May News Letter 2010

“Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.  Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.”  Galatians 3:6,7
Hello Dear Hearts,
I attended an amazing Hawaiian Hula Worship Celebration.   Churches of all denominations, from all the Hawaiian Islands, came together to worship our Lord through Hula dancing, music, Scripture and song.  “How Great Thou Art” was sung in Hawaiian, as were many of the songs.  The Hula praise was glorious.  Many of my friends from different churches participated.
The opening ceremony was preceded with the carrying of the Hawaiian flag and the Israeli flag.  The pastors of Grace Church here on Maui are Messiahanic Jews who have received Jesus Christ as Messiah.  The wife, Nora, with two other ladies worshipped the Lord in Israeli dances.
The disciples asked Jesus after His resurrection, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom of Israel?”  Jesus said, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons, which the Father has put in His own authority.   But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”  The King James Version reads, “To the uttermost part of the earth.”   And  someone said during the ceremony “Hawaii is the uttermost part of the earth from Jerusalem.”
Paul wrote, “That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. ..Where there is neither Greek nor Jew… bond nor free: but Christ is all and in all.”  Galatians 3:14, Colossians 3:11
“And if you are Christs’, you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.”  Galatians 3:2
I’ve told you about different ministries in which I’ve been involved.  It’s such a privilege to be working with Feed My Sheep.  The organization has six major locations Island wide, making essential groceries accessible weekly, to all who are below the poverty level.  Because of a well established collaboration between Feed My Sheep, the Maui Food Bank and many other food pantries and soup kitchens working together, to quote Joyce the CEO, ” We are able to feed the hungry in body, mind and spirit.  We are so fortunate that every time we go out to distribute food, we spend time with and pray for the people we serve.”   One lady that came for food, Susan, I have ministered to and prayed with, on a personal basis, several times in the last two months.
Another quick story about Melissa, a very pretty young woman in her twenties.  She has a darling two-year old daughter and a sweet husband.  She was born with only one kidney and her parents were not given much hope for her survival.  As we talked she told me that her mother was a very active Jehovah’s Witness, but when Melissa was thirteen, her mother went astray.  The family faltered.
As I shared with her the love of Jesus, she readily responded.  When she prayed to receive Him as her Lord and Savior, the tears streamed down her cheeks.  After I had prayed for her she said she had felt so LOST.”
Because of your great love, prayers and sacrificial support WE ARE REACHING OUT WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS TO A LOST WORLD.
I thank you again, you truly are SPECIAL SAINTS!
Your co laborer in Christ.
