Witness March & Opening Service for Bible Month 2025

Bible Month 2025 began with a vibrant Witness March and Opening Service on Sunday, 29 June. Close to 200 people from various churches around Suva came together in a public show of unity and faith, marching from the Suva Flea Market to Centenary Church on Stewart Street.

The service featured Rev. Dr. Semisi Turagavou, President of the Methodist Church in Fiji, as the guest speaker. He delivered an inspiring message focused on using the Word of God to see the world, encouraging believers to anchor their perspective in Scripture.

The gathering brought together members of the Fiji Council of Churches, including:

  • Methodist Church in Fiji

  • The Salvation Army

  • St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church

  • Fiji Baptist Convention

Also present were representatives from Pentecostal churches, such as the Assemblies of God, along with members of the Fiji Mission Board.

A major highlight of the service was the launch of the “Rebuild the Mission” fundraising campaign, a Bible Society initiative aimed at renovating and rebuilding the Bible House on Luke Street, Nabua—a vital step towards strengthening Bible ministry operations in Fiji.

The atmosphere was uplifted by the Centenary Choir, who led the congregation in powerful worship throughout the service.

The Bible Society of the South Pacific (BSSP) was represented by Ms. Teupola Waqainabete, Project Officer and Communications Officer, who delivered the BSSP address. She shared key highlights of the Society’s work and upcoming events for the Bible Month 2025 celebration.

The event was also covered by Fiji Sun, ensuring wider visibility and public engagement in this significant start to Bible Month.
