The story of Jesus coming to Hawaii begins in New Haven, Connecticut, where a young Hawaiian man named Henry Opukahaia became an on-fire follower of Christ. He would often speak of returning to Hawaii to share Jesus with his people, but sadly Henry died of Typhus Fever in 1818 at age 26. So with Henry gone how did the Gospel come to Hawaii?

It’s probably not a God Vision unless it is so way over our heads that we need to work to- gether with others in order to see it come to pass. How do we build consensus and unity so we work as one to see God’s Vision come to pass?
1 Peter 4:10 “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.” “Everyone built the section of wall in front of their homes.”
Week 1: 20/20 VISION
What is the first and foremost question to ask yourself as we begin 2020?
Obviously no one wants to make New Year’s resolutions you have no intention to keep. And although we’re talking about vision, we’re not even trying to figure out our vision for ourselves.
Instead the most pressing question is, “What is GOD’S vision for us?”
If our vision is not a God Thing then it’s not worth pursuing. So how do we like the people of Nehemiah’s day discern God’s vision for our lives? Hint: If it’s God’s will, it’s God’s bill!
“Then God stirred the hearts of the priests and Levites and the leaders of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin to go to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple of the Lord” (Ezra 1:5).

an adulterous woman has a “Face to face” encounter with Jesus.
