EPISODE 12 | CHRIST IN THE COMMUNITY - ANTOINETTE SILIAI TIATIA (SAMOAN) - YOUTH & COMMUNITY WORKER, GYM FANATIC, DAUGHTER OF OTARA & SOUTH AUCKLAND

Mālō le Soifua Maua ma le Lagi e Mamā, Things are opening up even more here in Aukilani but not enough for us to get our usual Podcast out. As we’ve mentioned, the Fresh Truth crew have developed a series of shorter Pods called #ChristintheCommunity, which are done online via ZOOM & are hosted by one of the Fresh Truth brothers - Richy Misilei (Samoan). CHRIST IN THE COMMUNITY highlights how different Christians in our neighbourhoods of South Auckland are representing Jesus, living out their faith, & being salt & light in our communities. Our wonderful guest for this Podcast episode is the wonderful Antoinette Tiatia, Samoan & born & raised in Ōtara, South Auckland (still carrying on that ‘Ōtara’ theme lol). If you have a proper dictionary, next to the words ‘hard worker’, ‘supporting behind the scenes’, ‘slogging it out’, etc., you’ll find Antoinette’s name next to it. Not only does she exhibit these traits in her extensive community work, but also in the gym. Check out this inspiring testimony from our sister in Christ and how her Christianity shapes her work. And oh, we’ve received feedback from people that they want to see faces, so this will be the first episode you’ll see actual people talking, not just the audio. Soifua, ma ia manuia.
