Kona and Honokaa Corps

Please continue to pray for the Kona Corps. Pray for Gary and Ann Todds for taking the helm in covering for the the Pensabenes, and at the same time, continues to work hard in Honokaa. Pray for God's strength and grace to be upon them each day! Continue to pray for the Pensabenes, as they are currently in Oklamoma while Matthew continues his cancer treatment. Pray for healing and God's awesome peace! Ann Todd writes, "Gary has been covering for the Lieutenants in Kona and traveling to Kona several times each week. We stay, on occasion, at the officer's quarters, but usually make the hour commute when needed. All is going as well as can be expected and the staff there has been wonderful in carrying on with the Thrift Store, the Day Care Center and the office. Honokaa continues to "plug away" with our small rummage sale, food pantry and the few services we offer. Please keep us all in prayer as we do the same for you. Give our love to the congregation and know that we think of you often."

Christy Kamalo & Shane Halverson

Lift up Ms. Christy Kamalo from the Maui Corps and Shane Halverson (Captain)- our Divisional Youth Secretary at DHQ. They underwent surgery (Shane - Saturday and Christy - Monday). Pray for their recovery and quick healing. May the Lord continue to strengthen and comfort them during this time. Pray for their family as they take care of them! Lord be with them we pray! Amen!

Kelley Family Moving

Please pray for the Kelley family, as they are currently on the road going from Colorado to New York. They are a military family who we first met in Spokane. They were part of our church family and will always be great friends. They moved to Fountain Colorado right after we left there to go to Denver. Julie Kelley worked for the Fountain Corps as a volunteer and as a temporary worker. Her husband, eric, serves in the Air Force. Pray for their four children as they get back to school and make new friends. May our Lord go before this family and prepare their way to their next home and ministry!

HIM Conference

The Hawaiian Islands Ministries (HIM)conference was a blast! It's a "mountain-top" experience! Some of the speakers were: Jim Burns, Francis Chan, Gary Chapman, Doug Fields, Victor Marx. May those who came to the mountain top, go back down to the valleys with a renewed spirit to share the Good News of Jesus Christ! I was very encouraged! My wife, CSM Dio Parong, and I attended this and we look forward to going back next year! May God continue to bless the HIM conference folks as they prepare for the next one.

Brother Willie and Brother Scottie

Please pray for two of our men in our Men's Bible Study group. Brother Willie is currently at the Hilo hospital undergoing heart treatment. Brother Scottie still has some health issue and is currently in Honolulu undergoing his treatment. Pray for healing and for God's peace to be upon them!

Hilo - God's Doing

Our numbers for 9 saved (3 Hilo, 6 youth councils rededication) 478 served through our programs this week (lunch, pantry) 38 in Sunday attendance, actually it should be 45 since we were at camp. I'll change it if I can. This was a great week for Hilo Temple Corps. We were able to serve people through our lunch program and pantry/clothes vouchers - but unlike every week, a couple that we only see through these services attended church on Sunday. The man accepted Christ, along with two others in the congregation. At Youth Councils, the six delegates we brought had a meaningful, moving experience the whole weekend long and at Sunday service. They prayed at the altar as a corps. We are enjoying watching what God is doing in their lives.In His Hands, Shoshannah

Post Youth Councils

Praise the Lord for Capt. Shoshannah in bringing six teens (Posei, Luna, River, Tommy, Kennan, Tori) to Youth Councils at Camp Homelani in Oahu. May the Lord continue to bless and draw each of them unto Himself. May He continue to prepare their paths in this life to serve the Lord. May they remember and apply key principles that they have learned! God bless our Youth!
