The All Nations Christian Fellowship successfully hosted a two-day Epic 7s Tournament over the weekend at Prince Charles Park, which concluded yesterday. The event drew large crowds and aimed to raise funds for building a new church. It showcased thrilling rugby action, featuring 20 senior men’s teams, 24 U21 teams, and five women’s teams, all competing for a noble cause.
This tournament is part of the church’s three-year plan to gather between $30,000 and $35,000 needed for constructing a new place of worship in Suva. The church community aimed to raise between $20,000 and $25,000 from the tournament, and organizers expressed their excitement about the turnout and the support received.

We already have land in Suva but need to construct our church, with a budget of approximately $30,000 to $35,000. We are working on a three-year plan and hope to raise $20,000 to $25,000 from these two days of the 7s tournament.”
