FAITH IN ACTION
At the heart of 1TOUCH Ministries’ community projects is Lenny and Tai’s shared commitment to seeing people, families and communities thrive. Together, they put faith into action by creating opportunities for people to strengthen their wellbeing, invest in their relationships and grow with purpose.
Their work spans community health initiatives across Samoa, FITMAN conferences and couples retreats. Through exercise, nutrition education, village outreach and opportunities for honest conversation and encouragement, these projects bring people together to address real challenges and take practical steps towards positive change.
For Lenny and Tai, this work is about walking alongside people, strengthening the support they have around them and equipping them to carry what they learn into everyday life. Their work creates opportunities for people to connect, grow and support one another—building stronger families and communities.

HEALTH
Building a Healthier Samoa
1TOUCH Ministries led community health initiatives across Samoa, uniting families, government agencies, local leaders and health organisations to help prevent obesity, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases.
Through bootcamps, school-based Nobesity programmes for children, community walks and village visits in partnership with health professionals, 1TOUCH brought practical health education and support directly to communities.
Grounded in Pastor Solomona’s vision to transform lives from the inside out, these programmes combined physical activity, nutrition education and spiritual wellbeing to change mindsets and help families make healthier choices together—one family and one village at a time.

CONFERENCES
FITMAN Conference
FITMAN Conference brings the gospel of Jesus Christ to all men, equipping and empowering them through the Holy Spirit to live out God’s purpose and calling for their lives. Having been held in Apia, Samoa, Hamilton and Wellington, FITMAN takes its name and foundation from 1 Thessalonians 5:23:
“May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together-spirit-soul-body-and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ.”
At its heart is the conviction that Christlikeness and manhood are synonymous. FITMAN calls men to become whole in spirit, soul and body, growing into transformational men and leaders who reflect Christ in their families, churches and communities.
MARRIAGE
Couples Retreats
Strong Marriages, Strong Families
Lenny and Tai’s couples retreats reflect their belief that strong marriages help build strong families. Centred on faith, connection and intentional time together, the retreats give couples space to step away from everyday demands and invest in their relationship.
Through honest conversation, shared reflection and encouragement, couples are invited to strengthen communication, deepen their understanding of one another and renew their shared purpose. With Christ at the centre, the focus is on nurturing love, trust and commitment that carry into everyday married and family life.
