Pastor Saipele Faiaipa'u

We thank God for one of the best blessings in our lives, you have truly shown insurmountable sincerity & love through your passion for Christ to assisting many of those without homes.

I will never forget your true heart for Eli and I to stay in Christ, for he is the answer to all our needs & healing. You believed in us and carried us through your preaching of God's grace and wisdom. You have not touched other lives for Christ, but, ours as well. We will never forget your presence of sweet soul searching for Christ, you are truly a great humble servant of God.

Much love and extreme appreciation, God bless you of your journey in Heaven.

You were always an encouraging and a loving man of God.  Never giving up on us and always a smile on your face.  I will miss you very much.  I mentioned to my mom the day of your burial "Your Pastor is here with you now" Until we meet again...you'll be truly missed!

Gonna miss his forever smiling face & hyped up personality that made everybody feel to welcome! He made me felt as if I knew him for years when I first met him & First Lady.  A very true Man of God who was so ready to Rock the congregation! Thank You Faiaipau family for letting us be a part of Pastors' Homegoing Celebration. It was beyond beautiful. May you all continue to seek peace & comfort in our Maker & know that someday we'll meet again soon....#ClaimingHisThrone...#RIPTamaFaiaipau...Alofa mo outou uma e le uma!! Manu, Nati & MJ Turituri

My uncle, PASTOR SAIPELE FAIAIPA'U, was a Warrior for Jesus Christ. He lived life like how he would preach his sermons: with emotion, fervor, and true joyfulness in the Lord. Uncle Sai would always say to me, " Jan, when you die, you can't take anything with you up to Heaven, so all the material things in this world don't matter. What matters most is your soul, so make sure you give it God and let it be the place where He dwells."

Uncle you taught me to humble myself to the Lord's word and will, and you constantly inspired me as a follower of Christ. There are not enough words in any language that can be written or spoken to express how much I love you for that uncle. Thank you for always pushing me and challenging me to live right by God. He is the one true God, Amen. This bible passage makes me think of you uncle. Salamo 9:2, Ou te fiafia ma ou olioli ia te oe; ou te pese lava i lou suafa, le Silisili ese. (Translation: Psalm 9:2 -- I will be glad and exult in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.) I read this and I thank and praise God for blessing me with you in my life. Please send my love to all of our family in Heaven and I will see you again one day in HIS Kingdom. I love you forever uncle Sai!

with love in Jesus' name,
your favorite niece Jan : ))

Thank you Pastor Sai.
You welcomed me as family the first day you saw me. Gave me hope when I had lost hope. I thank God for you! Thank you Jesus for Pastor Sai, the Faiaipau's and my church, Samoan Community AOG.

I'm truly very sad that we lost a great man of god. But I'm not sad anymore because i know you are in a better place now. Thank you for everything you've done for the church especially the people who needed help and special thanks from me and my family. I know you did a lot, you gave me a chance and change my life . thanks for everything pastor you are going to be miss also love Tina and family

The heart of our congregation has gone on before us. Pastor Sai was one of the pioneers of the Samoan churches in San Jose who gave all he had for God's kingdom. A proud, joyful, faithful and honorable man with a big heart. His pride was his family, Congregation, youth and worship team.
 I will miss our conversations, his voice and presence or just passing by the office and saying "how is it going Janet?" Are we good (referring to our finances)? or putting me in check when something goes wrong. Who do I turn to for spiritual advice now?
 He fought a good fight and won. He has received his reward. Our love goes out to his loved ones wife, children and grandchildren for the days ahead will be full of memories for life will go on and we will take it a day at a time. I know that God will comfort you and keep you in his loving care. To Pastor Sai - Until we meet again. Love always. Families are forever.

