Well, good evening again. What a blessing to be with you. As was mentioned, we're going to be in Isaiah 37.

So if you want to make your way there, let me introduce myself a little bit. You heard that I am John. My wife Monica is with me.

We came here to visit her mom. We come every six months or so. We used to live here. We were taking

care of her. I was an assistant pastor at Calvary Chapel West Oahu where I met J.D. a few times.

And we know Eric Anderson, a good friend. Eric Anderson. I heard a woo-hoo. Yeah.

So we've been praying for you guys.

We've been hearing about the building and praying for you,

praying for Eric and Lori and those,

all the hardworking servants,

part of the fellowship here that were part of the building project.

And so Eric said, hey, I'm in the, you know,

we happen to be in the islanders twice in a row at the same time. And so he said, let's get together.

And I said, hey, I'm going to see the building.

And so we came and we saw, what a blessing how God has provided and blessed you guys.

Amen.

What a blessing.

So we had a great time with Eric and Lord we had lunch.

And then Eric said something to JD about

me coming and sharing and JD apparently he's shared with me in fact he made it he wasn't sure he was going to make it tonight but I'm glad you're here
