God is greater than us all & that is proven within the EFKS church realm & Samoan people. No matter where you go, the Samoan Christian people will always be there to support & comfort those during those trying times. We may not be related, we may not have grown up together, but when you're in Need it is the Gospel of Christ that makes it easy for us to lend a helping hand & love one another. It is the Samoan custom, to open our arms & show hospitality to our people or to strangers. From Florida to where they were cared by Tooa Kristin Taylor & Sister Fay--now arriving in Los Angeles, CA to the care of our Samoan Ambassador Tuitogamaatoe Terry Rotter & an EFKS Leader Rev. Elder Liki Tiatia & Family, Baby Miracle will always have her people of Samoa and people of God to thank for their unconditional faith.

This morning, Reverend Elder Liki Tiatia, wife Eseta, Daughters:  Fiailoa, Elesa, Peka, & son Toalua were able to be that comfort & that support to Baby Miracle, her parents Sefulu & Mikaele Nanai & her devoted Sponsor/Aunt: Carol Ah-Chong. Dad, Peka & Fiailoa picked up Miracle, her parents & aunt Carol from the airport and took them to Alpine Village where another devoted community activist, Aunty Terry Rotter, awaited their arrival and of whom asked Dad to pick them up. They had breakfast and were able to share & encourage eachother on their work. It was an emotional breakfast for Rev. Liki as he spoke to the parents. "You are here in this foreign land where you entrusted strangers to better your daughter & you worried. but it is God who oversaw it all & for that we are thankful & grateful." Heart-warming stories and words of strength & blessings were sent to Carol, Sefulu & Mikaele. This is your family, whenever you are in L.A… We are here to help you! Baby Miracle's parents were very grateful and spoke with humility. This is not the end of their work. They must carry on & continue to care for Miracle with the limited resources they have in Samoa. Children are a gift from God and it is our job as parents to care, nurture and guide them to the paths that will portray a successful & blessed future. 

For some like Rev. Liki's daughters,  Peka & Lesa, they felt privilleged to have met God's miracle first hand. Things they take for granted will never be the same. Lesa had the chance to take Carol to Super K-mart to get sanitizer but ended up buying a cartful of clothes, toiletries and goodies for the Baby & the parents. LOL. Malo Lesa!  Perfect strangers, not related but it is through the Love of God they are able to assist a fellow sister in need--away from home. She is truly an angel who continues to fight with the grace of the Lord. God is love & his love heals & protects us all! For that I am grateful. I may not have been at that breakfast or sat in the car with Baby Miracle & everybody but knowing that Miracle was able to find that support from her Samoan people out here is truly a blessing.

Thank you Aunty Terry, Dad, Mom, Loa, Lesa, Toalua & Peka for your warmth & encouragement for this family. O mea e faatauvaa I vaai a le tagata, e sili ona taua ma lalelei I le vaai a le Atua! May God bless Baby Miracle, Sefulu, Mikaele & Carol as they travel back to Samoa tonight! You will all be in our prayers!

Thank you EFKS Dominguez, EFKS Vai Ole Ola & the Tiatia family for your donation to Baby Miracle!
