A. DISTRICT OFFICERS

1. District Superintendent

Dedicated to my father,

Donald Richard Power

December 21, 1936 – April 1, 2015

Dr. Busic, Members and Friends of the Assembly,

It is with great joy and gratitude that I present to you my

first report as your District Superintendent. The first time I

58 stood on this platform was in July of 1980. I had come to

Honolulu First Church to be the associate pastor of youth and

music. Jerry Appleby was the senior pastor, Florence Teruya was

in the choir and Gordon Wong was in the teen group. That was

when our deep and lasting friendship with the churches and

people of the Hawaii-Pacific District began. Our son, David, was

born here on King Kamehameha Day, 1981. I stood here again in

July of 1992, as our family was on our way to Taiwan to begin

our journey as Nazarene missionaries. People on this district

supported us, prayed for us and provided hospitality on our

vacation stops as we traveled back and forth to Asia for sixteen

years. Then, in January of 2008, we were honored once again by

being called as senior pastor of Honolulu First Church. We

thought, God must really love us; he keeps making a way for us

to serve among the beautiful people of Hawaii. Our daughter,

Rachel, not sure on which side of the ocean she belonged, found

a home right here in the middle of the sea.

Five years ago, with tears and questions, we tore ourselves away

from you to accept a pastoral assignment in Olathe, Kansas. We

thought that was most likely the end of our service in Hawaii.

We were destined to live in cold, flat country, far from any

59 ocean, where church budgets include thousands of dollars each

year for snow removal. Had God stopped loving us? Of course not.

We were honored to serve the wonderful people of College Church.

But, imagine our surprise and delight when your search committee

contacted us about this opening in the office of District

Superintendent. It was an invitation that our hearts immediately

warmed to. And when you elected us at this time last year, we

gave thanks to God for giving us the opportunity to return to

these islands and people that we love. So, here I stand again,

thirty-five years later, experiencing the thrill and challenge

of ministry in Hawaii.

Gratitude

In this first year as your superintendent, there are some people

who have gone beyond the call of duty in helping me to learn the

things necessary to do this job. Our District Secretary, Mike

Litsey; Treasurer, Kona Hahn; Finance Committee Chair, Rick

Ragle; the members of the District Advisory Board and Mission

Strategy Team—all these have served you well by helping this

rookie DS understand the history, present condition and future

challenges of our district. And, a special word of thanks, to

60 Bob Killen, who has made himself available to answer questions

and offer counsel whenever I contacted him. This is the first

district assembly in forty-two years that the Killens have not

been in attendance. Bob and Ruth are members of our ohana

forever and are always welcome among us. Their encouragement and

prayers for Vicki and me are deeply appreciated.

I’m grateful for the friendship and counsel of our General

Superintendent, Dr. David Busic. He is in jurisdiction not only

in Hawaii, but also in the Asia-Pacific Region. So, we have had

the opportunity to travel together in some very interesting

places. We welcome David & Christi to this assembly and look

forward to these days together and also to the Ministry Team

Retreat this October, when Dr. Busic will be our speaker.

Theme: Fan Into Flame

The theme I’ve chosen for this assembly and my report is from

2 Timothy 1:6. In his apostolic ministry of preaching the Gospel

and planting churches throughout the Mediterranean world, Paul

needed a corps of ministry partners. One of his most trusted

61 coworkers was a young man, named Timothy. Timothy was a hapa

child—his mother was a Jew, his father was a Greek. We don’t

know if his father was a Christian, but Paul’s letter tells us

that Timothy was a third-generation believer—something very

unusual in those early days of the church. Timothy’s

grandmother, Lois, and his mother, Eunice, were Christians. And

there came a time in Timothy’s life, when he acknowledged God’s

call to become a minister of the Gospel. The Apostle Paul

himself had ordained Timothy, laying his hands on him and

conferring spiritual authority for ministry.

