Merry Chirstmas....

December-2010 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
It has been wonderful how God has work in my life since I came back to Hawaii. I came out from the mainland knowing that I will be in Hawaii for educational purpose but the Lord twisted it a bit and turn it into a very wonderful experience to go back to Chuuk and be there for three 3 months. Upon coming to Hawaii I now reside in Hilo, Hawaii and this is one of the wonderful parts of the islands of Hawai’i. I have been involved in the IYAA-group since my arrival. IYAA- International Young Adult Association it is a ministry within the United Church of Christ- Hawaii Conference. The IYAA is under the Holy Cross church in Hilo and the members were mostly islander that attended the University of Hawaii at Hilo and couple members of the church. This group is also a supporter for the mission that I had in Africa. I cannot thank them enough for their generous giving to the Lord’s work in Kenya.
I have been helping the group with leading Bible studies with them which I see that it is the very reason of my coming to Hilo. I believe that God is open up this opportunity and I don’t want to take it lightly. We have done few fundraising for the ministry and some family related things to the group. I also had opportunity to share with a small family church and been waiting for the other churches to set our time with them in the year coming.

My online classes are now coming to the end and it’s been a challenge for me but I see that the Lord is helping me through everything. I had 2 courses- ICLS 503 Perspective on Intercultural Leadership and ICLS 504 Intercultural Communication. I thank God for giving the ability to attend and understand many things that can enhance my effectiveness in the intercultural engagement. Hopefully, this summer I can be done with all and that is a huge part of my life.
Recently I have been looking for Job and I have not job and have not able to find any. I live on support from family and friends and I am thankful for their generous giving to my every need. The Lord has been doing and refining my life through many situations.
I ask that you pray for me as I continue on this ministry especially that I will be in tune with God with what he wants me to do. Many times we tend to seek what pleases man. Here are few prayer requests that I am asking your generous help with praying for:
1. The ministry here in Hilo, with IYAA, Churches, family and friends….
2. My education that I will be able to finish everything and that the Lord will provide for it.
3. For me as I look for Job so that I can able to support myself and some other related things.
4. I have concern for my mom’s health and I want to ask for praying that God will provide for her to be able to check up and get medication.
5. Continue to pray for all ministries that we are part of that we will work in peace and unity. I have heart to mobilize the islanders for the work of God and I need prayer for that. God’s timing and intervention. Also pray for my next move in ministry placing where God will place me for the preparation of what he has for me.
6. I want to ask if you have anything that you want me to pray about, you can sent me by email, facebook and even visit my blog to post it.
