Amen and amen. Good morning and welcome. You can be seated. So glad you're here today. Those of you joining us online, we're also so glad that you are. Before we get started, though, I want to take a moment and provide you with an update concerning our ongoing Maui mission support.

First, you might want to save the date of Thursday, March 9th,

because Lord willing, and if we're still here,

Pastor Steve Santos and his wife, Kim, will be here.

I've asked Steve to do a follow-up to our Thursday night Maui update title

Jesus loves Lahaina, which we did back on Thursday, September 21st of last year, and he has

graciously accepted my invitation. In the meantime, he wanted me to share with you the following.

And I was just thinking about this. As I read this, I think it's going to resonate, even connect with

many who are going through such difficult times so

particularly our brothers and sisters there in Lahaina on Maui so this is what

Steve wrote that I want to share with you.

Aloha J.D. Cici Kani-Ohe and friends of Lahaina,

please be praying for Lahaina.

Be praying for the people of Lahaina's hearts and minds

to turn to Jesus, that many will be open in their hearts to the healing and help that comes only from God's Word by the Holy Spirit.

The sixth month, six month anniversary was on Thursday, February 8th.

So many people are still dealing with PTSD.

And add to that the growing fears and the prevailing uncertainty of not knowing

where will we be living next month, next week?

Will we have to leave Lahaina?

How will I provide a home and food for my family

when the Red Cross and FEMA are done?
