SDMI Report

Aloha Hawaii Pacific District Ohana,

The word Kingdom can be literally translated to: a domain
that is ruled or a dominion where one is King. I have
strived to lead Hawaii Pacific SDMI with the Biblical heart and
mind set that our worship, our education, our gatherings, our
God-given talent is all for our King (Jesus) and his domain (the
Church, the non-followers of Jesus, and all of HIS Creation).
1. The First Kingdom movement accomplished was to ORGANIZE a
faithful working council. Ps Joe Crosby, Ps Rick Ragle, Ps
Joy Lumke, Ps Robert Miller, Ps Lori Leibbrand, Rachelle

Heaton (NYI Pres), and DS Rick Power (boss). Mahalo to
this leadership team for your hard work to build the
Kingdom.

Pastors, leadership, and teachers were invited. We learned
Biblical story telling and how to facilitate/cultivate
creative questions to bring out Gods Biblical truth. We
were reminded that yes! - God has gifted many to teach, but
all in the group can teach through their God revelation.
4. The Fourth Kingdom movement was to RE$OURCE.
a. Resourcing our Teens for Nazarene Youth Conference

be a life changing Kingdom experience.

assisting in purchasing a new District Sound System.
We were able to give $2000.

Missouri in February. This is an every 4 year
training event for Pastors and lay leaders. Thank you
SDMI council and District for sending me to be trained
at the SDMI workshops and plenary worship sessions.

Pastor Gordon Wong
The Bridge Church

Aloha Dr. Busic, Dr. Power, fellow pastors, assembly delegates

and friends,

I bring to you my 16th report to the Hawaii Pacific District. I

am thankful and blessed to be the pastor of The Bridge Church
for all 16 years. We have seen and experienced the favor, grace
and blessing of God in the past year.

2014 has been a good year. We continue to enjoy a deep level of

engagement in our congregation. In spite of continually loosing
many members who move away to the mainland, we have seen new
families in our worship service and join our fellowship.

We have been focusing on helping those outside of our community

and created partnerships with other organizations that help us
reach farther. We have been partnering with Nazarene
Compassionate Ministries to sponsor children on Easter Sunday
and help resurrect children from poverty. We continue to
partnered with the Hawaii Blood Bank and hosted 2 Save a Life
Sunday Blood Drives. About 50 pints of blood were donated by
the people of The Bridge which has the potential to save 150
lives. We also held our 15th annual Canned Food Drive and
collected over 5,000 canned foods. All of the food was donated
and given away to families in need in our community and a large
portion was given to the Hawaii Food Bank. We continued to
partnership with River Of Life Mission and served many of
Hawaiis homeless. And in December The Bridge Church partnered
with Samaritans Purse to make Operation Christmas Child boxes.
We were blessed to be able to send about 200 boxes this year.

The start of 2015 brought a new spirit of discipleship to The

Bridge. Our Womens, Men and Youth ministry have all seen
dramatic improvements. We are so thankful to bring Ashley
Kawabata on as our new Youth Pastor and she is doing an amazing
job!

Respectfully submitted,

Gordon Wong

Connection Point Church of the Nazarene
Pastor Joe Crosby

The 2014-2015 church year was filled with exciting events taking
place here on the East Side of the Big Island. Connection Point
continues to focus on three points: Loving God, Living His Word,
and Loving People.

Connection Groups:
God continues to disciple, teach, and equip people in
their walk with God through our different Connection
Groups. Connection groups usually consist of gathering together
for prayer, discussion, and fellowship. We have four groups
that meet each week. In addition, we have short term classes
that cover a special concept.

Leadership:
For the first time in years we have a church board of more than
five people. These developing leaders are committed, excited,
and energized. We are looking forward to what God is going to
do through them in the Puna Community.

Prayer:
We meet corporately each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. to pray for Gods
will. In addition a very active and committed group are
leading prayer ministry via phone, email, text messages, and
social media.

Worship:
Our worship services are entirely focused on worshiping God and
encouraging the body of Christ. God has been blessing us with
awesome gatherings. Some weeks we run out of parking and room.
Other weeks we have plenty of empty seats. We are looking into
the possibility of adding creative access options in different
locations and times.

