Launching Soon!
Join us in prayer as we are in preparation to launch a brand new grassroots work here on Maui!
Acts 2:42–47 (NLT) — 42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. 43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity--47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.
Would you like to join our launch team and/or be part of this movement?

BEAUTIFULLY SCARRED
Transparency means we are no longer living a facade or casting a shadow. Transparency allows His light to shine through us.”
We all have scars, and there's nothing wrong with that. Some of us are scared physically, and some are scared mentally or emotionally. We live in a world that looks upon our scars as a weakness, and labels our scars as flaws. We try to hide and cover up our scars so that others can't see how flawed and weak we really are. This is not the way to live, and I would like to encourage you to be bold enough to live differently and quite the opposite of that.
Our world, and sometimes even the church can, more often that not, be a very shallow place. We are conditioned to mask, hide, and cover up the truth so that we don't show weakness and vulnerability. This is no way to live. Transparency is the way to live empowered and truly free in Christ. Transparency means we are no longer living a facade or casting a shadow. Transparency allows His light to shine through us. A lack of transparency keeps us living in the dark.
These dark places of our lives have become surrounded by religious stigmas and judgements by many in the church, and consequently we live in an isolated dungeon that hinders us from embracing freedom in Christ. The freedom to be scarred. The freedom to be weak and in need of God's amazing grace that truly strengthens us to live in this world.
God doesn't waste anything, especially your scars. There is a scarred man in Heaven today and His name is Jesus. His scars have made provision for healing in your own heart, mind, and body. Scars are proof that God still heals today. Don't hide them from others, but wear them bravely as proof that Jesus loves you.
We all have a story, and your story is ultimately His glory.
