Through the season of Lent, we follow Jesus through the wilderness in preparation for the Resurrection. We fast, pray and work, not to stay where we are in life, but to get to the otherside.
The Spirit forces Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan. On the other side of the wilderness, Jesus announces that the kingdom of God is at hand. Trust the Spirit this Lent as God leads us to the other side.
Guest Preacher: Rev. Dr. Siosaia Tu’itahi (West District Superintendent)
Rev. Saia (for short) brings a deep spirituality and compassionate ministry to the West District. He is the current California-Pacific Conference Chairperson for the Pacific Islander’s Commission, and the first Pacific Island District Superintendent for our annual conference. He is a graduate of the University of California, San Diego, and completed a BA in Biochemistry and Cell Biology in 1989.
Saia began a career in the San Diego County Probation Department that lasted until 2000, when he responded to an increasing sense of call into to the ministry. He attended the Claremont School of Theology where he received both his Master of Divinity (M.Div.) and Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degrees.
While yet a student, Saia was appointed to Tolutasi Pacific Islanders UMC in July 2003 until June 2008, when he was appointed to Santa Ana UMC. He has served in numerous committees in the Annual Conference and on the General Church level.
He is married to Monalisa Salakielu Tu’itahi (our first elected lay delegate to General Conference) and they are parents to four wonderful children.