Knowing that your gone pastor still shocks me . Still can't believe that I'm not going to see you in church way in the front lifting your hands . As weak as pastor was he was the first person to stand up and lift his hand . I've learned so much from you pastor and everything I've learned I'll always remember . I've always looked at my pastor as SUPERMAN ! Never thought that anything would happen to him even as sick as he was he was always able to pull thru . I know you fought the good fight pastor now it's time for you to rest . I'll always remember you asking me " Ana how is " ? I smile at you and say I'm good pastor then you ask " did we find a job yet "? I said still looking then we both smile lol ! You will always be SUPERMAN to me pastor and will ALWAYS have a place in my heart ! I ? and miss you Pastor

Blessed to have known you Pastor.....Will always remember your smile, contagious...No matter how one felt before entering church, you always greeted with a smile and acknowledged us when we've been M.I.A...Thank you for encouraging each and every being that has crossed your path...Manuia lou malaga...Theresa Afuola

Pastor/Dad Saipele Faiaipau, words cannot express how you have impacted not only myself (Angel), but my husband (Elijah) as well. Your counselling upon our individuals selves will never part, your teachings are still fresh to our ears daily, and your love will forever be felt in our presence. Know that you will be truly missed by us (Angel and Elijah Dumas). We only pray that we may all meet again. We love you and miss you oh so dearly. We will try our best to keep fighting the fight and running the race. We love you and God continue to comfort First Lady/Mom Faagalogalo Faiaipau, Bro. Darcy Faiaipau, Sis. Grace Fiaui, their spouses, and your many blessings (The awesome Grandchildren) Ia manuia lou malaga!!! Love the Dumas Family

A Brother, Spiritual father, Friend.  Your leadership will be missed dearly. So many have benefited from your kindness and your unconditional giving. Your courage battling till the end. Thank you for being there for the biggest day of Elaine and Jason lives. A pace setter. Didn't need to be cheered on or a big crowd. Consistent weather 2 people or 200 were there, your passion for the Lord and the name of Jesus Christ stayed the same. Full throttle. For this I am so thankful, for you can not pay for the lessons that you have taught me and my family. The word Honor is use by the military, for bravery, unselfishness, and compassion for the life of another. It has been an HONOR severing as your Deacon. We shall carry on Gods work sir

Truly sad to see you go Uncle Sai but i know your in a better place with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ..

To our beloved pastor Sai, and our dearest father in our christian life. All we can say is "Thank you so much for all the good things that you done for me and my family." I know you can't hear us anymore, but deeply in our heart are missing you, and  a lot of memory for your good advice, encouragement, and sharing for every good things in life. Your unconditional love to my family we never forget. We love you & missed you Pastor Sai. You are in the better place. You have no more sorrow, no more pain like the song that we love to sing.  Love you and missing you. Fagasau's Family.

Blessed and honor to be know as a relative to this Man of GOD! Uncle/Pastor Saipele and his family took me in at a difficult time in my life and showed me more love than was expected and needed. The memory and significance of Uncle Saipele to me is that he was so consistent in challenging me to seek GOD so that my life may change for the better. He stood up for me in a situation that made me feel like the world was against me and in that situation his voice was the first that I heard stand for me against it all. After being gone a while I returned to open arms and loving words of encouragement and advice. I cannot help but to think that if he helped change my life in such little time and with very few actions, how many lives of how many people he has helped, affected, changed, and blessed in his life time. 

Uncle Sai, there aren't even a million words to express how greatfull I am for the love you showed and gave to me. But I do know my heart holds a special place for you always. You are truly one of the most loving men I have ever known. Ia manuia lou malaga Uncle Sai. I love you.

You are gone but never forgotten.  I have known you since our teen years, you have come a long way.  It's not your beginnings but your ending. 

You are truly a blessing to everyone that you have encountered, I am truly blessed to have spend time with you while you where ministering.  

You leave behind a beautiful family, your wife, kids and grand kids they are your legacy.  They will carry on the wonderful work that you have worked so hard to achieve.  May the good Lord take you in his wings, blessings in your new travels.

Manuia lau malaga.

We are so thankful to know a great man of God like Saipele, He is a funny  guy, He always have a big smile in his face, he is such a great person, awesome servant of God. We will miss you and we are so bless to get to know you in person.    The Seau's (Tracy Ca)

He were a leader of God and a great inspiration to everyone around him. He always had a smile on his face. Although he left behind so many with sadness, but with so many momentums....He will be greatly missed.

