The first missionaries had heard that King Kamehameha I was a very strong monarch and posed the greatest obstacle to the spreading of Christianity. But just as the missionaries were setting sail from Boston harbor, King Kamehameha I died. But how would the other monarchs of Hawaii respond, especially Queen Ka`ahumanu, Kamehameha’s favorite wife? Queens Kapiolani, Emma, and Liliuokalani. Let the women of God RISE!

The ancient Hawaiians only had an oral tradition, so the first missionaries had to create a written language then teach the ancient Hawaiians how to read and write their own language. It is a truly remarkable achievement of this first team of missionaries to Hawaii!

These newlyweds decided to have their honeymoon in Hawaii, but in 1819 this was like saying, “Hey, honey, let’s have our honeymoon in Katmandu.” Where’s that? Now you get the picture. Little did they know their honeymoon would turn into one of the greatest revivals in the history of modern Christian missions.