Of all the Christians who have ever lived, you might think

Timothy was equipped for ministry fruitfulness like no other. He

had the Christian influence of his family, he was called and

gifted to participate in the historic expansion of the church

during the first century A.D., and to top it all off, Timothy

was mentored and trained by Paul, who invited his young protégé

to be his partner on missionary adventures. But, when Paul

writes this second letter to Timothy, there is a tone of concern

and exhortation. In verses 6-7, Paul says, “I remind you to fan

into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying

62 on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us

timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”

Why did this highly qualified young minister need this word? Did

he have a temperament that was naturally timid and lacking in

confidence? Had something happened in his life to create fear or

reluctance? Was the opposition the missionaries faced in a

hostile environment causing Timothy to lose heart? We don’t

know. But we do learn an important lesson from this passage: You

may have everything humanly desirable for the work of ministry—

family heritage, education, training, gifts, calling, a ministry

assignment and connections to powerful leaders. But if you don’t

have the presence of the Holy Spirit filling you and the power

of the Spirit enabling you, all the rest of those things mean

nothing.

Just like a fire that’s dying out. You have to rekindle it, stir

it up, fan it, stoke it! So Paul writes to Timothy and says,

“Dude! It’s time to get stoked again! Timothy, remember who you

are! God, by his Spirit, lit a fire in you. But lately you’ve

just been playing it safe. You’ve been hanging out in your

comfort zones. Where is the boldness, the courage, the risk? The

63 world will not be changed by nice harmless Christians. Timothy,

you are a Spirit-filled instrument for God’s saving, healing,

reconciling work in this world. But, that fire has lost its

heat. It’s nothing more than an ember that’s in danger of going

out. Fan into flame the gift that is in you!”

We’ve all had the experience of building a fire and trying to

keep it going. You need tinder and kindling and larger pieces of

wood, all arranged just the right way. Then you need a spark or

a match. When you get tired of trying to start it the Boy Scout

way, you get out the lighter fluid or a flame-thrower and get

that thing started! And fires don’t feed themselves. They need

constant attention and a source of energy from outside or they

will eventually die out. So it is with the flame of the Holy

Spirit. The Church of Jesus Christ is not designed to run on

human energy, intelligence or creativity. The Church of Jesus is

empowered only by the presence and gifts of the Holy Spirit.

This fire of the Spirit must be fueled by the energy (wind,

breath) of God himself.

So, the Church of Jesus, filled with the Spirit of Jesus, learns

to breathe in and out. We breathe in the energy of the Spirit

64 through prayer, worship and the truth of the Word. We breathe

out the energy of the Spirit through compassion, service,

encouragement and evangelism. No one survives by only breathing

in or only breathing out. The holy respiration of the living

Church of God must have both.

I’m so grateful for the outstanding examples of Christlike

service I see across our district. When you offer friendship and

tutoring to immigrant children, when you give a bottle of cold

water and a Spam musubi in Jesus’ name, when you offer recovery

ministries to people who have lost their health, families and

livelihoods because of addiction, when you counsel a young

single woman with an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy—in all

these ways and more, you are breathing out the life and love of

the Spirit.

This is what Nazarenes do. Our church was named after the One

about whom it was said, “Can anything good come out of

Nazareth?” That backwater, that hick town? “But the stone the

builders rejected became the cornerstone.” So, we who call

ourselves by the name of the Nazarene must be the kind of people

who take what the world throws away and find beauty and

potential in it. We find broken or marginalized or oppressed

65 people and we see in them the image of God—a spark of the

divine—and we seek to fan it into flame.

Breathe in the life of the Spirit; breathe out the life of the

Spirit.

When we reflect upon the lives of our churches and district, we

see this reality demonstrated. Let’s take a look.

Our Growing, Changing Ministry Team

In the past year, we have welcomed some brand-new and some

returning pastors and staff to our district ministry team:

Art & Lori Perkins arrived in May to pastor Honolulu First

Church. They have added Tyler Hull and Silas Perkins to their

staff. Tyler and Silas are serving in both the church and

Waolani-Judd Nazarene School.

