Reverend Senituli ‘o e Lotu Koloi in 1978

Reverend Senituli Koloi (1926-1979) was a Methodist minister serving in the Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga.

He received his theological training at the Sia’atoutai Theological College in Tonga, and also at the Pacific Theological College in Suva, Fiji.  He was a powerful preacher with significant results.  Coupled with his effective preaching was his very dynamic healing ministry, which never failed to bring hundreds, if not thousands, into the Kingdom of God.  Some amazing healings did take place in his healing ministry, but Senituli greatly emphasised the importance of the changing of the inner man.  He was a man of great humility, full of compassion and ardent advocate of the Lordship of Jesus Christ.  He was indeed a man of God and stood for personal holiness.  A prayer warrior, he strongly advocated daily Bible reading through the Scripture Union, of which he was chosen president in 1970.  He was an exemplary pastor and a visionary as well.  In 1978 he felt led of God to establish a new church with an emphasis on the Lordship of Christ.  Senituli has definitely had a significant impact on the life of the church in Tonga.

In his itinerant preaching, he covered the whole of Tonga and also went on to preach and lead camps in Australia, New Zealand, Hawai’i and mainland USA.