God bless pastor Saipele his wife,kids and grand kids.. I've known this man almost all my life. I remember when I was 6 years old on sundays all the boys and I would wait for him to jump on the drums for worship and MAN!! he'd be jamin so fast and loud and me and the other guys would be playing along with our air drums... and then when it was his time to lead service he'd bring that same energy chopping the air with his hands dancing all over the stage. When he became pastor in later years and as I became an adult, I had the honor to have him be the pastor for my wedding,and bless all my boys on white sunday and finally this year though he was physically weak he held my daughter and performed the blessing for her this white sunday.  I will always remember pastor for his energy and his favorite words to me," RUDY YOU OK?''... he loved the church,his worship team,his family and most of all he loved Jesus.. thank you pastor for everything.. The bible says TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD... so we have that assurance where you are at...         Love always Rudy,Elaine and kids the Afuolas

We are deaply sadden on the passing of Pastor Sai, He is truly a Soldier of God..My brothers and I grew up with this great man, always humble, always smiling, but the greatest thing about him was his love and passion for the work of God...You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten..God has truly gained a Soldier...You have fought a good fight, now take you're rightful place beside Our Heavenly Father...God only takes the best!!! We love you always Pastor Saipele...Ia manuia lou malaga,!!! Til we meet again.

Our love and prayers to all the families..

Rest in Love and Peace:
Rev. Saipele Faiaipa'u. 
God has actually called upon you to come on home..I Remember you as a man with a very strong faith. Happy person always smile. You will be missed by many whom their lives were touched by you thru your teachings and more. Faifeau, Alofaaga mo oe e le mavae..

Rest In Love...
Rev. Saipele Faiaipa'u.
You are missed by everyone that knows you. Alofaaga mo oe e le mavae!

Spiritual father/mentor/Leader. These are but few words summing up to what this man was to me. An influencer that has challenged me to be the man of God that I am today. Not only has he inspired me to walk with Christ daily, but he has also empowered me to be a better me. One thing I will never forget is his preachings. Pastor Sai made it known to the neighborhood and to the city that we had church going on. With his passionate strong voice, veins popping from his neck and forehead, hands hitting the pulpit, while he screams "HALLELUJAH ANYHOW." 

I will never forget his punch line: The devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy. But my God comes to give you life in abundant...

There's so much to say about pastor Sai. I can honestly say that out of all the pastors in are pulega, pastor Sai had the best smile ever. He would brighten up the room where ever he entered. 

Awwww... I miss you so much Sai :-( you have done nothing but good to me and my family and I am forever greatful... Your legacy will live on! 

Your memories I will forever cherish and your teachings I will apply! Thanks for leaving a great legacy and believing in me... I love you pastor Sai... Heaven just became that much realistic to me because I know you're awaiting are arrival! Until we meet again :)

Pastor Sai you are truly missed. You are an amazing son of God and an example of love & a true giver. My parents, siblings and our kids are sadden because we will not see you at any of our special celebrations & alwys with a smile but we know one day we will meet in Paradise. The memories of you will live on because no one lead worship like you with your 1 leg up and arm swinging to hurry the band up & worship team no slown down. Pastor Sai thank you for always being there for our family and shown unconditional love. I say Rest assure ur in da mighty hands of God. And tears missn you dearly.

Pastor Sai was a father figure to me along with my siblings. He's our first spiritual father. He did a lot for my family. He provided a roof over our heads when we had no where to go, he fed us when we had no money for food, he prayed over us and the congregation every Saturday morning at prayer meetings (I'm sure it was a daily thing for him to do), he always had a positive attitude about life itself even when things wouldn't fall into place, he always always had a HUGE smile on his face, he served several years of being a pastor at San Jose Samoan Community Assembly Of God, he showed us how to love not only with what we had in our pockets but with actions. I am truly blessed beyond measure to have Pastor Sai bless my husband and I at our reception. If is wasn't for Pastor Sai and his lovely wife i wouldn't be half the women/wife i am today. My husband and I are forever grateful for Pastor Sai, his wife (Tina) along with his children and grand babies. Pastor Sai saw my mom pregnant with all of us before we entered this world. He watched us grow from an infant to an adult. He watched us blossom with our God given talents. He believed in us and always said "With God anything is possible". Sai spoke life over us and saw it come about. He is a man of Faith. I will miss him soooo soooo much. I love you Pastor Sai. Thank you for being a great spiritual Father to my family and I. This is not a goodbye. We will see you again. Love you Pastor and you will always have a special place in my heart. Praise God for a wonderful man of God like you. Love you sooo much! 

