Update: Pray for the People of Maui (and How You Can Help)
On August 8 a wildfire broke out on West Maui, where our church Harvest Kumulani is located. What started off as a small brushfire quickly escalated with 50 MPH wind gusts, carrying the flames down the hills into homes and businesses. The images are devastating as we see much of Lahaina burned down. At least 36 have died. We are grieved and heartbroken for those affected. County officials are estimating billions in damages.
The majority of our congregation on Maui works and lives in and around Lahaina, meaning that many at Harvest Kumulani lost their homes, their jobs, or both in one night. Galatians 6:10 says, “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” We have set up the Harvest Maui Relief Fund to provide tangible support for our church’s local relief efforts. We will update you as we get more information. In the meantime, thank you for your prayers and your outpouring of concern and support.
Our church will be there to bring hope and the gospel to the hurting people of the island of Maui at this critical time.
