Weeks leading up to the Sunday sermon was filled with anxiety - excitement yet butterflies in the stomach. It had been 4 years since Guy did a church message. Added to that was the thousands of people who attend New Hope. Added to that was the satellite churches and the online download.The weekend of Aug 2nd & 3rd was a nerve wacker. Guy spoke at 2 Saturday night and 3 Sunday services. Anticipation was high and sleep was little but Guy survived and received very positive feedback. Many were glad to see him back - yes, the title Pastor Guy hasn't escaped him. We were reunited with many old friends who knew us back in the day - 13 years ago when the church started. The picture to the right are with friends whom the husband and Guy worked closely with the Hawaii prison system and the ex-inmates. This was taken after the 5th service. By the way, Guy is wearing his favorite lei - Puakinikini. Say that 5 times. The picture on the left is Guy at his desk at Pac Rim.
You can check out the message at www.enewhope.org. The title is "Make Us Learners". The praise .... since Guy spoke as part of the Pac Rim campaign, the church collected over $40,000 in just that weekend. Such a huge blessing!
