From hot to cold: Samoan Missionaries start new church in Alaska

Pastor Su’e Su’e, his wife Antonina and their children have moved from Samoa to begin a Samoan-language church in Whittier, Alaska.

The newly founded church is Malamalama Fou, which translates as “New Light Church.”

In August, the first-time pastor and his family moved up to Alaska. “We did everything by faith,” said Su’e, “Everything is new to us.” Challenges have arisen, including the icy roads, but his vision for the church sustains him. Su’e and his family live in Anchorage and commute down to Whittier every weekend for Saturday evening Bible study and Sunday morning service. They hope to move to Whittier early next year.