Servant Evangelism:
We continue to give away Hotdogs and Handshakes to the community
on various Saturdays throughout the year. This year we gave
away over a thousand hotdogs. The includes a handshake,
conversation, and a connection. We continue to give away
supplemental groceries and clothing two Sundays each month to
those in need.

Mahalo for all the prayers and support from the HIPAC family!
Respectfully Submitted,
Joe Crosby

Cup of Water Outreach
Pastor Eugene L. Piliati

Talofa and aloha to our General Superintendent

Representative and to our local District superintendent Dr. Rick
and Vicki Power and District board members. I Eugene L. Piliati
believe that when you love the Lord with all your heart, mind
and soul he will reward you by moving you from glory to glory.

Feb 15, 2015 me and my wife Lealoa were installed as senior

Pastor of the Cup of water outreach Nazarene church, we are
humbled and very willing to serve God and his people. My mother
and father Vaelua senior pastor and Namulauti Piliati raised me
up in Gods love, and mentored me to be Christ like for many
years; they played a big role in my life. Apostle Paul said in 1
Corinthians 13 vs.11 when I was a child, I spoke like a child, I
thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a
man, I gave up childish ways. The discipline of my fathers
hands and the loving care of my mothers hands lead me to
everlasting life. In Jesus Christ our Lord thank you parents for
your love.

During the five years of service in the Cup of water Outreach

Nazarene Church I have seen the hardships pain we went through
as a church but at the end victory in Jesus was always the end
result. Our vision is to Love the Lord our God with all your
heart and encourage others to do the same. Under the leadership
of senior pastor Vaelua and Namulauti Piliati, we learned to sow
more into Gods kingdom with our time, offering, and prayer. We
also picked up on how to disciple one another and to give every
opportunity for one to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
The past year we as a church worked hand in hand to live out the
vision of our church by God fearing people in our local board.
This year we want to outreach more to the lost, the way and the
truth and the life may the good Lord be Bless.

15
Ewa Beach Church of the Nazarene
Pastor Mike Litsey

It continues to be a great joy to serve the wonderful people of

Ewa Beach. I believe the church is stronger and better than it
has been in more than several years. We give more, attend more,
pray more, and fellowship more. As with any church there are
areas that need growth but I think we are a church that is
seeking and seeing Gods direction. We wait on and trust Him.

We continue our support of Pastor Ernie and Linda Babas in

Aparri, The Philippines. I was privileged to visit to dedicate
and help paint their new sanctuary. Seventy people were present
for the dedication in a sanctuary that can easily seat one
hundred. God is blessing this church and they are now planting
a second church.

A few years ago in our struggles we had almost no children but

then new families came. This year God sent us a Childrens
Pastor: Andrea Gritton for which we praise God.

We continue to have the joy of sharing our building with Pastor

Lauloa and the good people of First Samoan. We also shared our
building with a Korean congregation for most of the year.

I and the people of the Ewa Beach are in the process of being
conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others.

16
Hanapepe Church of the Nazarene
Pastors Dan and Lori Leibbrand

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad
in it. ~Psalm 118:24
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of Gods mercy, to
offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to
Godthis is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any
longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve
what Gods will is his good, pleasing and perfect will.
~Romans 12:1-2

Living lives surrendered to the Lordship of Christ!

This past year at Hanapepe Church of the Nazarene was a
year where we focused on making sure our spiritual foundation
was strong and firmly planted on Christ and His Word. Our
primary focus throughout the past year was seen in our three
main sermon series that we went through together each Sunday.
The first part of our foundation-building year was the
Alone series. This series consisted of a focus on Christ,
grace, and Gods Word: the Bible. The second series we went
through was the Walking With My Savior series. It consisted of
four areas: the encounter, the instruction, the purpose and the
reason. The encounter simply means that if we are going to walk
with our Savior, we must first encounter him. Once we encounter
our Savior, He is able to instruct us. When we encounter Christ
and then turn to Gods Word that instructs us on how to live, we
find that there is a purpose for our existence. God has a plan
and purpose for each one of us. The reason for having a purpose
is to tell and share with others about the gift of eternity
through Christ Jesus. Our foundation needs to be strong so that
we never lose sight of who we are as Christians and the reason
to all that God has called us to. The final series was a 32-week
study through the major stories of the Bible set in
chronological order. The value in foundation building with The
Story was that it helped us to grasp a fuller understanding of
Gods upper story as we live within our own lower story. When
we can begin to see and understand how God works and moves, we
begin to see him working and moving in our lives today. We are
able to understand that God has a greater purpose and plan and
is working through time to reach the outcome that He desires.
We can begin to know that we can rest in Him.
Our focus in 2015 is to allow the Lordship of Christ to
reign in us. Discipleship is the key to allowing the Lord Jesus
Christ to reign in our life. We long to be a church this year
that takes the foundations that we have and that we focused on

