The Assembly of God Church in Malaita Province through a donation has supported the Malaita Provincial Government to help communities affected by Tropical Cyclone Maila.
The donation was officially handed over yesterday morning at the Premier’s Office in Auki, following an appeal by the Malaita Provincial Government to churches, communities, and groups to assist affected sister provinces.
Speaking during the handover, Assembly of God Pastor Joash Maefasia said that although the donation may appear small, it reflects the church’s commitment and compassion for affected communities.
He said other provinces share the same concern and are ready to support one another during times of disaster.
“As brothers and sisters, we are here to support one another,” Pastor Maefasia said, encouraging affected communities to remain strong and seek God’s grace during the difficult period.
He also shared a message of encouragement, urging people not to dwell on what has happened.
Meanwhile, Malaita Provincial Premier Elijah Asilau’a acknowledged and thanked the church for its contribution and support towards the humanitarian appeal.
He said the church’s willingness to assist and help coordinate relief efforts demonstrates strong leadership, compassion, and Christian service during a time of national need.
“Their dedication reflects the spirit of unity and solidarity that is essential in responding to disasters that have deeply affected many families and communities,” the Premier said.
The humanitarian appeal for communities affected by TC Maila in the Western, Shortland, and Isabel provinces remains open, with the deadline set for 15 May 2026.
Individuals, churches, businesses, and organisations are encouraged to support and continue making donations before the deadline.
