My Story....
I was primarily raised in the Presbyterian church as a child. During my occasonal visits to my grandmother, I would attend the Sterling and Loveland SDA churches with her. I came into the the Adventist faith after searching and studying with other religious groups while I attended college in Hawaii. I, along with my Dad, was baptized into the Honolulu Central SDA Church after an evangelism series with Pastor George Atiga in 1997. I also met my wife there and was married in 2000. My wife attended Uchee Pines during 1997 to 1998. Both my wife and I have been actively involved in the SDA churches where we lived (New Mexico and Hawaii). I have grown in my walk with Christ during my service to the Lord as deacon, Health & Temperance Leader, and recently, as a Sabbath School Superintendent/Teacher. My knowledge of the Bible and of Christ as my Saviour, HIgh Priest, and soon coming KIng has expanded as result of teaching and homeschooling our three children, along with my wife. Both my wife and I feel a strong desire and leading to begin and intensify the Health/Evangelism work here in Hawaii, with an urgent conviction that time is short and the Lord’s coming is soon. Currently, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, there is no training available here to meet the current needs to train workers for the Lord in practical ministry and be co-laborers with Him in these last days. We trust that God will lead us back to Hawaii to train others in our churches there and finish the work that God has started in theHawaiian Islands.
Why I Want To Be Trained....
My wife was impressed by the Holy Spirit to check the Eden Valley website and we came upon The Well Program curriculum and information. I am particularly interested in joining the program because I have never had practical training in lines of health/evangelism in the SDA church and feel that I need to be properly trained to be of greater use in reaching my family, relatives, inactive church members, and the greater masses/souls for Christ and HIs kingdom. I also plan to return, along with my family, back to Hawaii, to strengthen our Health/Evangelism presence back home. My parents attempted to start a LIfestyle Center/Bible Evangelism Training Center a few years back, but were met with some misfortune. I believe the Lord still has the same property, if not another one, in hold and still available for such an establishment; if we choose to move forward for the Lord. We have shared our plans with our current pastor and some like-minded brethren who are very supportive of the work, and who are praying for doors to open again for such an establishment and presence in Hawaii. We have come in contact with other church members and guests (potential residents) who have financial means and/or skills and interest in starting or participating in such a work as this in their home area, and are praying (with us) for God to open doors to start a “Hawaiian” LIfestyle Center/Training Center.
What Will I Do With This Training....
I have an A.S. Degree focusing on Physical Theapist Assistant and my wife is a Physical Therapist by training. Lord willing, we plan to purchase a home in the country in order to draw closer to Christ and to raise our children according to God’s plans and in order to prepare for the time of no buying or selling, and to position ourselves where we can be a help and a blessing to those around us. We are also praying that God would open doors for us to open a Lifestyle Center/Training Center, along with a Country Life Restaurant on the island of Oahu to reach the people of Honolulu and throughout the islands of Hawaii. We trust that we can work full-time as health educators at the Health Center, similar to the Eden Valley LIfestyle Center, and are currently training our children to be His co-laborers in this vast field, as well.
