Amen, amen. You can be seated. Welcome. So glad you came out tonight. Those of you joining with us online, we're glad that you are. Pardon me. Before we get started, though, I would like for us to pray for the people in California concerning what's been dubbed Maui

2.0 but on a very much much larger scale I mean I had to kind of walk away from some of the reports that I was reading.

And this is just, and doubtless you're hearing about the unimaginable devastation,

not to mention the extremely disturbing reports. I mean, not least is that,

you know, they give you the facts and the figures

0% contained and then they start,

you know, talking about acres

and then spreading

and I mean some of the video

is just chilling and

this is kind of close to home for us because it's still kind of raw even though it's been over a year

for us here on the islands with what happened in Maui my sister

told me that she who lives in Pasadena by the the way, had to evacuate today. And so it looks like this is just only beginning.

And so what I really wanted us to do tonight, and if you would please,

as Lord puts it on your your heart pray for the people in

California who are going through what I think would be fair to say hell on earth

and losing everything and so while we start that way it's heartbreaking,

but let's start, let's pray if you would please. So, Father, we're grieving when we see

this happening and we, our hearts break for the people who have and will lose literally everything.

Lord, but we also want to pray for the lessening of the loss of life, that Lord, you as only you can,

would miraculously provide a way of escape for those that are trapped. And as fast as those

winds are some clocked at 90 miles per hour, spreading this so far
