First, some past highlights:
The youth have done 2 service in the cafeteria after meeting in the living room at the church house for almost two years. Several things have happened after the shift: Because there’s more room there’s more opportunity to reach more kids. The youth were maxing out the house, thus, no more room [...]

On my mind
Tomorrow night (Friday) our youth service moves to the cafeteria. This is a huge move for them. They’ve outgrown the house they were meeting in. I remember when they started with four kids in the living room. It’s so cool to see God work in these young lives.
Service time 7pm, Mauka Lani Cafeteria. Go to [...]

Hong Kong highlights #2
Forgot to say in my earlier post that I had a dream that woke me early this morning…4:30! I never get dreams like this, but I feel it was for the church that I’m speaking at, so I shared it.
Good session tonight. Spoke on forgiveness and saw people break free from unforgiveness toward themselves and [...]

Pastor Paul is a great host. The brother loves to eat and I don’t mind following suit
Hong Kong is hot [...]
