John 3:16

brought to you from "The Jesus Book" (Hawaiian Pidgin)

First of all let me start off with saying... GOD BLESS HAWAII!!!


Not only is Hawaii a beautiful place to be! But the people are so amazing to be around! and that includes everyone our hosts (the Summerfields) to all the volunteers we have had the honor to work with and especially the homeless.

It still blows me away how our group has traveled almost 6 hours to this beautiful island to share the good news to the people, and when we are taken out to the streets to talk to the homeless, it’s like we are being preached to instead!!! These people really know the Bible. They say it LOUD and proud that they are "followers of Christ" and it’s Him who keeps them going everyday! What joy that brings me.

   This week we are working with an organization called Family Intervention Services (FIS) which is a service that helps teens from the ages 10 to 18 who are homeless or runaways. FIS hit the streets with a goal to get these teens out of danger and into a safe environment. They have a facility that can hold 10 females and 10 males!! But unfortunately this program has had a huge budget cut which is forcing one of their offices to close down and move to the shelter. With this big move, space is now limited, everything is being switched around which isn’t too good of a thing! But I know that God is working in that place because where there is a will there is a way!

   Today was one of our most productive days!!! We arrived to FIS around 9am and were put to work right away being that everything has to be moved by Friday. We were handed piles and piles of folders to take apart to be shredded. and just when we thought those stacks were non stopping, in came more files that had to be alphabetized... whew that was seriously never ending name after name, hole punch after hole punch and paper jam after paper jam... hehe it was so much fun!! (No joke) we had our reggae music going with our own personal DJ. and a system down packed!! We were on a roll! We even took some not so light rubbish out to the dumpster. Time was flying by so quickly and I was a wee bit sad to leave!

   OH WAIT!!! I forgot to mention the part where the guys from the shelter made us lunch that was bomb diggity! how could I forget? We had a good time with all the teens.. There personalities are so different and it’s just a joy to be around them! Im looking forward on getting to know them better by the end of our stay!

   God is definitely working here and I feel so blessed to see it happening first hand!! Please keep the people and our team in prayer!
   I think about you all, ALL the time and pray for you everyday! It’s so good to hear all the teams doing such amazing things! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!