17
this past year and build on that so that we become full
disciples of Christ. This means that we no longer perform just
motions but instead become fully surrendered to the Lordship of
Christ and all that He desires to do in and through us.
Focusing on discipleship means that as we grow in Christ, as we
fellowship and learn together, we in turn take that and reach
out and share it with someone who needs to know Jesus.
Discipleship is so very important to our Christian walks and is
extremely rewarding to our lives. It is a process of both growth
and sharing: as we are being discipled we can be discipling
others around us! Our goal as we walk this next year focusing
on discipleship will be to make the unbelieving world around us
question their disbelief in God. In other words, may we live a
life that resembles Christ so much that people come to believe
because they have seen Christ authentically in our lives.
We are so very thankful and blessed to be the pastors of
HCN. We are grateful for the love, support, and prayers of our
church ohana on Kauai as well as the District! The future of
Hanapepe Church of the Nazarene is bright because of the ONE who
holds it! We know that our God is in control and is able to do
more than we can ask or imagine. We are looking forward to the
coming year and all that God has planned for HCN!

Hilo Church of the Nazarene
Pastor Rick Ragle

Lately we have been studying 1 John in one of our small group

Bible studies at HiloNaz. 1 John 4:7-9 says, Dear friends, let
us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves
has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does
not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his
love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that
we might live through him. One thing that has identified the
Hilo Church for many years has been the expression of the love
of God. It is that love of God being expressed through His body
the Church that identifies each of us as living through him.
HiloNaz has been expressing that life of love this year through
the ministries in which we are involved on a regular basis. We
meet together early in the morning one day each week for prayer.
We meet to pray for the needs of our church, and our local, as
well as global community. It is through those times of prayer
that the ministry of HiloNaz is empowered to make Christ-like
disciples in our world. We meet to worship with a great worship
team that leads us in song as we begin and close our services.
We pray together and hear the Word of God making life changing
decisions for Christ. It is from those times of worship and
subsequent times of discipleship through Sunday School and small
groups that we are prepared and motivated to continue to make
Christ-like disciples through the ministries of our school, Hale
Aloha Nazarene School, a preschool that teaches and models the
Christian life, and our weekly outreach to the people of the
Life Care Center of Hilo. Both of these ministries reach out to
people, most of whom, will not become members of our church.
And though we are thrilled when some of these families join with
our church in the ministry of love that we have to our
community, we pray that those who receive that ministry will
become members of the Body of Christ. In our school we teach
the Bible every day and bring the children together weekly for
chapel worship. At our Life Care Service we sing the songs of
the church and preach the Word evangelistically encouraging each
of the residents, staff and visitors who make their way into the
service to give their lives to Jesus seeking His forgiveness.
It is that love of God that makes us who we are and that
motivates what we do. One of the most challenging and rewarding
ministries that we have begun are Life Transformation Groups.
It is in these micro-groups that 2 to 4 people meet together for
accountability, discipleship through Gods Word, and challenge
to reach our friends for Christ, all bathed in prayer that we
see great personal growth and renewed life.

19
Things arent easy at HiloNaz, but God is always loving and
gracious. Thank you for your prayers as we continue to reach
out to our community and our world. It is not enough to merely
get together to sing and teach, but we must reach this world for
Christ, this world that is harassed and helpless, like sheep
without a shepherd.

The Hilo Church of the Nazarene is a fellowship that is Changed

by Christ,
to Reach our World by making Christ-like Disciples in Hilo and
Beyond.

HONOLULU FIRST CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE
Pastor Art Perkins

It is my privilege to bring to you my first report as Lead

Pastor of Honolulu First Church of the Nazarene.

