Our last full day on mission was a good one. We made huge progress on our building project and served in Ocean View by serving food to those in need. What a great time in Hawaii!

All is well in Na'alehu! The Tsunami had little to no impact thank God! Back to work!

Hey Friends,
Our Mission Team continues to serve communities in the Ka'u region of the Big Island of Hawaii. We are sitting safe at 4000 ft due to a Tsunami warning. Keep us and especially the people of coastal regions of the Hawaiian Islands in prayer.

Here's our group making the best of it along with a few from a productive work day...

We've had a busy couple of days which included continuing to build the shower house, a group serving the area homeless, a youth night and park clean-up in Oceanview , and our first excursion!

Another day of mission included half of our team continuing the showerhouse building and the others helping local ministries to seve the homeless individuals in Hilo. We had a cookout at South Point for dinner and took in some beautiful views! All is well in Naalehu tonight! Lots of tired but happy missionaries here.

What a great day in Naalehu!
I can honestly say that I've never had such a hard working mission team! Much accomplished on our first workday!

Our Mission Team is safe and sound I'm Naalehu, Hawaii after 20 hours of traveling! We had a great welcome in Kona from Seavers' Aunt Theresa! Please pray for us as the hard work starts tomorrow morning!

Hello Everyone! As many of you know I have served in Youth Ministry for the last 41 years. Over the years my focus has become that of building youth ministry programs that encourage kids in life and faith. We hope young people will be inspired to participate in vibrant youth communities where they can grow and bring their gifts for leadership to the efforts.

This summer 11 youth and 5 adult members of our "Feed Leaders Team" are going on mission to help build a Shower house/ Bathroom for a new youth camp in Na'alehu Hawaii. Our focus will be one of helping those youth, families and individuals in Hawaii are facing the effects poverty. Food insecurity, homelessness, neglect, violence, and addiction are a real part of life for many young people. Serving with Planting Hope Ministries, we will do our part to help build a Christian youth camp and "safe place for kids to grow" on the Big Island.
