Lifeline Tonga is a non-denominational service of the Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga. It is led by Rev. Fili Lilo, and a group of committed staff and volunteers who seek to counsel, serve and advocate for people in crisis from all walks of life in Tonga. We have the support of partners from all over the world and in this post we would like to share about our staff and volunteers.

In the coming weeks, we will be contacting partners in Tonga from the government, church and NGO sector to help us arrange an exciting youth rally to encourage young people to access services and reach out for help.
We are also working hard to improve our services in the community. We would love to hear from you and work with you.
