Waiehu, Maui Island
Your gifts have provided this new church plant with the funds to purchase school supplies and backpacks for a nearby housing community.
Every single dollar you give helps advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Hawaii, the Pacific, and Asia.
The Makani Kai Hale housing complex is in the middle of the Waiehu Terrace subdivision and is less than a one-minute drive from where the new church plant, Waiehu Community Church, is currently meeting. Their goal is to provide much needed school supplies to the children in their immediate community.
Last year, even before they were an official church plant, the staff of Waiehu Community Church received a grant from a church on the mainland in order to provide the school supplies. This year, they wanted to again provide the school supplies, but the grant from the mainland church was not available. Waiehu Community Church requested funds from the Sue Nishikawa Offering to help them purchase backpacks and school supplies for the keiki of Makani Kai Hale.
In order to advertise for their School Supply Giveaway, members of the church put flyers up in the housing complex several weeks in advance of the event. They utilized the Maui County Block Party trailer to provide food and entertainment for the families. They then gave the filled backpacks to the keiki. Inside each backpack was an invitation to join them at church on Sundays. There was also an invitation to a sports camp they have planned in the upcoming month.
On an ordinary day, they are not allowed on the property to pray or teach publicly but Waiehu Community Church has found a way to have some one-on-one time with families and meet their needs for school supplies for the new school year.
Pastors Jay and Rocky stated, “We hope that our love for the people and a fresh invite to our church will cause many of them to want to join us on Sunday. It’s also a good opportunity for our core team to practice what we’ve been learning in our evangelism study.”
- Pray for the core team of the new church to put into practice their evangelism training.
- Ask God to meet the needs of the community and for the community to accept the invitation to visit the new church in Waiehu.
