Shout out to my Lanai peeps

This trip has been one of God's work. I have been busy from day one. Now wrapping up Lanai, I see how much God has moved on these islands. It is amazing to be apart of everything. When we arrived to Lanai, it was full of projects and work. We were responsible for construction that would hopefully bring a church closer to completion. King's Chapel Lanai is a new church that holds its services out of the Lanai high school cafeteria. During construction, I felt like Jesus as a carpenter. It was hard work, but completely worth it. It was so fulfilling to see the fruits of our labor.

We also helped out with their beach ministry during their monthly movie night. The movie was awesome, Ratatouille. It was awesome watching a movie under a full moon. Seeing how much a church with a heart for God can accomplish. As simple as it was, and as meager as it may have seemed, God was present and even the visitors enjoyed the entire night.

Seeing how much happened was amazing. Seeing the works in people's lives. The children here were awesome. They had that child-like faith and spiritual maturity people often strive for. They all were an inspiration to me. The love they had in their hearts. It was refreshing to see this love in people, families, children, churches, and an entire island.

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Luke 12:34