I would like to take a moment and give thanks to;

- Lori, for her faithfulness and support as my wife and

helpmate.
- Derick, Silas, and Noah, for support and understanding the
call of God.
- H1Naz Staff, Jake Heaton, Silas Perkins, Tyler Hull, Lynn Huma,
Rachelle Wong, Sharon Santiago, Ava & Sandi Paselio, and our
WJNS staff for your faithfulness, perseverance and great love
for the kingdom of God.
- H1Naz Family, for your obedience to the faith and your kindness
to your pastor and his family. You have truly been a blessing
- God, for calling me to do His work and blessing my family
through the Church of the Nazarene.

The past eleven months have truly been exciting ones, we have
witnessed God's power at work within the community of Honolulu
First Church of the Nazarene! We have refocused and realigned
both the School and Church with the purpose, mission, and vision
of the Church of the Nazarene. We have declared that it is Gods
will to establish Centers of Holy Fire all over the great
state we call Hawaii!

If I could share one thing that I believe is a major highlight

of this past year, that one thing would be prayer We have made
prayer a priority, prayer is the beginning of what we do, prayer
is at the center of everything we do, prayer is the end to what
has been done. We have learned over this past year that prayer
is the work, our work. I believe we the people of Honolulu First
Church of the Nazarene are finding our way back to our first
love! We have established that Gods house shall be a House of
Prayer.

As I look into the future, I can only see Gods glory being
manifested in such a way that Centers of Holy Fire will be
established in every great community upon these Islands!

Habakkuk 1:5 states,

21
"Look at the nations and watch -- and be utterly amazed. For I
am going to do something in your days that you would not
believe, even if you were told.

We the people of Honolulu First Church of the Nazarene believe!

EACH ONE DISCIPLE ONE

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved
you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know
that you are my disciples, if you love one another. John
13:34-35
The year 2014-2015, has been a wonderful year with Gods grace
and peace that guided our path that we are able to finish last
year race with praises to God. The First Samoan Church
families were face with financial and spiritual challenged. The
awesome reminder to our church families is God will meet all our
needs according to his riches. Our families were challenged to
the question that was asked to each of us.
How Can We Work Together As Members of the Body of Christ?
1. Encourage One Another We rejoice with those who rejoice;
mourn with those who mourn. 2. Love One Another As our
Heavenly Father loved us, so we must love one another. 3. Edify
One Another Let us make effort to do what leads to peace and
to mutual improvement.4. Pray for One Another Confess your
sins and pray for each other so that you may be healed.5. Serve
One AnotherDo not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; but
serve one another humbly in love.6. Honor One Another Be
devoted to one another in love and honor one another above
yourselves.7. Belong to One Another We are the body of Christ
and each one of us is a part of it.

I give praises, glory and honor to Our Heavenly Father for His
Word that we are His church. During the year 2014, our families
have been supporting Gods work with the attitude of love. Our
members continue their commitment in serving God, connecting
with the other individuals in or out of the church through the
work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. New members making
choices to serve and walk in Gods Word. Every week our bible
study groups gather with excitement in the church, outdoor or
fast food places to hear and share what God is doing in their
lives.
I want to thank my Board Members for their individual gifts to
Gods work. I thank God, we are able to send nine children and
four Junior Leader to attend this year Childrens Camp. Yes!
God will meet all our needs according to his riches. God bless
the First Samoan Church families for all your prayers and
supports. We can work together as members of the body of
Christ. I give God praises for Pastor Rick and Vicki Power for
their leadership, prayers and encouragements. I am looking

23
forward to the new year for what Gods direction in my life and
our church families.

