The Sigatoka Church sited in a paddock -2 years ago

That’s the dream. To convert a small church in Sigatoka in a paddock to a bustling pre-school.
Rev Daniel and his wife Catherine want to share Gods love with the Sigatoka community. The dream is to open a pre-school/ kindergarten, but they were told they can’t.
Fundraising started with the purchase of fence posts

An open paddock is too dangerous for little children to run around on. You must build a boundary fence around your church first.
Rev Daniel and his son Samson have spent many hours building the fence

That was 2-years ago. Now today, with the Youth, Golden Oldies, a Nelson Sunday School group, and individuals, all together fundraising to partner in this project, the fence is finished.
Slowly but surely the fence continues to take shape

Recently the Youth Mission team saw the final result of the fence completed. And now the Golden Oldies 2014 team are spending a day here sharing in a church service celebration with the local Sigatoka parish. Next year the kindergarten will commence with up to 50-children a day having the thrill of pre-school education from a Christian perspective.
Through the partnership of fundraising and Church members work, the recent Youth Mission saw the final boundary fence now completed!
