Updates on the relief effort from our Manna Hawaii Dream Center Director, Sal:
A letter from Pastor Jonavan at Grace Bible Church Maui:
Pastor Shawn & our Manna Church family ,
We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support by the Body of Christ and the local CHURCH! Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and for partnering with us here on Maui.
There is so much devastation on the island of Maui. It is beyond belief and beyond what the media is showing. What you can't see in the media is the grief and despair that people are carrying deep in their hearts. It's a spirit of hopelessness that is hitting those who lost everything.
In the midst of disaster, the people of God are showing inspirational faith, courage and leadership. We truly are witnessing LIGHT in the midst of darkness. Our church is flooded with people from our community who are serving and helping. Our first response was to provide shelter, food and much needed resources to our Maui families in need. We transported supplies by land, air and sea to get to people in crisis.
Now that larger agencies are flying in to cover these areas, we are pivoting to focus on children who are displaced and starting school this week. We are working to provide school supplies, athletic gear, meals, after school care and counseling. We are giving funds directly into the hands of the families affected.
While continuing to operate as a resource center in preparing meals and providing resources, we are now adding the much needed ministry to children. The need is constantly changing and evolving. It is a long road ahead and this is just the beginning.
Thank you for holding us up! Because of you, God is being glorified! This is a time for the church to shine in the darkness and we couldn't do it without you!
Mahalo nui loa for your love & support,
Jonavan Asato
Grace Bible Church Maui
