PENTECOST SUNDAYSunday, May 24th, is the celebration of Pentecost in the life of the Christian Church. Tradi-

tionally, it is known as the birthday of the Christian faith, as it is on that day that the Holy Spirit came to those first followers of Jesus, and filled them in such a way that they went out into the streets of Jerusalem and shared the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus to many people.

The story, in Acts 2, tells of how that Spirit gave the followers the ability to speak in many dif-ferent languages, so that all who were in Jerusalem could understand what was being shared with them. As a way of recalling how the Gospel should be shared in all languages, the First Lesson on Pentecost Sunday will be read in seven different languages by different KLC members: Hawaiian,Mandarin, Dutch, Ilocano, Tongan, Japanese, and Indonesian.

As this is truly a day of celebration, you are encouraged to wear red.

NOISY OFFERING Sunday, May 31st, is the fifth Sunday of the month, so it’ll be a day to receive a

“Noisy Offering”. During the Keiki Message, the keiki will go throughout the congrega-tion with tin cans, collecting any loose change that worshipers have with them. In prep-aration for that, you are asked to start setting aside all of your change, and bring it with

you to worship that morning. “Silent Money” (checks made out to KLC and paper bills) is also wel-come.

May’s “Noisy Offering” will be given to a global mission project that the Hukilau Conference has taken on in conjunction with Pastor John Lunn, a former Hukilau Conference pastor who is now a missionary in Africa. The project involves financially assisting a woman by the name of Benedette from Tanzania who works at the Lutheran guesthouse in Mwanza. The bones of her one leg were shattered by a bomb that was inside an abandoned suitcase at the entrance of the home which ex-ploded when she picked it up. The goal is to raise $13,000 for the much needed surgery to repair Benedette’s leg as well as her follow-up care.

As part of the worship service on Sunday, April 26th, a number of the KLC Mission Team members that went on the trip to Homes of Hope in Fiji reported back to the congregation about their experiences. The stories and photographs that they shared were both inspiring and engaging (see the article and pictures elsewhere in this newsletter). In all, it was an amazing time for the group – one where they received as much as they gave in terms of their faith and life.

While numerous stories were shared, there was one thing that stood out for me –something that I have experienced as well, having travelled in that part of the world. The group talked about going to Fiji, assuming they would encounter people who were very poor, and struggling with that fact in their lives. What they found was that the people were, indeed, poor. But they weren’t necessarily unhappy with their lives. Quite the opposite, many of them were very happy and content with their lives. They had no need to change anything – no need to somehow improve their lives through the possession of things. That’s what I had seen as well. I met many children and adults who virtually had nothing, but they were the happiest peo-ple I’ve ever experienced in my life. Why was this? It’s because they were content with what they had.

In John 10:10, in describing himself as the Good Shepherd, Jesus says that he has come that “they (believers in him) may have life, and have it to the full.” Some translations speak about having “abundant life”. More often than not, we think of abundant life as having everything we need and want. More often than not, it has to do with material possessions. And often times we want to believe that when Jesus talks about giving us abundant life, it has to do with having those things that we desire.

Now, please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not against having possessions. I have plenty of them, and am grateful for them. But is that really what Jesus is offering in this verse from John 10? When he speaks about having an abundant or full life, is that what he has in mind – happiness and completeness that’s found in what you own? I don’t believe so. The abundant life he’s referring to is that which comes from being in rela-tionship with him, and that’s what we clearly need to remind ourselves of, over and over again.

As we continue on in the Easter season, the message will focus on the Good News of the Resurrect-ed Christ. And what we’ll hear is that the fullest, most abundant life possible is found in the fact that God came to this earth in Christ, gave up his life for us on the cross, and was raised to life that we might be claimed as God’s own children. What fuller life can you have than that? And when you live with that Good News, you find that real happiness and fulfillment is found in that truth, rather than in the amount of posses-sions you have. Maybe that’s why the people who have so little are often the ones who are so happy. May you live the full life that Christ offers, and may it bring you complete happiness and fulfillment because he is in your life!

Ke Akua me ke Aloha,

APRIL ANGELS An angel that surfaced during the month of April was Lynn Carl-

son, who stepped forward and agreed to fulfill a vacant spot on the church council, the term of which runs until June 30, 2016. Mahalo nui, Lynn, for offering your time and talents to help out in this way. It’s greatly appreciated by us all.

Dave & Sam (Shannon) Mather also need to be declared KLC angels for the month of April. On two different Sundays they picked up a group of women participants from the Haggai Institute and brought them to worship at KLC. And not only that, they also took them to lunch, took them shopping, and assisted one of the woman who had had her carry-on bag stolen that contained many important things for her. Mahalo nui for showing the love of Christ to these sisters of ours in the faith. You faith shone through in all that you did.

Fiji Short Term Mission TripBula! (Hello!) A diverse team of ten of us participated in the short term mission trip to Fiji, at least one person represent-ing each decade of life from teens to seventies!

