STUDENT TESTIMONIES
THURSDAY CLASSES
Rebecca Furuhashi (Room 207)
Thursdays @ 6:30 PM
Have you ever had an incredible spiritual breakthrough at an altar call and the next week, had a huge blow up with a family member or close friend? Sometimes it seems as if our emotional maturity does not match our spiritual progress.
What is emotional health, from God’s perspective? This class will tackle our emotions and relational habits through the lens of Old and New Testament characters such as Joseph, David, Elijah, Jesus, Peter and Paul.
It will give you (and those under your leadership) practical skills to examine and process our feelings so that we create more room for God to speak and move in our lives.
We will also learn how to manage triggers, boundaries, and relational conflict. Come join us on a journey as we grow into emotional health in God.
Rebecca Furuhashi has served for twenty years in education as a Bible and English teacher, and in various roles in administration for Christian Academy prior to stepping down for her current sabbatical. She is passionate to see people deepen in their spiritual formation, discipleship, emotional health, and moving in the supernatural.

Angel Fredeluces (Room 207)
Sundays @ 8:30 AM
You’ve probably heard the saying, “Everything happens for a reason.” The Bible says it this way in Romans 8:28 NLT, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.” But what does that mean? How does it pertain to our lives?
God uses every and any situation in our lives to bring us to a place of influence for His glory. He refines us in the fire with the goal of conforming us to the image of His Son. This can be an extremely hard teaching, but one that we need to learn if we are to live a victorious life. We will examine the life of Joseph, who suffered greatly, and others to help you understand the providential hand of God in your life.
Angel Fredeluces is currently employed as a Safety Manager with Nan Inc., one of Hawaii’s largest construction companies. He currently serves on the Church Board, is a Care Group leader and is also active in the Prison Ministry. He and his wife Lorna have attended First Assembly of God since 1980 and have three sons.
Bob Yee (Room 203)
Sundays @ 10:15 AM
This Book begins with seven letters addressed to seven Churches in the End Times. Few would argue today that we are in the End Times. But, did you get your letter? Have you read it?
Come join us as we open and study this Book of Revelation together. In it you will find a personal journey in prophecy of Jesus’ soon return. Will you be ready for the Rapture? Do you know the role Jesus has for His Church and for His chosen?
The word ‘endure’ is used 96 times in the Bible, Matt 24:13 says, “But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.” Do you know what Jesus means? Join us and know that you know.
