Korobu SDA Church: I Will Go to the End of the World Revival Week Ends Sunset Today...

The five major Seventh-day Adventist Churches in Tarawa united this past week in a revival program to prepare for a major community outreach initiative organised by the Kiribati SDA Mission, set to take place later this month.

Among them, the Korobu SDA Church concluded its spirit-filled revival this evening at sunset, marking the end of a powerful week of spiritual renewal.

The revival was filled with emphasis on the Gospel commission of Jesus Christ, heartfelt prayer, uplifting singing, testimonies of faith, and moments of fasting — all aimed at strengthening members for the mission ahead.

The outreach program will focus on reaching homes and communities that have not been engaged before, in line with the revival theme: “I Will Go to the End of the World.”

As part of the mission, church members will offer free health screenings to help address two of Kiribati’s biggest health concerns — diabetes and hypertension.

Korobu Church Lay Minister, Kauaba Nabura, expressed the church’s commitment to meeting both the physical and spiritual needs of the community. “Our goal is to bring healing and hope as we reach out,” he said. “We are following the example of Jesus in His earthly ministry — caring for the health and well-being of the people. Through health screenings, we aim to identify the most pressing needs and respond with compassion and practical support.”

UUTI Program Brings High School Students from Kiribati to the USA to study....

In a significant development for youth education and international exchange, the United States has welcomed a group of high school students from the Pacific island nation of Kiribati through the UUTI program.

The initiative aims to enhance students' English proficiency, workforce readiness, and cultural understanding.”

“The UUTI program, which stands for 'Uaiakinan ao Uarokoan Toronibwaia I-Kiribati,' meaning 'Awakening the Youth of Kiribati,' is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of State and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).

Funded by a $29.1 million investment from MCC, the program is part of the broader Kiribati Threshold Program, designed to improve economic opportunities for the people of Kiribati.”

“This year, the program has brought 108 I-Kiribati students to the United States and Fiji.

The first cohort of 50 students arrived in Seattle, Washington, in June for a month-long Youth Skills Camp at the University of Washington.

The camp focused on intensive English language training, workplace behavior, information and communication technology (ICT) skills, and leadership development.

Students also participated in community service projects and cultural exchange activities, including homestays with local families.”

“Later this summer, another group of 50 students will attend a three-week Youth Skills Camp in Fiji, emphasizing similar skill-building and cultural immersion.

Additionally, eight students will embark on a year-long academic exchange program in the United States, living with host families and attending U.S. high schools.”

“The UUTI program is part of the MCC-Kiribati Threshold Program, which aims to equip Kiribati youth with critical work readiness skills to enhance their preparedness and competitiveness in the international labor market.

The program is implemented by American Councils for International Education in cooperation with the Kiribati Ministry of Education.”

“The UUTI program represents a significant step in fostering global understanding and providing I-Kiribati youth with opportunities to develop skills that will benefit both their personal growth and their communities back home.”
