Thousands of Adventists united for a special time of worship, praise and inspiration during the annual #weRtheCHURCH program on August 2, 2024.

Individuals, churches, universities, and family groups gathered to watch the program from across the South Pacific and beyond.

Alex Currie, one of the many viewers, expressed his appreciation via the chat line, writing, “Great stories from people whose lives have been transformed by the gospel.”

Noelyn Maesua found inspiration in the testimonies, posting, “Powerful testimonies shared. Thank you, Pacific Adventist University (PAU) choir, for the beautiful messages in song. God is so good.” Clare Kokinai also shared her joy, commenting, “So blessed to be part of this wonderful program tonight.”

Motulu Jack Pedro added, “It is indeed an amazing blessing listening and watching the program. Thanking and praising God for everything He is doing in the Church.”

This year’s program was filmed on the PAU campus and hosted by Glenn Townend, South Pacific Division president, and PAU students Mele Kauvaka and Gary Iga. They were joined by PAU student choirs. This year’s theme was “I Will Go and Celebrate His Goodness,” with the program being screened on digital platforms and on Hope Channel. Stories featured included PNG for Christ, a New Zealand wellness hub, ADRA’s 40th anniversary, and a historic Bible collection that has been donated to the SPD. A notable first for the program was a testimony shared through sign language.

Following the event a half-hour Prayer with the President session was held on Zoom.
