0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Greg Laurie here with Mark Erinus, Marcus, the Director of Outreach for Harvest, |
0:05.3 | and Mark, you just got back from the island of Maui. You were there hours ago, tell us |
0:11.8 | what it's like to be on the ground there, tell us what it looks like and what you're hearing |
0:16.4 | from people. Yeah, it was, it's a devastating sight. I mean, it looks like a war-torn community. |
0:22.5 | I mean, you've seen the videos and you've seen the camera footage of what it looks like. It is |
0:27.9 | just you cannot believe that this was a thriving community. I hear the number one tourist location |
0:34.5 | in the world is the island of Maui and to look at what it looks like now, it's absolutely devastating. |
0:42.5 | The fire was started with a huge winds and then what, the power lines sparked the fire. That's |
0:48.8 | probably the origin of it. That's what they're saying. Yeah, it looks like it started up on the hill |

1:17.4 | I know that they have a semi on a barge coming over as well. There's other organizations like |
1:22.8 | Operation Blessing from CBN and many other Christian organizations will be there as well. |
1:27.6 | So Mark, I know people have asked me over and over what can I do? What's the best thing that we can do |
1:33.7 | for the island of Maui and more specifically for the people that have suffered this horrible tragedy? |
1:41.3 | They've got a year or so ahead of them before any type of normalcy is going to happen there. |
1:49.2 | So I'd say the number one thing that we can be doing as a community is praying for them. |
1:54.5 | These are people who lost not just their homes, not just their livelihood for a lot of them, |
2:00.6 | but also their community. I mean, their sense of community, but I will tell you, |
2:04.4 | it is amazing to see the love and the joy that a lot of them have and that how they've rallied around. |