p.s ShoeBox Productions "SHBX" is created with the help of Pastor Sai because he believed in us. We are forever grateful!

Sad to hear of Mr. Faiaipau's passing.  It was an honor to work with such a devoted family man, loving husband and a living example of man of God.  He always presented himself with dignity and self-respect.  Our world would be a better place if more people could emulate him.

He's always had a BEAUTIFUL smile that made you want to smile. A true Man of God, and I'm so glad that I've had the chance to meet Him. My nieces are so lucky to have a Papa with a Big Heart! He was there when my Mom passed away, made it to the Hospital every single time she went in, whether it was overnight or for a few days. He made it there when my Mom's own pastor didn't and His spirit was always cheerful. His smile was such a comfort to me and I'm going to miss seeing Him at the house. I know God has Big plans for him. Thank You for your Love and Prayers during all of my Family's hard times Pastor Saipele Faiaipa'u, I know the kids are really going to miss you, just as we all are now! Love & Prayers to the Faiaipa'u family during this time!

Truly sad to hear that Pastor Sai had passed away, such a gifted, loving, humble and wonderful man.  My family and I had the opportunity to attend  service at his church many times, and even though we don't speak or understand the language that the message was being spoken in most of the time, it didn't matter, we felt God's presence, we felt the love that Pastor Sai and his family have for the Lord and he embraced us as if we were his own.   We were truly blessed to have Pastor Sai perform my husband and my eldest son's water baptismal several years back. Such amazing experiences we have been blessed to share with Pastor Sai and his family, ones we will cherish in our hearts and remember, forever.

Uncle Sai the true definition of "A man of God" he was never someone to pass judgement on anyone he loved and treated everyone equally whether he knew you or he just met you if you needed help Uncle Sai would extend his hand out to you. He was someone that no matter how rough things got in life and how far hope seemed he always restored your faith and let you know that there is always a brighter tomorrow.  You will be dearly missed Uncle Sai thank you for being such a blessing & inspiration to so many people.  Heaven has been blessed with your presence may you forever Rest in Gods love & may Aunty Galo, Grace, Darce and the grandkids find comfort in knowing that you are at peace and you have gone home. Love you Uncle Sai

What a true man of God! Always with a smile and never has his head down. One word that describes pastor Sai, it would be HUMBLE, a very humble man of God. Tears are just rolling down my cheek, because this is all true. I was telling my husband about your passing and he was just in samoan," kalofae, se kamaloa", he said you were one of his favorites to talk to about anything... and he also stated that you blessed us as well on our wedding day. Sai with all this being said, you will truly be missed. Thank you for being a blessing to me, my family, and especially my immediate family. We love you, and we'll see you in heaven some day. R.I.L Pastor Sai. Pita, Lafo &kids!

Thankful to have known this amazing man! It was hard for me and my grams to say goodbye but there was comfort knowing we'll see him again! I Was introduced to him as Cy's Papa a few years ago and will never forget the times I got to spend with him, and the words he spoke to my Grams, "get back to church!" Goes to show how much he Loved the Lord! He would always ask me how school was and then go on to tell me that education was very important, he would ask how my grams was.. he was just an all around caring and loving person with a huge heart for his fam, friends, and God. 
Love and Miss you Saipele
-Bre, Mary, Amelia

always in a happy mood, smiling was he calling card...gotta along with everyone..we use to laugh about old times during Bethlehem Steel days..he was a great MAN..also a man of God...RIP my longtime friend.
