History was made in Fiji as the groundbreaking ceremony of the 19th InnerCity Mission School unfolded in a vibrant, spirit-filled event filled with hope, joy, and gratitude. Proudly sponsored and hosted by Esteemed Pastor Biodun Lawal, and hosted by Esteemed Pastor Biodun Lawal and our institutional partners in Christ Embassy South America, New Zealand, and the South Pacific Region, this milestone marks a new chapter of love and transformation for Fiji’s most vulnerable children.
The project promises to bring 100% free quality education, daily meals, and the love of Christ to children who otherwise may never have had such opportunities. The school project is projected to be completed in less than one year, with resumption slated for September 2026.
The ceremony began with an opening prayer, followed by a powerful message from the Director of the InnerCity Mission, who passionately declared the vision: “Every child is your child.” Her words resonated deeply, reminding everyone present of our shared responsibility to nurture, uplift, and give hope to the indigent child.
One of the highlights of the day was when Esteemed Pastor Biodun Lawal, the host and chief sponsor, shared his heart. Through his visionary leadership and unwavering partnership, children across Fiji are stepping into a glorious new future filled with possibility and promise.
The celebration continued with a cultural dance performance by the locals, a heartfelt display of gratitude for the bright future that lies ahead. Adding to the momentous occasion, Mr. Felix, Executive Chairman of the National Town Council, gave a goodwill address, acknowledging the impact of this project on the community.
A truly historic moment came with the ceremonial handover of the land documents to the Inner-City Mission Director, Esteemed Pastor Omoh Alabi.
This was followed by the official groundbreaking, where dignitaries picked up shovels and poured sand, symbolizing the beginning of construction for what will soon become a beacon of learning, hope, and love.
As the ceremony reached its peak, there was no doubt this was more than just an event; it was a declaration of faith, love, and the power of partnership.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Highest Esteemed Pastor Biodun Lawal and every dedicated partner in the region. Truly, you are history makers and trailblazers, rewriting the destinies of children and shaping a brighter future for Fiji.
