Vaiusu S.D.A. makes White Sunday extra special

20 October 2018, 12:00AM

White Sunday this year was extra special for the abused and abandoned children at the Campus of Hope, as it was celebrated together with the children from the Seventh Day Adventist Church of Vaiusu.  

Rather than going through the traditional White Sunday ritual of children performing for their parents, the children from the S.D.A. church Vaiusu performed for the abused children under S.V.S.G’s care at the Campus..

It was an initiative that saw children themselves joining the child protection work for the abused children.  And what better day to begin this important partnership than on the children’s special day on White Sunday.

Led by Pastor Jordy and Puapuaga Salevao, close to 40 Sunday school children and teachers performed for the children; there was singing, dancing, recital of bible verses and skits. 

Pastor Jordy encouraged the children that with God, there is always hope, and despite the different circumstances surrounding their being residence of the Campus, God has a plan for each and everyone of us as per Jeremiah 29:11. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 

To wrap up the children’s celebration, Pastor Salevao presented a cheque of $1,500 as a gift from children of the S.D.A. Vaiusu mission to the children of hope at the Campus.

Joining the group was the Director of the S.D.A. Children and Women’s Ministries in Samoa, Pelenatete Siaki who liaised with S.V.S.G. in coordinating the White Sunday visit.  Earlier this year in June, the S.D.A. Children’s Ministry from Lalovaea also spent Sunday morning service with the children of hope.
