Calvary Church HSM

The team arrived safely Saturday afternoon and enjoyed various food trucks for dinner before settling in for the night at camp. Sunday morning we joined Waipuna Chapel for church. We had so much fun meeting and worshiping with them. What a great way to start our week here on Maui. 

After church we went over to the Lihaina Civic Center and the Lihaina Bypass Memorial. While there we prayed for the town, the family and friends impacted, and the legal system to allow progress to move forward in the rebuild. 

We ended our Sunday with dinner at the beach with the community. We grilled out some hot dogs and brats and invited people to join us for a meal. What a fun opportunity to connect with people and share food. 

Today we are replanting trees in places affected by the maui fires

It was burgers and blessings on Sunday after church!! Mike was a huge help!! The team ate and had a chance to talk with people there at the beach!! 

On Monday, not only did we get a chance to plant some pretty amazing native trees and plants, but the organization leader, Nico, was able to fill us in on the great work they are doing for the community of Kula! We weren’t just pulling weeds, we were preventing future fires and we weren’t just planting we were helping to restore Kula with their native plants that also add so much to the environment and promote more rain to an area that is in dire need!! We truly left some footprints and imprints here in this community!!

This team worked hard yesterday but still ended the day with smiles on their faces!! They are truly here to serve!!

No Na Kanaka; For The People. This is what the Lihaina Resource and Recovery Center represents and does. While there today we were able to build fencing around the containers, organize storage containers, and continue to work on the new office. 

After a full recreation day of hiking and swimming, we ended the night with worship at the beach together. While worshiping, people joined in with us to praise our Heavenly Father. What a great way to end our last day in Maui.
