The Methodist Church in Fiji and Rotuma is concerned about the high number of non-Christians in the country mainly in the Indo Fijian community.

The President of the Methodist Church, Reverend Epineri Vakadewavosa says this will be one of the issues they will be discussing today in their Annual General Meeting.

Vakadewavosa says they have invited a Bishop from India to be part of the meeting where he will give them some pointers on how to evangelize people so that they can know God.

He says they are also concerned about the high number of Christians that are moving away from the Methodist Church and joining other denominations.

Vakadewavosa adds that people have the right to choose whichever faith they want to believe in but believing in the truth about Jesus and how much he has done for them can make a real impact in their lives.

Vakadewavosa says they will also be electing the President, General Secretary, the General Superintendent, Assistant General Superintendent and other new office bearers during the meeting today.

He adds that they will take up their new roles after the meeting on Friday.

The President says some government officials will also be present in the meeting such as the Ministry of Women, Children, and Poverty Alleviation, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Forestry, Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Lands where they will be discussing issues related to their ministries.

The Annual Conference Meeting will begin today and ends on Friday.