Kailua Church of the Nazarene
Pastor Bob Miller

What a joy it is to bring to you my 9th report as the pastor of

the Kailua Church of the Nazarene. We are so very excited about
what God has done over this past year! Due to our peoples
faithfulness in service to God we have been enabled to:
Overpay our financial commitment to Nazarene World
Missions.
Send a W&W mission team of 15 to Peru for 2 weeks where we
paid for and built a Parsonage for the Masusa Church of the
Nazarene in Iquitos, Peru.
Add to our staff: an Associate Pastor in John Stout and
music leader in Jason Waldrep;
Minister to the homeless each week as part of our Wed.
evening Commons meal and our Christmas breakfast outreach.
Support our Summer Family Campout at Waimanalo Beach with a
Camp-meeting style revival. Pastor Gabe Martin was our
special speaker.
Provide $1000. each to the Burkano Water Well Project in
Africa and to our District Compassionate Ministry Center;
and to support the River of Life Mission in Honolulu both
with physical and financial support throughout the year.
We expanded our local Church ministry by creating a Sunday
Evening Worship Service at the Lani Huli Apartment Complex
where we averaged over 15 in attendance each week.
We took 11 new Nazarenes into our Church and saw many in
our congregation renew their commitment to the Lordship of
Christ.
Repaint the exterior of our church buildings with
installation of new rain gutters;
Completely remodel our property on Hualani St. enabling us
to have duplex with which to house our ministerial staff.
Upgrade our grounds next to the parsonage to include the
construction of a gezebo;

Into each year, there comes unforeseen changes and difficulties.

This year has been no different, but through it all, God has
made His presence felt and together we have borne each others
burdens, and have shown support, love and compassion. Among the
most difficult moments was saying Aloha to Pastor Anne Barkus
27
who moved to Arkansas to be close to her family due to her
physical needs.
What excites me most about this report is the vision that God
has given to us for the upcoming year as to how we can continue
to extend Gods grace to anyone, at anytime, in any way through
His Spirit at work in us
We will keep prayer a top priority developing a 1st of the
month corporate prayer time and singspiration-style
worship service.
Encourage our people to daily engage in listening to God as
He speaks though his Word.
Emphasize Small Group meetings with opportunities or
encouragement and service.
Enlarge our support in our investment to OTHERS through our
Faith Promise giving.
Preach holiness & Pray for revival as we reach out to our
community
Build a carport which will provide an Activity Room for
our Youth & Children.
Reach into our community with compassion through an
expanded commons program..
Enhance our discipleship ministry by having our people
mentor one another.

Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good his
love endures forever.(Psalm 106:1).

It is my joy to bring to you my fourth report for Kailua Samoan

Church of the Nazarene. Thank you Lord for allowing me to pastor
the wonderful people of the Kailua Samoan Church. Our Church is
doing ok.

This past year we continued to Praise Him, increased our giving

and God always blessed us even though we have had small amount
of people or rough time in attendance. Jesus said in the book of
Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three gather in my name, there
am I with them."

Let's not measure ourselves by our many programs, but rather

than we love God deeply, and that we are faithfully carrying out
our Lords Mighty Name to win the lost for His Kingdom.

My special thanks to Rev. Litsey and his congregation for your

help and support. Thank you for everything. May God Bless you
all.

A big Mahalo to Rev and Mrs Miller and their wonderful

congregation for their love and kindness for allowing us to use
their facilities, and especially sharing God's word.

Thank you all for your prayers for me and my church.

And I'm happy to report to you that all our church budgets are
paid in full.

In Prayers we always meet.

Kihei Church of the Nazarene
Pastor Tom Gudmunson

What an amazing beginning it has been for the work we refer

to as The Kihei Project Reaching the Lost!! God is on the
move and transforming lives through the power of His Holy
Spirit!
When my wife Kerry and I first arrived on Maui after many
month of prayerful preparation, we had many preconceived notions
about how the work would progress and what the Church in Kihei
would look like. Let me just say, all of those preconceived
notions have gone out the window as God is leading us on an
exciting journey!
After serving for nearly 30 years in pastoral ministry in
traditional, established churches, we find ourselves in a very
non-traditional setting. We minister each week in a Church with
no building; a church where the very foundation is being laid on
the Cornerstone of Jesus teachings on love and compassion and
obedience to the His Commission to Go; a church where
compassionate ministry is our means of reaching out to the lost.
And each week I am amazed again and again at the opportunities
God gives us to preach without words, which, in turn opens the
door for us to speak into lives that seemed too far gone to
reach with a message of hope and redemption. Its amazing to me
how a kind word or a simple gesture that says, We care, because
God cares. opens the door for us to be able to pray for and
with people we often have never met before, that moment when
they begin pouring out their fears, guilt, and often sense of
shame in moments of honesty and clarity. And we begin to walk
through life with them, doing the best we can to effectively
bear their burdens or at least attempt to help them to lay
them down at the foot of the cross.
Many have a difficult time understanding how we can only
do what we do and call it Church. To them, I can only refer to
Zechariah 4:10a which states, Do not despise these small
beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin NLT;
or I could refer them to Mitch, a man who grew up in the Church
of the Nazarene in Washington state not too far from my
hometown, whose life had been ravaged by some trauma which drove
him to acute alcoholism and drug abuse, but upon sitting and
talking one day on a picnic table in one of our parks, began to

