 Greatest Achievement:

 Reading the Bible from cover to cover: Not one that embraces reading, I found it quite a challenge. Set goal that had to be achieved however long it took. Had to endure boredom and self-discipline in order to achieve objective. Through God's guidance a new zeal was bestowed in me to learn the Truth of the Word of God.

 Personal Testimony

 In my Christian pilgrimage, I had become frustrated being tossed to and fro by varying opinion of every Bible Teacher who, through no fault of their own, was trying to teach the Bible as they saw it. They all seemed correct but there was no consensus among denominational beliefs and what the the Bible declares. This troubled me so much that I was determined not to be misled anymore. In retrospect, I believe, I was led to read the Bible and to seek Him and discover the wonderful mystery of the Gospel for myself as God was the superintended for this new change. I wanted the truth; God's truth. (Interestingly enough, my involvement was stemmed from a group that organized to help send food and clothing to Samoa in the aftermath of the 1991 hurricane. We were sponsored by a congregation that was into studying the Bible. Through that association, I became more and more aware of the Bible and it's essentiality. God led me to a faithful Bible teacher, that for the most part, is very faithful to the expository study of the Bible. For the last 6 to 7 years I have been studying the Bible every opportunity I get. It has become an oasis that provides wellsprings of peace and calm in my life. As a result of all this God has enabled me to build a website: A ministry that minister to those whom the Lord would send, especially but not limited to our Samoan people. My one goal is to teach the Word of God wherever God sends me. "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" 1Corinthians 9:16 May all the glory be unto God the Almighty.

 Acknowledgements

 Other than my late parents; Papu and Luma Tuiasosopo, I owe much to my late grandfather, Le Afioga Fulu Misiata whose teachings were so dear and valuable to me. I also want to acknowledge the late Le susuga Tagaloa Siaosi Kerslake and the late Le Afioga Asi Fa'amatala Faleto'ese, for their guardianship in my youth during my early years when I was growing up in Samoa.

Bible Mentor

 I wish to acknowledge Elder Harold Camping who was very instrumental in mentoring me in to how to study the Bible. Elder Camping is a well known Christian author, a Bible Teacher and host of the Open Forum; a call-in question and answer program about the Bible. He is also the President of Family Stations Inc., a Worldwide Christian Radio Television and Internet Broadcasting Ministry. <www.familyradio.com>

  Current Project

 In the "Bible Study" section on our website, God has given me a phenomenal responsibility to teach about the significance of the number "seven" as God uses it throughout the Bible. I have completed and posted a preliminary study to this in Matthews 22:23-34 on our website. (Please check it out for your edification) A concurrent study of Revelation 5 is forthcoming which really demonstrates what God intended when He uses the number seven in the Bible pointing to the opening of the seventh seal and how this applies to the believer. The significance of this study is the fact that I have never read about anything about any of the early writers of the faith discussing anything about this concept, but it's right there in the Bible. (Romans 16:25 ¶ Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,) I am deeply humbled by God's appointment as He helps us unravel this mystery that has been closed until now. This period is called the "Latter rain" which the proliferation of the Gospel is through Radio, TV and especially the Internet which was never before open to us. We don't know anything, we just trust God as he uses us for His glory.

Perspective

 Therefore it is my hope that through this internet medium , Lord willing, that an unbiased resource be made available for anyone to enquire anonymously about some hard issues of the Bible regardless of denominational affiliations and truthfully examine any and all questions about the Bible. Because the Bible is the unquestionable Word of God, it must be our the authority in any spiritual question we may have. This must be our premise. We pray that the Lord will grant us the eyes to see and the ears to hear the truth, if he would be so merciful.

 In any witnessing for Christ we are reminded from Romans 10: 13-17; 13 " For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

These verses describes the nature of this work in a nutshell; In order for anyone to be saved they must call out to God. They cannot call out to God unless they know why they need to call; and that is because of their unpaid sins. They cannot be aware of their unpaid debt unless they are told. They cannot be told unless someone goes and tells them about the Lord Jesus Christ who became a ransom for sins. No one can go to to tell unless they have beautiful feet. [saved] They cannot have beautiful feet unless they have been washed by the water of the Gospel. (This is the act as in John 13 "washing the feet of His disciples" which spiritually means that our will (feet) has been broken [washed] and have been made willing to do the will of the Father) Beautiful feet is the result of the believer whom God has saved and whose will is broken to go out to do the will of the Father; teach and preach the Word of God. This results in the hearing of the Gospel whereby we become aware to call out to God for help. That is why it all goes back to God. Unless God give us the understanding of his Word as He allows it, otherwise there is nothing we can do. God must be our Shepherd, the Author and Finisher of our salvation.

As God helps us do His will, our witnessing must be beyond denominational divides. Our authority must be from God His Word, the Bible. We will not intentionally promote any denominational doctrines other than what the Bible declares. That is why this opportunity via the Internet is a call of God because we can speak to a vast audience across denominational boundaries that we may be all confined to, without hindrances and let God speak to each individual as He chooses. Anonymously, anyone can ask questions regarding what they are taught and we can scrutinize it based on the Word of God to see whether it is faithful. Our allegiances must be to God's truth not to an individual or denomination. Because of our love and respect for our people we set aside any worldly honor or humanitarian recognition to serve anyone that needs help through the guidance of His holy Spirit. With this we let the apostle Paul speak for us from (Colossians 1:25-28 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: )This is our hope for all our people. Ia pule alofa le Atua ia maua e Samoa a lautele se fa'amanuiaga mai Lona malo pe a tusa ai ma Lona finagalo autasi. Soifua.
