Join us Sunday as we continue our series on "Foundations of our Faith." Our 8 AM service will be held at the University of the Nations Kona campus in a classroom tent across the road from the Ohana Court. We will have directions signs to guide the way from the campus entrance. ☀️

We are so proud of our community for being so flexible in this season. Let's keep “following the cloud by day and the fire by night” as the Lord leads us in this unprecedented season.

Join us Sunday morning online only this week!

The county has closed our church property until further notice while they review the structural plans for the steeple reinforcement. This came as a surprise to us this week and we apologize for the lateness of this message. We are certainly learning spiritual flexibility in this season like never before! We hope this is just a one week inconvenience and we will be in communication as soon as possible about next week's service. Please pray with us for this challenge to be overcome!

We will hold one 8 AM service online only this Sunday July 12th.
We encourage online giving if at all possible. Mahalo to all who have made that adjustment. #kona #kailuakona #hawaii #808

“A mist standing on the earth. A rainbow circle

“A mist standing on the earth. A rainbow circle standing on the ocean. Jesus, our loosener of faults,
From the path of Kahiki to Hawai’i here From the zenith to the horizon...The word is obtained
Knowledge, power, life.”
-High Priest Hewahewa’s chant announced Iesu, Jesus, to Boki, the governor of Oahu, and the people of Hawai’i. #rainbowstate #konahawaii #kailuakona #hawaiihistory #historyofhawaii #bigisland #hawaiianhistory #hewahewa #200thanniversary #1820

Rain or shine, we will gather at 8 this morning to worship Jesus together! If the rain keeps falling, we will be in the activity center. Otherwise, we’re out front of Mokuaikaua. Sun or rain, please bring an umbrella if you can! Mahalo ☔️ .

Due to a clerical error during WW2, Corrie Ten Boo

Due to a clerical error during WW2, Corrie Ten Boom was released from Ravensbruck one week before all the women her age were killed.
She began traveling and telling the story of her family, and what she and Betsie had learned in the concentration camp.
She recounts one story in particular:

It was in a church in Munich that I saw him—a balding heavy-set man in a gray overcoat, a brown felt hat clutched between his hands. People were filing out of the basement room where I had just spoken. It was 1947 and I had come from Holland to defeated Germany with the message that God forgives... And that's when I saw him, working his way forward against the others.

One moment I saw the overcoat and the brown hat; the next, a blue uniform and a visored cap with its skull and crossbones. It came back with a rush! The huge room with its harsh overhead lights, the pathetic pile of dresses and shoes in the center of the floor, the shame of walking naked past this man.
I could see my sister's frail form ahead of me, ribs sharp beneath the parchment skin. Betsie, how thin you were! Betsie and I had been arrested for concealing Jews in our home during the Nazi occupation of Holland; this man had been a guard at Ravensbruck concentration camp where we were sent. "You mentioned Ravensbruck in your talk," he was saying. "I was a guard in there." No, he did not remember me. "But since that time," he went on, "I have become a Christian. I know that God has forgiven me for the cruel things I did there, but I would like to hear it from your lips as well." "Fraulein," his hand came out, "...will you forgive me?" And I stood there—I whose sins had every day to be forgiven—and could not. Betsie had died in that place—could he erase her slow, terrible death simply for the asking?

It could not have been many seconds that he stood there, hand held out, but to me it seemed hours as I wrestled with the most difficult thing I had ever had to do.

For I had to do it—I knew that. The message that God forgives has a prior condition: that we forgive those who have injured us. "If you do not forgive men their trespasses," Jesus says, "neither will your Father in heaven forgive...”
