As most of you know, uncontrolled fires have affected lives and property in Maui, Hawaii.
Wildfires have become a life threat in Maui, Hawaii. For the past few days the uncontrolled fires have affected lives and property. We pray for those that have lost loved ones as well as property. We pray for the first responders and their families. We pray for the churches that have become hands and feet of Christ. Unfortunately, many have been affected also by the smoke and facing powerlessness in the midst of this disaster.
However, as brothers and sisters in Christ, we are called to solidarity and show our love through support. As you will see below, they ask for our prayers and financial support.
John and Gay Williams, Hawaii Pacific Baptist Disaster Relief co-directors, have represented Hawaii Pacific Baptists on Maui since early Friday morning.
Here is the information they want you to know.
#1 – Kahului Baptist Church in Central Maui (Pastor Jay Haynes) is doing a fantastic job distributing supplies from their location. Besides their church distributing essential items and care, Jay Haynes and Rocky Komatsu (Waiehu Community Church) have persons who have made flatbed trucks available and have been able to take supplies to the Lahaina side and distribute them.
#2 – John and Gay Williams met with Pastors Ken Tanaka and Yasushi Nemoto from our newest HPBC church, Kahului Union Church in Central Maui.
#3 – Maui County officials contacted John and Gay Williams yesterday to request that Hawaii Pacific Baptist Disaster Relief support the effort to house first responders and essential workers.
#4 – The primary way to respond is to pray and give generously!
