Amen. Amen. Amen. Good morning and welcome. You can be seated. So glad you're here.

Those of you online, we're so glad that you're joining with us. 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 say the date of Thursday March 9th because

It's a word fitly spoken.

Aloha, J.D. CC, Kanioha, 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 open their hearts to the healing and help that comes only from

God's word by the Holy Spirit. The sixth 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? And all of that with the piles of paperwork
