A story about the girls heard in every Samoan living room, celebration and festival., The Mika Sisters share their lives as musicians in missionary.
Names: Racheal (27), Joanna (29) and Priscilla (31)
Nationality: Half Samoan, half Maori
The Mika sisters were born and raised in Auckland. Their father served in the Methodist church of New Zealand up until the late nineties before breaking off into a smaller sub denomination, the ‘New Methodist Church of Jesus Christ’.
They have four brothers, one of whom passed away. Their late brother Luke, the firstborn in the family, tragically died in a car accident at the age of two. Following the accident, their father went into a coma and when he regained consciousness, had a new found revelation to spread God’s news. Joanna Mika describes the tragedy as a turning point in her parents’ lives who repented and came to God, eventually taking on the call of ministry.
The Mika sisters were the classic singing family who followed their Pastor father, supporting his sermons through song. They became missionaries at a young age and travelled around the world ministering the gospel. Throughout their childhood they ministered in Africa, Singapore, Pakistan, Israel, America, England, Finland, Australia, Solomon Islands and Samoa, sometimes travelling for months at a time.
They each went through rebellious phases during their teenage years, under the pressure and high expectations of the church community while longing for independence and freedom. During this time Joanna became a young teen mother, marrying at a young age. Racheal also became a young mother and later married while Priscilla enjoyed the night club social scene. Despite their lifestyle choices and the judgement they were subjected to within the church, they continued to support their father in church.
Although she had a completely different upbringing, their Maori mother fully assumed the traditional Samoan role of a Faletua. She has always actively supported their father in his service to the Ministry and also in upholding Samoan culture and traditions within the family home. Currently both Racheal and Joanna are living in New Zealand and continue to support their Father’s church. Priscilla is living in Melbourne, Racheal is her father’s caregiver and sings in a night club, and Joanna is a Teacher and freelance Actor/Singer.

Crying (beautiful story)
Thank you so much for sharing your story with the world. I got all emotional watching this. Through the lowest of lows and over the highest of mountains, there is nothing like FAMILY. Bless you all xx
Amazing story! Beautiful voices and so much talent of the Mika Sisters! Thank you for sharing!
This is so beautiful. I remember always listening to "The Mika Sisters" CD at my aunty's house. Beautiful talent, and even knowing they sing in church right now is amazing. I know that it's typical of islanders to look down especially on the PK's because everyone thinks that they are the so-called "Angels" of the church, and should be the perfect kids! But we're all human at the end, and we all make choices like everyone else. This is exactly how I feel a lot. I grew up singing in the church, and my old man still has the mentality of "You better not do this, you better not do that!" But I know he loves me! Thanks CoconetTV for this series because it sheds light on others who do not know the struggles and the hardship of these people. Much love guys
Def emotional watching this. Thank u sisters for sharing your journey. Your fathers faith is so encouraging to all of us whilst listening to your missionary work. Praise God for the work he has done in your lives & all he continues to do! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
