Newest Kroc Center – Hawaii
The dedication was a smashing success. Hallelujah!
The place is amazing.
The staff are terrific.
God is in this place.
You need to experience it for yourself.
“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”” John 4:24 NIV
Faith works.
With the opportunity to speak to the Cabinet this week, we began with a session entitled, “Territorial Vision.” While I don’t know what they were expecting, it wasn’t a load of goals and objectives, nor was it a “theme d’jour.”
We simply spoke about faith. The future for our territory is empty and pointless without faith. Our efforts and our witness is nil without faith. Our good name is meaningless without faith. Why?
“without faith, it is impossible to please God.” Hebrews 11
Coming out of the cabinet.
Now I know the title sounds a bit like another expression. There are no other similarities.
The Cabinet in the territory is made up of SA leaders who form the closest advisors to the Territorial Commander. We’ve met today in private meetings to consider God’s hope for the territory and to synchronize our efforts to the glory of God. Hallelujah!
These are special people, each of whom represents the Lord with veracity and faithfulness. I’m grateful to God for them.
“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” James 4:10 NIV
Sure Thing
There aren’t many sure things in life.
Guarantees in life?
Certainties?
I can assure you that faith in God will prove true.
You will discover that everything God says and does is right.
These are not campaign promises. These are sure. Hallelujah!
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV
Hawaii and Pacific Islands Division
Capably led by Majors Edward and Shelley Hill, we have been reviewing the work of God in this tremendous division. Carefully reaching and exceeding most of their goals, they’ve opened four corps this year and many have been brought to saving faith in Jesus. Hallelujah!
You can see that they get it here in Hawaii.
Did you know that they have 6 different Youth Councils here with over 600 in attendance. This is pretty terrific, considering they cover five time zones. It is an amazing place to serve the Lord. Yes!
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2
Kona Corps, Hawaii
Located on the Big Island, the Kona Corps is a beautiful expression of Salvationism. We enjoyed sharing in ministry today with Divisional Leaders, Majors Edward and Shelley Hill and Corps Leaders, Lieutenants Kelly and Matthew Pensabene. Of course the local leaders were present and faithfully on duty.
Many young people and adults were enrolled as Community Care Ministry Members. This is a great opportunity to engage our people in caring ministries. Hallelujah!
The Youth Chorus was a delight and there was a blessed spirit present throughout the meeting. God bless the Kona Corps.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” James 1:5 NIV
