le Atua.
