Amen. And amen. Good morning. Welcome. You can be seated. So glad you're here. So glad those of you that are joining us online are joining us online. Trust that you'll be blessed that you are and did. Before we get started, though, I want to share an email that I received from Pastor Steve Santos of Calvert Chapel

Westside there in Lahaina regarding our ongoing Maui mission support. He writes,

so much has happened. Fire, loss, confusion, grief, greed, seeing the best and the worst of people,

some hoarding for fear of when things are gone, people's fear of where they and their families will

live, not wanting to be relocated to other islands or even

to the other side of Maui. Lahaina is still their home. And it's still all happening,

all but the fire, all while the world has moved on.

And I totally get it now with Israel.

Like I had said when we were together, J.D.,

I'm afraid to ask what's next.

And then the horrific news out of Gaza, come Lord Jesus.

While the world has moved on, Lahaina is still burned. And the hearts of

the people here are still filled with all that was left on that morning after deep depression,

fear of what do we do? And again, Jesus is the only answer we need to have answers from

God's words so please don't stop praying for Lahaina or for me for God's direction for

Calvary Chapel Westside and praying for every true believer on the west side of Maui that woke up that

morning inducted into the full mission field.

Someone shared how he wakes up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep thinking

on how, what to do next with Lahaina.

This is an elected official he's talking about. And not just thinking about

his job in the physical town, thousands of homes and businesses, by the way, not hundreds.

You're hearing hundreds, it's not hundreds, it's thousands. Thousands of families, people's lives.
