The SPD community bids farewell to Pastor Lasarusa and his family, honoring their dedicated service, spiritual leadership, and unwavering faith throughout their years at AIIAS. Their time here has been marked by deep relationships, cultural diversity, and ministry growth, shaping both their lives and the community they’ve served.

Over the years, the Senikau’s family has built lasting friendships, embraced the richness of cross-cultural unity, and strengthened their spiritual walk alongside AIIAS Missionaries and local church leaders. Among their cherished memories are the international potlucks, where they delighted in sharing meals from different cultures, and the Dawn Prayer gatherings at the Bell Tower, a tradition Pastor Lasa initiated in 2023, bringing renewal and unity through prayer. Their journey also took them beyond the walls of AIIAS on four mission trips across the Philippines, where they witnessed God’s transformative work firsthand.

As they prepare to return to Fiji, they do so with full trust in God's plan, looking forward to new opportunities in ministry while carrying with them the lessons learned and the faith strengthened within the SPD community. Their presence has deepened the bonds of fellowship, inspiring many through their kindness, leadership, and commitment to serving God.

Their departure marks the end of a treasured chapter but the beginning of a new mission. The SPD community stands with them in prayer and support, knowing that their impact will continue to ripple beyond these walls. As we say farewell, we do so with gratitude, honoring their ministry, love, and unwavering dedication. Their journey continues, but the legacy they leave within the SPD community will never be forgotten.
