Hey everybody, Greg Laurie here with an update on what is happening over on the island of Maui.

As you know, devastating fires have effectively destroyed most of this old town of Lahaina

and in many lives have been lost. The number keeps climbing and there are a thousand people

unaccounted for it. This is so tragic. And as you also know, we have a church there called Harvest

Kumalani. It's about 10, 11 miles from downtown Lahaina. Our church has been dramatically affected.

Many people in our congregation have had their homes burned down, but our church has a great sense

of Ahana that's Hawaiian for family. They're pulling together, they're caring for each other.

And right now we have a team on the ground and we're assessing the situation and trying to determine

what we can do to help. We're very glad that our friends at Samaritan's first led by Franklin

Graham or on the ground as well will be working closely with them to do what we can for the people

of this island that have had their lives turned upside down. As you know, we've established

a special fund that we're calling the Harvest Hawaii Relief Fund. And you can go to Harvest.org

and you can give. And we're going to put it to good use bringing hope to the hurting people

of the entire island of Maui. So let's keep praying for the folks there, pray for the relief

efforts, pray for the first responders, pray for those that are trying to rebuild the infrastructure

of this island. They don't have power there right now. They can't really communicate at all.

So they need God's intervention. Let's all be praying for them together. And as they say in Hawaii,

Mahalo, which means thank you. So here comes Moses. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew,

one of his brothers. So he looked this way and he looked that way and when he saw no one,

he killed the Egyptian and then he hid him in the sand. Moses checked for witnesses before he

sinned. Pastor Greg Laurie says avoiding being seen is a warning sign about our behavior.

When you're about to do something you shouldn't do, you'll look around. Is anybody watching me?