30
weep and confess his need to return to Christ, who the very next
day checked himself into rehab and began anew his walk with
Jesus and serves with us each week. Or maybe I could refer them
to Brad, who upon meeting us proclaimed himself an agnostic, as
uninterested in God as he believed God was in him, but after six
months of allowing us to talk and pray with him weekly, thanked
us for teaching him what Jesus and a guppy love was all about,
as he was saying good-by before leaving Maui to return to Nevada
and a new beginning. Or maybe a man we simply know as Turtle
who fell to his knees and asked for prayer and forgiveness after
throwing away 2 years of sobriety for a night of partying with
other residents of the park at Thanksgiving time. And who is
reestablishing that life of sobriety and for several months has
been checking in with us weekly to report on his progress and
request prayer by the way, he is now almost 90 days clean and
sober and we often find him studying Gods Word. And the list
could stretch on and on if I were to share with you all of the
stories of the 50 60 people we regularly minister to each
week.
March 29 we are going to have our first baptismal service
in conjunction with our Parent-affiliate Church, Puk Naz. Mitch
and his friend Steve, who Mitch led to Christ, will be baptized.
I trust it will be a wonderful celebration. Please remember us
in your prayers regularly. Pray with us for Gods continued
leading and blessing. And if sometime you find yourself in Kihei
with time on your hands, come join us!!

Kona Church of the Nazarene
Pastor Ryan Fasani

Dr. Busic, Dr. Power, and HIPAC ohana,

The Kona church (KCN) has made many strides forward in 2014.
Examples of those strides are numeroushere is a sampling:
The Mason Ohana moved into their mission zone in Waimea and
continue to grow their network of friends and future
disciples.
The Paul Ohana prepared to teachEric through the Course of
Study, Joy at a local elementary school, and both through
our discipleship curriculum.
5 members have indicated a call to ministry and will enter
the COS training in 2015.

However, the defining stride KCN made was a stride toward

health. I believe 2014 will be remembered as the year KCN took
a firm stance that the Body of Christ must first and foremost be
a unified, healthy Body. Everything from unrealistic
expectations to hidden sin to unreconciled relationships
deteriorates the unity of the Body and its ability to minister.
We identified and confessed that our Body was disjointed and
diseased.

As a church, we believe that to fulfill our vision of reaching

the Big Island, we must regularly discern the Body, root out
disease, and renew our commitment to wholeness. 2014 is the
year that KCN committed to such a crucial mandate.

In the process of discerning where unhealth was in our Body, we

found that theres an overwhelming and unrealistic demand on our
pastor. While it is bad news that 2014 was the year we
uncovered just how much healing the pastors family needs, it is
great news that our KCN Body is committed to supporting and
making the appropriate investments to a healthier future.

So we strive forward, more clearly seeing our weaknesses, more

fully understanding how essential genuine health and unity is to
effective and sustainable ministry.

Respectfully Submitted,

Pastor Ryan

Living Stone Church
Pastor Samuel Lee

The spiritual condition of our church is going slowly, but going

up a little bit now. I am not happy, but it's okay because it is
moving up. You know we are living in the last days; thats why
it's not easy for them to raise up. But, I can feel God is with
our church. This is very important.

Whenever I preach Words on Sunday, I declare/preach to them to

be HIS witnesses, to be holy and to make disciples. Our church
goal this year is to make our own disciples, because Jesus is
coming much sooner than we think. So, I am sure God, the Father
is leading us to tell people the truth: that only through Jesus,
we can get into the kingdom. In these last days, there are many
famous pastors who have betrayed the church. (2 Thessalonians
2:3)

My mission (our mission) is to do Community ministry such as

Korean interpretation for hospitals, social workers, and
schools. We help people who are looking for apartment housing
and sometimes provide rides home for people. And for years, God
has given me the personal mission of healing people to give
evidence to them that God is alive.

