Hey everyone!! My name is Kolina (Lina) Katoanga and I am currently volunteering in Fiji with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), a mission sending organization that allows for all ages and people groups to reach all ages and people groups!
After graduating high school early, I followed where I felt the Lord leading me and ended up in New Zealand to complete YWAM’s Discipleship Training School, spending 3 months learning in New Zealand followed by 2 months serving in the Philippines!
During my time in New Zealand, I experienced spiritual growth and formed lasting God-centered relationships. And serving in the Philippines opened my eyes to different cultures and their need for Jesus and His hope. Now, as I step foot in the Pacific Islands, I desire to foster an environment for locals to be trained to be sent to the ends of the Earth as well as their own backyard through the pioneering and staffing of a completely new YWAM base that God miraculously provided in Suva alongside a group of God-fearing leaders.
Through the Lord’s guidance, this base will prioritize accessibility for local Fijians. Students have the option to pay with goods, like cassava or chicken, for tuition, housing, food, and outreach. Students and staff will together be completely trusting God's provision and sovereignty as well as the words we’ve heard spoken.
Your support in prayer for our ministry is greatly appreciated as my team and I navigate any challenges that may arise. Financial contributions, whether monthly or one-time, are also very appreciated, as we aim to create an environment for God to work in our lives, as well as the lives of the students, and those we encounter, regardless of financial circumstances.
Thank you so much for your partnership and support!
May all be done for His Glory:)
