I grew up in the Catholic family on island of Tonga. I am from the family of eight children. I moved to Auckland, New Zealand when he was sixteen and I got married there to Kolotile.

From November 1996 to November 2001 he was the pastor of First Assembly of God church in Euless, while I was with vision of International University in its School of Theology. In January 2002 he was the substitute teacher in Euless Junior High School HEB ISD working with Delta Airlines reservation center in evenings and weekends working as the realtor. I have my license yet Texas Real Estate. As my family grew and my friends thought I was going to be the priest.

I inherited this church with $ 2.49 in all your accounts with more than three thousand dollars floating. Since he took charge of church I felt like I've grown spiritually where I see growth. Nine of my children are involved in ministry, of being in chorus of praise and worship team, one plays piano while other takes praise and worship team, four are in band.