I have a desire to invove our church in giving to local and

global mission. But we are still so weak. That is why I work
outside the church. But, whenever I have the time to meet with
people (locals, Korean, pastors), I have told them about the
Nazarene denomination and I tell them I am so proud of my
Nazarene family. I am trying to do more for global mission this
year.

The District Superintendent asked me the question: What has God

taught you this year about effective ministry in Hawaii? Very
good question! You know we are all part of the same family, but
we are so very busy taking care of own churches. I believe we
need to meet together for the weak churches to develop.
Activities such as prayer, discussions, sharing of good
information, joint worship services, etc. In order to do this,
larger churches have to stand forth and encourage the smaller
ones.

THANK YOU SO MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Pukalani Community Church of the Nazarene
Pastor Mark Gudmunson

It is my honor, and with a humble spirit that I present to you

my fourth annual report to the HIPAC District, and what a year
it has been.

God continues to bless us in amazing ways here at Pukalani

Community Church of the Nazarene. We have seen a tremendous
amount of spiritual growth among our members as a great majority
are now involved in small group bible studies, as well as prayer
meetings both at the church, and at individual homes. Through
these small groups we have been able to better support one
another in our daily walks, as well as reach into our
communities in a less intimidating way than a formal church
setting.

This past year we have placed a great emphasis on living holy

lives, and the need for entire sanctification to give us freedom
from sin. The transformation of many in our congregation is
extremely encouraging, and is apparent to all through both
spoken and lived testimonies within the body.

Over this past year, we have been very active in both our garden
ministry, which is used to provide food for the less fortunate,
as well as families and friends within our communities, as well
as our Kihei church plant which is reaching into the lives of
the less fortunate, or forgotten here on Maui. We have seen both
of these ministries grow, and have been able to use them to open
dialogue in a new and exciting ways to so many people in need of
a Savior.

Over the past year we have focused on impacting the lives of

single family units or individuals in our neighborhoods through
the sharing of food. We have found that extending a simple gift
of produce, or some sort of food item simply as a gesture of
love, opens the door for us to become involved in the lives of
those in a passive way. Once we are involved, the opportunity to
share the gospel becomes a reality, and people are responding,
to God be the glory.
We are excited for the future, excited to continue to
serve, to go forth, to make new disciples through studying of
the word, as well as sharing our lives with those who need to
know Jesus. Time is short and the fields are ripe. God is
raising us up to answer His call.

Talofa! Praise the Lord! Viia le alii!

I praise God for this wonderful fellowship. We all participate
in this cimmunity through Christ and for Christ.

This is my fourth report to the Hawaii Pacific District

Assembly. My church is doing okay, and we love to worship God
and His Holy Name. We have a new family that just moved in and
we have baptized two babies. We are still looking for a place
for our church to meet because all of the schools are too
expensive. We cannot afford it. We are still holding our
services in my house. Please pray for me and my Church. We
love you all in Jesus name.

Wahiawa Community Church of the Nazarene
Pastor John Miller

The spiritual condition of Wahiawa Community Church of the

Nazarene is similar to the spiritual condition that we read
about in the book of Acts, In the last days, God says, I will
pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will
prophesy, your young men will see visions ,your old men will
dream dreams(Acts 2:17). The church is beginning to see a
marked increase in the presence of, The Holy Spirit in the
lives of our people.

God is moving in several ways to transform lives and call

people into discipleship. First, people are repenting of their
sins and being baptized. Next, they are becoming involved in
acts of mercy for the poor and less fortunate in our community.
Finally, people are expressing a desire for organized prayer,
bible study and worship.

The ministries that have been especially fruitful this year are
as follows: 1. Solid Grounds Cafe. A coffee shop in the foyer of
the church that has become a third place gathering space for our
community. We hosted a Christmas party for Harvest Family
Ministries a foster care and adoption agency. They also use the
cafe as a prayer meeting location twice a month. We opened the
cafe for other community events and its becoming an entry point
into the church for those who would not otherwise come into a
church building.

2. NazkineTV, continues to televise messages of hope,

encouragement and victory on Olelo channel 55. Through this
ministry we birthed Nazkine Studios and are now producing
videos and other media for, Daily Disciples, a national
womens ministry founded and led by Bobbye Brooks and Tonilee
Adamson, who, incidentally, became members of our local church
last year.

