While our cozy school chapel remains too small to hold us all, we are truly grateful for our Multi-Purpose Hall, which continues to serve as our sacred space for worship.

​A huge thank you to the church groups who consistently visit to provide us with spiritual nourishment. We were especially blessed this morning by the North East PWMU Combine.

Their powerful mission message reminded us all to make time to listen to God’s voice and obey.
​We are all truly blessed!

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Eckron,
​On behalf of the chapel project committee and our entire community, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering heart of service. Your commitment to the Lord’s work is not just seen in your financial gifts, but in the humble spirit with which you serve.
​We remain incredibly moved by your generosity:

(a) ​A Foundation of Support: Last year, your sponsorship of 200,000 VT completely covered the venue for our Gospel Music Night, allowing every vatu raised to go directly toward the chapel.

(b) ​Continued Faithfulness: Your recent donation of 20,000 VT continues to push this vision toward reality.

(c) ​A Humble Tithe: Your decision to dedicate your personal lawn mower as a "tithe of service" to keep the chapel grounds beautiful is a true testament to your character as a staff member at Onesua and a leader in Christ.

​Your "Glory to Jesus Ministry" is already making a profound impact, and we are blessed to witness your journey.

​A Prayer of Blessing

​Heavenly Father, we lift up Mr. and Mrs. Eckron to You today. We thank You for their hands that give and their hearts that love. Lord, as they have poured out so much to care for Your house, we ask that You pour out a double portion of blessing upon theirs.
​We pray specifically for the desire of their hearts: the gift of a child. Lord, You are the giver of life. We ask that You open the doors of heaven and bless this beautiful couple with a child of their own to raise in Your light. May their home be filled with the laughter of a new generation.
​Strengthen their ministry, protect their health, and may they always feel Your presence guiding them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

​Blessings to you both,

The Chapel Project Team

Last worship service today led by Pastor Shem Tamara to mark his last sermon at OPC as chaplain, and at the same time celebrate the age giving as end of year Thanksgiving which purposely dedicated to the OPC chapel project. After the worship, everyone gathered together for a fellowship meal, appreciation and thanks that was organised by the school administration. Thank you Pastor Shem Tamara and families for your contribution to the christian affairs of the school, and particularly with the chapel project committee. And a word of thanks as well to the OPC community for the tireless support we give together towards our chapel project this year. AS Christmas is around; we wanna wish everyone a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year, 2026. God blessed.
