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

Mudreilagi's journey of faith
Ruth Mudreilagi was the head-girl of Suva Grammar School in 2013. This was also her final year at the school and apart from her leadership and achievement, Ruth attended the Annual Scripture Union camp at Jasper Williams High School. Her final year in school and also her last camp as a student. Early this year, Ruth left for Brisbane, Australia to continue her studies and work towards a Bachelor of Civil Engineering and Environment Management. Ruth is an emerging young leader, and being the daughter of Basden College Principal and SU Council Member, Master Mika Mudreilagi, Ruth is on her way to becoming an influence in the Kingdom of God. Faith Seed recently caught up with Ruth and asked for her testimony.
Bio data: Second eldest of six siblings Koro: I hail from the beautiful island of Keteira Moala Lau vasu i Vunikodi Vanualevu. Educational Achievements: Primary school in Annesley Primary Sch (Cl 1-3), Suva Methodist Pri Sch (Cl 4) and finished off in Veiuto Primary School. Completed Secondary studies in SGS and was blessed to be chosen as a prefect in F5&6 and as the head girl in F7. Was also Form Captain from F3 right through to F7& was elected as house captain for red house. Journey With the Savior King I gave my life when I was in F5, had my fair share of downfalls (John 16:33), made a re-commitment when I was in form 7 and was baptized on my 18th birthday by none other than my Dad! Accepting Jesus as my personal Savior was the best decision I've ever made!! And where I am today is all because of Gods unmerited favour and unconditional love. (Jeremiah 29:11) SUIS experiences and Annual Camp life changing event Yes I was lucky enough to be introduced into SUIS by Dad at an early age and came to be Vice President of the SGSCF under the leadership of John Tuivanuakula. I have a passion for dancing and through SUIS I was able to express that. SUIS had a large impact in my life because amid the hectic duties in school and peer pressure it somewhat kept me sane and I saw it as a safe haven that i could always turn too. It also was a platform where i could share the gospel, extend His kingdom & work alongside others for the betterment of rival schools like Marist and Grammar. Attending the annual camp for the first time in all my high school years was a life changing experience! I mean this because my perception was that it was "Just another Christian camp" What I didn't know was that this special camp (in my opinion) that was a "MUST ATTEND" thanks to Dad was going to change me; from forgiving wholeheartedly and letting go of things that had hurt me in the past to building my Christian faith drastically, I consider myself blessed to have attended camp. Being the only proud Grammarian attending, this also gave me an opportunity to meet new people and make life long friendships with Christian brothers and sisters. I also got to hear inspirational testimonies from Ticia Konusi, Mrs Maraiya Tavui and other individuals and to them I am grateful. I also got to see God work in the life of others and feel peace that this world could not offer when i drew into His presence. Advice to young people Ecc 12:1 'Remember now your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of dismal come..' and Pro 3:7-8 'Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.' Meditate on His word day and night, pray without ceasing, seek first the kingdom of Go, get wisdom and go M.A.D!! Support for the work of SU Yes I definitely believe that people should sow into SU in schools because you are equipping the future generation with Godly principles who will than go out into the world be of good influence and simply because a flourishing life will add to or enhance the work of the Lord. THIS IS OUR GREAT COMMISSION. "The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you his peace." |
