Come hear how God began the student movement in Guam and what ministry looks like in this culturally complex island in Micronesia. This all started with a student at the last Urbana! Could God have similar plans for you?
Sam Hala'ufia grew up in a Christian family in the San Francisco Bay Area and joined InterVarsity as a student at UC Merced. After graduation, he began working with InterVarsity at universities in California (UC Merced and Stanislaus State) before transitioning to InterVarsity Link. Sam’s now planting an IFES movement in Guam and is planning to restart the student work in Tonga. Being of Tongan descent, he hopes and prays for the continued gospel work to grow across Pasifika.
