Hundreds of members of the Worship Centre Christian Church are gathering at Matautu this week.
They are taking part in their annual Holy Ghost Conference being held at the Apia Park Gymnasium.
Speaking to the Samoa Observer yesterday, Pastor Fialua Tito said this is the ninth year since they began the Holy Ghost conferences.
“This conference is designed to be ‘Samoa for Samoa’,” he said.
"Some of our churches in New Zealand, Australia and other countries will also have the same conference but with different dates depending on the availability of Pastor Viliamu Mafo’e."
“With this conference, anyone is invited. It’s not just for our church members but it’s for everyone who wants to take part.”
He explained that the goal is to develop everyone into Christ-like maturity through the Word and the Work of the Holy Spirit.
“Looking back, we praise God,” he said. “Looking ahead we trust Him.”
“We continue to serve the Master humbly and faithfully alongside other Christian churches with one goal and that is to extend His Kingdom.”
“All glory and honour to Him. He started it and continues to fulfill His purpose, we are just more than amazed by His works.”
One participant, Talio Fatatili, said he is from a different denomination but he took the opportunity to hear the word of God.
“In this day and age, when very little is said about the Holy Spirit, and what is said is so twisted, you have put together a strong understanding of the person and work of the Spirit of God.”
“Honestly, anyone can benefit from this conference. I thank Pastor Viliamu, I am looking forward to sharing what I’ve learnt with my family.”
Toliai Tinai from Vaitele-Fou said that her understanding of the conference is that “God is still knocking.”
“God wants everyone to be saved, not just some select group of people, but all people.”
