Helen Kim Scholarship recipient and Missions Convenor NZMWF Executive

I am the youngest child of Rev Faletagoa’i and Malaeniu Auva’a. I married Tarrick Walters in 2020 and we are proud godparents to my five-year-old namesake. I am an aunty to five nieces and six nephews.

Born and raised in West Auckland, our family attended Henderson Methodist Church and later we then attended Oratia Methodist Church, both under Sinoti Samoa. This year my father was called to serve as the minister in New Plymouth at Fitzroy Samoan Methodist Church.

I am a certified Lay Preacher and member of our Women’s Fellowship in New Plymouth and Sinoti Samoa. This year I was blessed, humbled and grateful to receive the Helen Kim’s Scholarship through the World Federation of Methodist and Uniting Church Women.

I look forward to what the year brings and I pray that I may continue to be used as God’s servant in this world for his Kingdom.
