Our Family
Celebrating God’s grace through every season of life
The Siakimotu Family
Our family is a testimony of God’s amazing grace and faithfulness. Through joys, challenges, loss, and new beginnings, the Lord has shaped our home and strengthened our faith. We are grateful for His leading in our lives and the blessing of serving Him together.
Rooted in God’s Grace
Family is where faith grows, love is practiced, and values are passed on. As we serve others, we draw strength from our unity and from God’s calling. Through every challenge and blessing, His grace continues to shape our family and the way we minister with love and unwavering faith.
Our Children and Their Families
God blessed us with four children. Our firstborn daughter, Jaimie, was promoted to be with her Lord at the age of seven in 1988. Our three other children — Deane, Ritchie, and Joanna—have grown into strong, faith-filled individuals, each building their own families while remaining actively involved in the work of the Lord.
Deane Siakimotu
Deane, our eldest son, is a devoted family man and an integral part of our ministry. Married to Charene, they are blessed with a lively son, Noah and Eden Rose their daughter. Deane & Charene actively participate in their church activities, focusing on leading worship and praise music for their church. Their passion for sharing the gospel is evident in their involvement with various church programs.
Ritchie Siakimotu
Ritchie and his wife Kezia are involved in church leadership and community ministry. They serve their congregation faithfully, extending hospitality and discipleship through their home, while actively supporting mission work and the wider family’s ministry.
Joanna Siakimotu
Joanna, our youngest daughter, plays a vital role in supporting the ministry alongside her husband, Reid. They are proud parents to their daughter, Philly-Jay. Joanna’s involvement in women’s ministry and her nurturing spirit make her a cherished member of our church family, where she encourages and uplifts those around her.
In Loving Memory of Jaimie
Laisa and I have walked together through both joys and trials. One of our greatest challenges was losing our firstborn daughter, Jaimie, to leukemia in 1988 when she was just seven. Though painful, her passing strengthened our faith in God’s promises and continues to inspire us to trust God’s heart even when His ways are beyond our understanding. We remember her with deep love for the joy she brought into our family.
The Siakimotu Grandchildren
Throughout every season of our lives, God has been our unwavering source of strength and support. We are profoundly grateful for His constant guidance and wisdom and we earnestly pray that our children and grandchildren will embrace His teachings and continue to serve Him faithfully for generations to come.
Our family continues to grow in faith, grace, and gratitude for God’s goodness.
Each season brings new lessons, joys, and reminders of His faithfulness.
