Made me tear up abit, growing up you tend to forget how you got to where you are no, both physicically and spiritually. I now have realised that as I send this message to you, that each and everyone of us has great sacrifice made by those before us! I have come far, from Samoa to NZ to Australia, and seemed to have forgotten the sacrifice that has been made for me to be here today at the point where I am. God sent Tofiga to share his story, God asked to record Tofigas life speech and God has led me and many others to this video, so that we are reminded of the sacrifice of others! I will also leave my message of always being Respectful to others, and give as many good deeds to others as you can! I am only 17 and I am thankful to hear Gods word now rather than later in life, Thank God, and God bless!
I'm so amazed of how my grandparents came to the US from Samoa back in the days. They accomplished so much more than I have as a born & raised US citizen. I'm going to tap into that strength & work ethics that run through my veins. Thanks Tofiga for the reminder.
I grew up in Otara mum been there now 47 years. My Step dad is from Apia in Samoa and been together with my mum for nearly 39 years. He is everything to me.
Kia ora Rangatira,Beautiful story just seen this today 17/07/2023 .Congrats and hope all our young people will see this,watch this and do what’s great for them.Tu tonu tu te kaha Kia kaha.

Bring tears to my eyes.Thank you so much for sharing Tofiga, I can relate to so many things you talk about, powerful words, strong message. Thank God for our parents, wish my mum is still here with me. God bless bro, thanks for sharing.
It is only when we remember the sacrifices made by our parents and grandparents that we can know, for sure, where we what direction we want to take our lives...and do it with respect for ourselves and those who came before us. What an inspiring message Tofiga gave to us in this.
Listening to his story left me in tears. it made me realise how much my parents have sacrificed their life for the family. I feel like I am listening to my own story.
Father. i ask that you forgive me for all my sins. I believe that you died on the cross for all my sins and rose again on the third day. Lord today I make you Lord of my life. Come and live inside of my heart i recieve you now as my personal savior in Jesus name amen!
WOW....your Dad did really well in English speaking country and to have 2 jobs...I'm maori i just been to Tonga for 2weeks with a Tongan friend with limited english but we could communicate enough to understand each other. I found it hard when you hear a different language spoken all around and you don't know what's been said so your Dad did really "Well"...God blessed him.....Love your humour....ps I was so chuffed to see you on a billboard in Tonga it was like yeah...I know that face👍 God bless you brother😇
Love it so beautiful.. good message too..thanks Tofiga for sharing Tofiga God is good all the time..all the time God is good..God bless brother.. much alofas..cheers..
Now that you talk about it and now that I think about it Makes me realise how important my parents are and my family Thank you tofiga for the very inspirational story God bless
wow awesome inspirational words, I watched this thinking at the end I would be laughing but instead I was crying. So inspiring with pure truth, preach on brother I could listen to you all day. And after this I will take every opportunity that comes my way. god bless
Thanks Tofiga for the basic information of your life I haven't watched this story of yours but it's a blessing I found it on TH-cam just now and me tears reminds me my parents. Now i am a pastors wife so true no dramas qualifications but aoga aso sa ma lau tauloto was enough to show our talents and gifted from the man above. Thanks again Tofiga GB ❤ ❤
Amen. Tofiga is so right about our samoan parents. Samoans are very different to the other islanders because of our faith in God and the unique way our parents raise us. You could be raised in america, aus, nz, sa etc but all us samoans are brought up with the same values. This is such a great encouragement. God bless you all
Good word, Taking advantage of what God puts in front of you, when God Is In It, There is NO LIMIT, God Bless You Bro Tofiga, To all If there was ever a moment in your life that you felt all else failed, please Believe in God and what He can do for You, Jesus Loves us all, God Bless you Brother Tofiga, I'am Blessed. Jesus is the ANSWER. Thank You. "GOD is REAL"
What a wonderful heartfelt testimony of your life Tofiga. Your infectious sense of humor is by no means the only or the most important gift God has given you. You have inherited your forebears gift of reaching the lost through the power of His word. Fa'afetai lava, God bless you.