Homes of Hope's vision is to create a culture where women and children are free from the stigmas and cycles of forced sex. They do this by working with 2 target groups:

First, Homes of Hope work with individual girls and young moms who are vulnerable. These include girls and young women who are pregnant or have a child or children 2 years or younger. The Homes of Hope campus, where we stayed and worked, is a safe haven to ensure these girls can be protected, nurtured and taught life skills so they never have to look to the sex trade to support themselves or their families.

Some of the pregnant young women are in hiding until their child is born and given up for adoption. None of the girls there during our time there were victims of human trafficking. But they all needed empowerment, support and protection. They were identified as high risk because the stigma of being pregnant out of wedlock is so large that they may end up in the sex trade as a last resort.

Second, Homes of Hope works with communities. They work with approximately 40 communities and villages to cre-ate safety nets to identify vulnerable girls, to sensitize communities, to provide training and education, and to hire “Gatekeepers”, who are leaders in their communities empowered to work to stop human trafficking. Within the communi-ties, Homes of Hope also teaches life skills, inner strength and financial independence.Although we weren't working directly with victims of human trafficking, in the end it became apparent that the work we did was still helping the entire organization achieve their vision.

We spent our days working from 8am to 5pm with an hour break for lunch. Sharon was prepared to teach the young women sewing skills and so each morning she taught in the sewing room. The young women enjoyed their time with Auntie Sharon so much that they would often come back in the afternoons during their free time to continue to sew to-gether. Dawn, Jenna, and Drew were tasked with getting the Botiki dorm ready for an upcoming 3-day and 5-day camp for girls who are actively involved in child prostitution. Their tasks included hauling heavy furniture and lumber, sanding concrete walls, prepping and painting five interior rooms, four bathrooms, and painting the rafters. Most of the other team members took time to help out as their own schedules allowed. And Jenna, Drew, and Dawn each spent a few hours in the nursery, reading to the children, playing games, and teaching them. Drew had an opportunity to spend a day helping out on a construction project where they are building a new kitchen and dining room that will seat 100. And Dawn had an opportunity to teach a short class for the young women on being created in the image of God, self-worth, and being em-powered to make good choices.

Joy helped out with painting, sanding, and hauling on multiple days. She also helped out with a library organization pro-ject and with the children in the nursery. Lottie was given the opportunity to put her LPN skills to use as she worked at the nursing station providing relief for the nurse on staff. The nurse was on her last tube of antibacterial cream when Lot-tie rolled in an entire suitcase filled with medical supplies. Lottie also was able to teach the young women hospitality and housekeeping skills learned from her former work as a housekeeping director at a large hotel. The young women can use these skills to help get a job in the tourism industry. Kathy worked in the library and, as a retired dental hygienist, checked all the young women and their children's teeth plus many members of the staff. She taught proper brushing and flossing which was a huge blessing to the residents as none of the them had ever received instruction from a dental pro-fessional. Mary helped with the painting an entire workday, helped with the library project, and helped Sharon in the sew-ing room. Richard spent his days in the nursery and preschool and those kids would hang on him, fall asleep on him, and come running up to him for hugs all day long. On campus, the children don't have a lot of male interaction so having Richard's attention and care was a huge blessing for them. And finally, Sharon's niece, Susan, also helped out on the mission trip and she was able to take photos for Homes of Hope and revamp their guest manual and planning guide to provide more accurate and up to date information.

Our team ate each lunch and dinner with the young women residents and their children. This allowed us to really get to know the young women. Our team also participated in a Wednesday night worship service where we taught the staff and residents the song, Lord of Aloha, and each took a few minutes to share how God is working in our lives. The women on our team also hosted a Spa Night for the young women residents, giving manicures and pedicures and hand exfoliation and massages. Additionally, we partnered with the young women residence to surprise the Homes of Hope counselor and instructor with a tea party and time of celebrating all she does for these young women.

We would like to thank you all for your prayers, donations, and financial contributions. We were able to bring eight huge suitcases full of supplies, and give Homes of Hope an additional donation to fix their sewing machines, purchase office supplies, and purchase all of the paint and materials needed to ready the Botiki Dorm. Homes of Hope told us that no other group has brought so many donations!

If you might consider participating in a future mission trip with Kihei Lutheran Church, please let Sharon or Dawn know. Vinaka! (Thank you!)

Interested in Playing Chimes Next Year?If you are interested in being a member of our wonderful chimes group, please send me a note. I spend the summer choosing music and marking music for the coming year. I need to know who my members are and if they have any conflicts before I start marking the mu-sic. It's very difficult to switch things around after everything is marked. So, if you are inter-ested in joining our chimers, please let me know by June 1. If you are a snowbird and have

wondered about joining, just give me the dates you are here and I can add you to our group. Yes-it's that easy. I just need to know earlier than later.

We would love to have you! We are an enthusiastic, hard-working group that has a lot of fun. We meet every Monday from 5:30-6:30 in the large room in the church. We play for the congregation once a month and twice a month during the winter months of January-

March.
