The 47th annual seminar of the First Samoan Full Gospel Church ended yesterday.
Hundreds of church members gathered for the last time as they returned the glory and honour to God for a wonderful week of fellowship and spiritual blessings received from different speakers.
Held at Vaitele-tai for one week, the General Secretary of the Church, Reverend Edward Tautolo said the week was extremely fulfilling.
It was an opportunity to look areas that needs strengthening.
“’The youth was a strong target of the seminar,” he said. “They are the future of the church and we need to look at ways to develop them.
“We are living in a time when the young people are overwhelmed by the challenges of this life but we believe that building them in the Word of God is what will make them stronger so they can become good servants in the future.”
The seminars also targeted strong leadership among other issues.

“We looked at the leadership within the church in Samoa and overseas countries and we are so blessed that God is still in control in everything that we do when we allow Him to go first before us.”
Rev. Tautolo also confirmed two new appointments.
“We’ve elected Leautu Vaeao as a Treasurer and Tupufia Manuleleua from American Samoa as Deacon Elder of the church.”
Their denomination, he said, is 51 years old.
Rev. Richard Vaeao conducted the final service yesterday.
“Nothing will hinder us from receiving God’s blessings when we honour Him with all our heart.”
