We were so honored to be a part of the Citywide Service at UD Arena this past Sunday! We imagine it was just a small glimpse of what heaven will be like rejoicing and praising Jesus as one body!

Thank you Declare and Mosaic Church-Better Together for inviting us to worship with you and share our Samoan culture.

Thank you Grace Elsten for representing your Samoan culture, Malosi Ministries Inc. and Olohana’s Polynesian Dance so well! 🌺❤️

Today was pure cuteness overload as we shared the aloha spirit at Spin-Kemp Christian Preschool! 🌺🥰

It is always so special to watch our youngest dancers share aloha with such boldness, confidence, and joy. Our sweet Laila led the preschoolers in a beautiful Samoan dance, and then our older keiki and kaikua lovingly guided the little ones through a fun and joyful hula. 💕

Today, the preschoolers also learned how to say “hello” in Māori, Hawaiian, and Samoan — spreading smiles, faith, culture, and aloha with every word and every dance step. It was such a heartwarming morning filled with laughter, learning, and beautiful memories!

Mahalo nui loa for welcoming us with so much love. To all our new little friends: A hui hou — have an amazing summer! 🌴🌺🥰

This Sunday May 24th at 6pm we invite you to join us at UD Arena! This will be a beautiful and powerful time as churches from across our city come together as one body to praise, worship, and glorify Jesus. We’ll celebrate the beauty of God’s kingdom through scripture readings in different languages and cultures — and we are especially excited that our very own Grace Elsten will be representing Malosi Ministries Inc. and Olohana’s Polynesian Dance by reading a passage in her native Samoan language.

Come expectant, bring your family and friends, and be part of this incredible gathering of unity, faith, and worship.
