“To all of our families and friends and the Methodist Church, thanks for your support and prayers.”
Rev. Siaki Haini acknowledged the hand of the Almighty and everyone who has supported them
through their journey.
“It has been a long journey and I just want to thank God for all that He had done for me and my wife especially the church,” he said.
“We have been chosen to serve and nothing else but to rely on God to lead and guide us in everything. The ordination ceremony was part of the church’s annual conference.
