supporting the vision
While in Fiji we adopted twin daughters from St Christopher's Home and our first son was born. Two more sons were born when we returned to Australia. Sadly my husband lost his way and he ended up in prison and we divorced. I was ashamed and deeply saddened. I felt I could not return to Fiji.” Read More

In order for someone to lead he/she has to have a vision, without any vision it is impossible to know where you're heading and the purpose of your existence. Scripture Union is a strategic ministry, which can use its influence to bring together youth churches,

mesu joins brumbies rugby
My name is Mesulame Dolokoto and I just recently came to Canberra after receiving a scholarship from The University of Canberra (UC) and to enter the Brumbies Super Rugby team system. In November last year I was undecided which offer to accept as there were offers from France, West Tigers in Australia and a full scholarship from Hamilton Boys High School in New Zealand. The offer from Brumbies was not concrete at that time so I asked God to help me choose the best. It was a time of waiting and praying. At the end of December the scholarship from UC came through and God told me to choose it. The deal came with a full scholarship to the University of Canberra, payment of visa applications, my airfares and the arrangement for my accommodation. God always has the best in store for those who trust Him. My walk with the Lord was not always easy. Sometimes I would fall at the hands of temptations from my peers but I'm thankful to the Lord for Scripture Union because the camp last year and the fellowships after that really engraved Jesus into my life. I would also like to thank God for the S.U.I.S volunteers and the friends for the midnight fellowships, early morning prayers and the hikes to Mount Korobaba for such events have played a huge role in the growth of my spiritual life. To young people out there, there is no sin God cannot forgive. If you fall, get back up for he has died on the cross for you and I. Being chosen as the SUIS leader last year was a really mammoth task considering the fact that is was a boarding school. Temptations would come and without someone to give you the right advice, it was entirely up to you, and as some would say, it was your "will power". I look back at that season of my life and now i know that God was preparing me for this season. He was moulding me to be a strong Man of God that can conquer temptation even though I'm miles away from my parents, SUIS friends and leaders and the Fellowship groups. To the young people out there, just put God first and he will give you the desires of your heart. Your academic, scholarship, employment, you name it, God will help you through it, only if you trust Him and put Him first. I wish to end with these Bible Verses: Matthew 6:33 - But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. God bless you all. Mesu, Canberra |
