Aloha.

You know how Pastor J.D. has been going about 300 miles an hour for the last two years.

And so today he needed a rest. And so in his stead, we have Pastor Russell from Calvary Chapel downtown who is here with us today.

Awesome man of God loves the Lord. And Pastor Russell was a very good friend of mine. He was

with Pastor Bill Stonebreaker as an associate pastor before he became and started his own ministry

in downtown Honolulu. And so one of the things I'm blessed with is that at my workplace, I work

as a longshoreman and at this pier 32, we've been praying about

a Bible study there for many, many years and tomorrow we're going to start.

And we were praying for a pastor to come in and teach us and Pastor Russell is going

to be our pastor.

So without further ado, Pastor Russell, Takeezu.

Unlike some guys, my notebook is really a notebook, guys.

Hey, but what a blessing it is to be here with you, folks, and God's given us a beautiful evening that we might come to worship him and I was telling later as he was showing me around

he said, wow, this is really, really nice and oh man, I jealous.

Hey, how come Jay has this beautiful facility? But I'm just kidding guys. We know that this facility

will be a blessing to the community and a blessing to many, many families who the Lord draws

in. And I know that they've been waiting for a fellowship to come right into their community.

It's not unusual that I was kind of surfing to the TV the other night late at night or

early in the morning and all of a sudden I got on to dog the bounty on her and

lo and behold he was right across the street the guys was telling him it right

underneath the banyan tree and not a bandit tree but a store so you know right

in your community there's a whole ministry right outside your front door