Wahiawa Community church supports local and global missions

financially by paying its kingdom investments. Furthermore, we
help facilitate missions with our media efforts. We are actively
seeking new and creative ways to share the gospel of Jesus
Christ both locally and globally through all available social
media outlets in Hawaii and around the world.

One of the things that God taught me this year about effective
ministry in Hawaii is to spend more time with people the way

40
Jesus did. Ministry can become simply organized gatherings. I am
purposely focusing more on people than on programs.

I am becoming more aware of the importance of the daily

fellowship with people of all cultures. I am meeting new people
who dont attend church and who have little or no desire to
attend. I am fostering relationships with people in hopes that
they will come to know God through my love for them and the time
that I spend with them. The hope is that eventually God will
enfold them into our local community of faith so that we can
extend our influence for God throughout our community.

Wahiawa Filipino Church of the Nazarene
Pastor Jimmy Valenzuela

This is my 8th report to the Hawaii Pacific District Church of

the Nazarene. As always I begin my report by thanking God for
the privilege to partner in ministry with the Wahiawa Filipino
Church.

We at WFCN thank God for yet another year of manifold blessings.

We are blessed with continued growth in faith and love for the
Lord and His work. We are blessed with continued cooperation
and unity in the church family. We are blessed to be able to
continue what we do to participate in Gods mission, bearing in
mind, the core values of the Church of the Nazarene.

We thank God for the different ministries of our church where

our members discover and use their gifts and develop servant
hearts for the furtherance of Gods kingdom. We thank God for
all the programs, events and activities under these ministries
that serve as avenues for us to share the gospel to others
especially to those we are intentionally reaching out to.

We thank God that we are also able to continue to give

financially for the Lords work. We thank God for times of
regular worship and fellowship through our regular services,
Sunday School, prayer meetings, bible studies, NMI Sundays and
other events that deepen our relationship with God and with one
another and help us mature as Christians. I always highlight
our church family camps wherein we incorporate reception of new
members and a baptismal service. This past one, we were
privileged to have our DS and his wife, Rev. & Mrs. Rick Power,
join us for a weekend of worship, fellowship, recreation and
fun.

I also want to highlight our music ministry having formed

another Praise & Worship Team in our church composed of
children. They lead us in singing every so often in our Sunday
services. We also thank God for district programs and events
that we are able to be part of in the past year.

We cannot cease to praise God for all the things he has done to
and through our church this past year. Our hearts desire at
WFCN is to continue to accomplish the task God has entrusted us
and to continue to shine for Him. As always I want to end my
report by thanking you, our district family and also our global
church for your continued prayers, direction and support.

Windward Church of the Nazarene
Pastor Jerry Appleby

This is my sixth report as pastor of Windward Church of the

Nazarene, having celebrated our fifth anniversary the last
Sunday of January.

God continues to bless our church, school, and community

outreach at Bay View Golf Park. I praise God for a great staff:
Jamie Grubert, Administrative Assistant; Will Shine, Worship and
Connection Pastor, Will Campbell, Youth Pastor, Joy Lum Kee,
Childrens Pastor; Kay Hishinuma, School Administrator; Larry
and Lori Dunn, Bay View Golf Course. These individuals, along
with a host of members, have made it possible for me to also
serve as Executive Director of Bay View Golf Park.

Our church has had a great year, and we are on course to be debt
free in the summer of 2016.

What we will have at that time will be:

Our original campus where we house Windward Nazarene

Academy, our parsonage, and our Saturday evening service.
Over 85 acres between Kaneohe Bay and Kaneohe Bay Drive and
home to Bay View Golf Course, where we also hold our Sunday
morning services, as well as a variety of community
happenings and events.

I am deeply indebted to the churches and individuals that have

sacrificed to loan us money during this acquisition and
subsequent transition. We hope to have all promissory notes paid
by this summer.

Our theme for this year is I Believe. This not only centers
around our theological beliefs, but our faith in a God Who
desires that we dream big, faith-filled plans. We have pledged
to believe Him to guide us throughout this year in fulfilling
these dreams. Certainly WE BELIEVE that 2015-16 will be a banner
year for Windward Church, Academy, and Bay View.
