STUDENT TESTIMONIES
THURSDAY CLASSES
Candace Yee (Room 206)
Thursdays @ 6:30 PM
In 1820, the first company of American Protestant missionaries along with 4 Hawaiian young men, arrived on the shores of the Big Island. Their mission was to bring the light of the Gospel to a dark and heathen land. Through a series of Providential events, two kingdoms – the Kingdom of Hawaii and the Kingdom of God — were brought together at God’s appointed time. How is it that in less than 45 years a heathen nation is transformed into a God-fearing Christian nation, and revival occurs where thousands of Hawaiians were hungry for the Word of God? Using historical documents, the history of Hawaii presented in this study is grounded in the biblical perspective of God’s desire for all nations to know Him. Come and discover for yourself how God used the missionaries to stand before kings and work together to bring the Kingdom of Hawaii into the Kingdom of God.
Emmanuel & Christalyn Orupabo (Room 112)
Thursdays @ 6:30 PM
Our lives are always moving in the direction of our strongest thoughts. This means that what we think shapes who we are. Once we understand this interaction, the better equipped we will be to bring change. We have an enemy who is always seeking to insert lies into our minds. It is our job to become aware of these lies and free ourselves of them.
How can this be done? Philippians 4:8-9, reveals the progression from thought to action to experience. Paul tells us to think about things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent and worthy of praise and as you practice this, the God of peace will be with you.
Journey with us through *Winning the War in Your Mind by Craig Groeschel, and discover how you can change your life by using God’s Word to replace lies with Truth, act upon that Truth and experience God’s peace.

So, you want to know what is going to happen to the Churched and the Unchurched at the end of the Final Day? I will say this…the Bible is meant to be taken seriously. When it is, a clear picture of the future emerges. History will be brought to a conclusion. Not by a nuclear attack on earth but by breaking the seals in heaven on which is already written the countdown of world events. “The Final Day of Revelation” begins with the Bowl Judgments of the Wrath of God, the total destruction of the Harlot and Mystery Babylon, culminating in the binding of satan for 1000 years. Then, at the height of these events is Jesus Himself reappearing on the world stage to take personal control of the grand finale. Come, be ready and learn for yourself the promised blessings to those who seek this Book.
Angel Fredeluces (Room 203)
Sundays @ 10:15 AM
A lot of us come to God with broken and dysfunctional pieces. And that’s fine because God works to put us back together so we can take our place in His plan. Too often we want to simply move on. But we don’t realize that God’s plan for re-making us requires more than leaving broken parts in the dust. He says that we are more than overcomers. His plan is for us to resolve our issues and reconcile our relationships. We can’t just leave our mess in front of Him and move to whatever we think is next. He wants us, together with Him, to face the broken pieces of our lives so He can turn all of it into His masterpiece. And He will do things better than anything we can think of or imagine. In *Your Mess, God’s Masterpiece, Derek Webster, pastor and counselor, takes the story of Joseph and uses it to help us realize the masterpiece that God our Father is working out in us. We just have to work with Him.
