Summer 2014 Newsletter
Hello Everyone,
And Aloha from Hawai'i. Hope all is well. Thank you for praying for our family & all in Hawai'i during the recent Hurricane Iselle. As Pastor Joey said to me in an email 'God is so good, faithful & powerful!' He truly is, He protected us from what could have been harmful & devastating. While there was minor damages and flooding in some areas, no one was harmed. So thank you again for praying.
Below is our recent newsletter. Hope you enjoy reading.
Aloha,
Ricardo, Kristin
Timothy, Annikah & Esther

Mele CHRISTmas
Aloha & Mele Kalikimaka (Merry CHRISTmas),
We trust that you are all doing well and are enjoying the Christmas season thus far. Christmas is my favourite time of year. I enjoy seeing the lights, decorations, Christmas trees, the nativities and just the joy the season brings. Most of all, I love reflecting on the Christmas story of how a perfect and Holy God gave the very first Christmas gift, His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, the baby in a manger, who grew up to be a man, lived a perfect and sinless life and willingly gave His life on the Cross so that you and I could be forgiven of our sin and enter into a relationship with Him. What a wonderful gift!

Refreshing Times
Aloha,
It has been busy the last few months and I have been meaning to post an update but just have not found the time too. My family and I are currently in VA for a visit and it has been great having some down time, spending time with family, doing a little sight-seeing and sharing on the ministry in Hawai'i with our church family in VA. I initially came for the 2013 CEF National Conference at Ridgecrest NC, so our family decided to make the trip at the same time. It was a great conference and a great time of spiritual refreshment as I was able to hear the Word from gifted speakers, take part in workshops, fellowship with some old friends and make some new friends in the ministry. It was definitely an encouraging time and it put a lot of things into perspective for me.
Our family has been able to visit several of our supporting churches and share on the ministry. We share at two churches this Sunday, one being our home church Midway Baptist, before we make our return trip to Hawai'i on Monday.
The ministry in Hawai'i continues to grow. The Lord has allowed me to start 1 new Good News Club® at a local elementary school.
45 children are currently enrolled and at least 12 have accepted Christ! Our CYIA program begins the first week of June and we look forward to what HE will do in the lives of the precious children of Hawai'i. We hope to send our newsletter out or post online before our summer ministry begins, so you can read in more detail all that has been happening.
Thank you for your prayers for the sale of our house....the Lord has answered and it is officially SOLD! Praise the Lord!
Baby Esther is doing well. She is a bundle of joy and continues to have good health as she grows. Timothy and Annikah are enjoying time with Poppop & Beppe (Grandma & Grandpa in Dutch) and they love spending time with Uncle Matt and playing in the very big yard (8 Acres to be exact...lol).
Kristin is doing well as she also enjoys time with her family and we both appreciate the extra help with our 3 little ones :o).
I will try to post again soon, but until then the Lord's blessings and favor be upon each of you, ALOHA!

January 2013 Newsletter
Aloha Everyone,
I trust that you are all doing well. Happy Belated new year to each of you and your families and I pray the Lord's richest blessings on each of you this year and always. It has been a busy month here in Hawaii. God has been continually opening doors for the ministry.We are seeing more children come to Christ and we are seeing schools open the doors for Good News Clubs to take place. We are seeing more churches contact us for training in reaching the children. Just last week the Lord opened a door for me to go to Maui for 6 days to do training ad pioneer the ministry of CEF on that Island.I spent 3 Days doing a training workshop with 27 church staff. 17 YWAM Discipleship Training Students from Norway, Switzerland, Ireland, Scotland and the United States also attend for one day and it was a tremendous blessing. Just today I received and email from the Pastor in Maui saying that a couple of the individuals took the training they received and went into one of the local communities. They used the Wordless Book to share the Gospel with the Children and 3 accepted Christ! What a blessing to see lives being transformed by the power of the Gospel. Thank you for supporting our ministry and making an impact for His Kingdom. Blessings to you guys. I have attached out news letter for you guys to read. Hope you are encouraged by what the Lord is doing.
