Our schools are a very important factor in our work. We want to educate our youth so that they will work in harmony with the mind and the will of God. We desire to help them to prepare their hearts to work in harmony with Jesus Christ, the great Teacher. In support of His teachings He could say, "It is written." He carried the light of truth wherever He went. So our students, after they have received a training, will be ready to be transferred from the school to mission fields in all parts of the world. These fields are opening, and calls for help are coming from every side more than we can supply. Let everyone take an interest in this matter, and let all who can do so make free-will offerings to help in the purchase of this property. {1MR 337.2}
We desire to see in this place an institution where many youth shall be educated to go forth as missionaries for the Lord. We hope to see a marked revelation of the salvation of God. And this we shall see if we will open our hearts and purses to help in this matter. Ms. 9, 1909, pp. 1-6. (The Buena Vista School Property, February 6, 1909.) {1MR 338.2}
THE FIJIAN BURE (house)
“Those who seek to remove the old landmarks are not holding fast; they are not remembering how they have received and heard. Those who try to bring in theories that would remove the pillars of our faith concerning the sanctuary or concerning the personality of God or of Christ are working as blind men. They are seeking to bring in uncertainties and to set the people of God adrift without an anchor.” E White, MS 760, p 9,10 - To Build Upon the Foundation.
WELCOME - BULA VINAKA, NAMASKAR
Welcome to the Living Waters Mission School - Fiji website. The aim of this school is to prepare men and women for missionary work equipping them with the fundamentals of Biblical Christianity. The focus is on the prophetic books of Daniel & Revelation and the last day messages of the three angels of Revelation chapter 14.
While the emphasis on Spiritual health is important, it cannot be divorced from Biblical principles related to physical well-being. The school is, therefore, a medical missionary outpost where students also learn preventative health principles and simple health remedies.
We believe that a school such as this, established in the islands provides the opportunity for brethren from more affluent countries to experience missionary activity and at the same time enjoy the "hardships" and beauty of the tropics.
Fiji is in the South Pacific and a multicultural country. Indigenous Fijians comprise the majority of the population of just over 900,000, with descendants of indentured Indian labourers being the next most populous. There is also a sprinkling of various Polynesian groups, Chinese and Europeans. With your help we can fulfil the Jesus' request: “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matt 9:38
We appeal to our brethren of like faith to support this school in prayer and offerings, a most needful project for the pacific islands and dare we say, the world.
“The Lord could create an abundance of means for the carrying forward of His work. He could furnish the means without asking His people to make any sacrifice. The gold and the silver is His. All that we possess, even our own souls and bodies, are His. But the Lord has never worked this way. You remember how, when the sanctuary was to be built in the wilderness, He called on all the people to make their free will offerings. And they all wanted a part in the blessing. They gave until the leaders could say, "It is enough. Bring no more offerings."
“So we desire to see every soul of our people have a share in the blessing that comes from returning to the Lord that which is His own. There is a blessing in it for everyone who will act his part. When we come up to the time for settlement, and they say to us, "Here is the deed," we want to be able to reply, "Here is the money." {1MR 337.3 - 338.1}
It is important to be aware that this school is established on the fundamentals of Historic Adventism, hence is non-trinitarian in its view of the Godhead.
We thank you very much for your support and welcome your help in any way including a stint in Fiji with whatever talent the Lord has blessed you.
For those of you who might have some concerns with the food, fear not, for the islands are an ideal place to be a total vegetarian with the many and varied produce of fruit, vegetables, starches, grains and of course an abundance of coconuts. A banana is not a banana, neither a pawpaw a pawpaw or a pineapple a pineapple until you’ve sampled the island produce. The Fiji experience will not only be a Spiritual feast but a gastronomic one as well.
May the Lord bless you abundantly above all you can ask or think. See you in Fiji
