Le Tama e oi le lagi, ua e valaauina i matou, o ni soo a lau afio matou taumulimuli ma tautua ia te oe. Aoao ia i matou le Alii e. Taitai matou i ala o lau amiotonu, aua o lau afio o lo matou faaolataga, ona o Iesu lo matou Alii,

The Youth of All Saints Youth, Apia, Samoa.

We are the Youth members of the All Saints Anglican Church in Samoa. We meet once a week, at the Church Hall to discuss activities for the year, such as fundraising, bible studies, and other social activities. We hope to increase the number of youth members attending and participating in the all the youth activities and meetings, and especially for all young people to know and have faith in the word as well have salvation. Please pray for all young people to have a thirst for the Word and for them to learn more about our Saviour Jesus Christ; That their minds and hearts are not easily tempted by the many worldly things or activities that seems to be taking a lot of their times these days. Moreover please pray for them to make time for the Lord, because it is getting harder these days to get them to come to church and to participate in the youth activities.