66 Larry & Lori Dunn joined the Windward staff last May to provide

leadership for the Bay View Golf Park. Both Larry and Lori are

ordained elders who bring multiple ministry and administrative

gifts to this assignment.

Tom & Kerry Gudmunson moved to Maui in June, where they are

giving leadership to our new church project in Kihei. This area

of the Valley Isle has been on our hearts and minds for many

years. We’re thrilled to be making a good beginning in this

neighborhood.

Chaplain Bill Gritton and wife, Andrea, have been blessing the

Ewa Beach Church with their enthusiastic involvement. Last year,

the church hired Andrea to be their Children’s Pastor. Andrea

also served as co-director of Children’s Camp this year.

John and Rachel Stout, formerly stationed at Kaneohe Marine

Corps Base, have returned to Kailua English where John is

serving as youth pastor.

67 Ashley Kawabata has been a part of The Bridge Church since she

was a young girl. Now, as a young adult, she has accepted the

invitation to serve as youth pastor at her home church. This is

a wonderful example of raising up homegrown leaders for our

churches.

Taylor & Bella Puapuaga are long-time friends and co-workers on

our district. We welcome them back home and are grateful to have

Taylor serving as a volunteer associate pastor at Living Waters

Church.

When I arrived on the district, Rev. Killen had done all of us

the great service of having every church filled. There were no

pastoral resignations until our dear friend, Vaelua Piliati

announced to me that God was leading her and her husband back to

their native Samoa. In December of last year, Brother Eugene

(Lee) Piliati was elected to succeed his mother as the second

pastor of Cup of Water Outreach. Lee and his new wife, Loa, are

beloved members of our district family. We now welcome them into

the fellowship of pastors and pledge our prayers and support.

68 Ministry Challenges and Breakthroughs

During the year, I conducted church/pastoral reviews at Hanapepe

and Hilo. These were opportunities for me to 360-degree

perspective on the life and health of these churches and their

relationships with their pastors. In both churches, the board

voted to continue the current pastoral arrangements. I am

working to improve the instruments I use for these regular

evaluations of congregations, boards and pastors.

It’s been exciting to travel the district these past eleven

months and survey the spiritual and human landscape of our

churches. When our pastors present their annual reports, you

will hear stories of transformation and spiritual breakthrough.

As I have visited our churches around the district, I’ve been

hugely encouraged by the obvious signs of life, love and

missional vitality. Some of our churches are right on the verge

of a breakthrough to the next level of congregational maturity,

numerical growth and community influence. The fire of the Spirit

has been fanned into flame producing the love, power and self-

discipline that always mark the healthy church of Jesus.

69

Some of our churches have seen major advances related to

finances and meeting space. This coming Sunday, April 12, Living

Waters Church will move to its new location, the Seagull School

of Ko Olina. This new facility will enable the church to save

about 75% on rental compared to the cost their former location

and the Seagull School is still within the city limits of

Kapolei.

After years of wrangling with county and city government

departments, Pukalani Community Church has finally secured

approval for consolidating their two parcels of land so that

they can proceed with planned renovation and expansion. This was

the result of a lot of perseverance and prayer on the part of

Pastor Mark and the church family.

Two years ago, the Windward Church took a bold step of faith to

purchase the Bay View Golf Park. The facilities and land of Bay

View offer manifold opportunities for the church and school to

expand their ministries, activities and service to the

community. Though the acreage was a bargain, the debt load has

70 been a serious challenge for the church. I am glad to report

that, under the leadership of Pastor Appleby and the Windward

Vision Team, great progress has been made on the debt-reduction

plan. There is realistic hope that the church can be debt free

by 2016. Gratitude is due to all the individuals and churches

that have come alongside the Bay View project with prayer and

financial support.

Connection Point, Kailua English and Wahiawa Community have made

significant improvements to their facilities all of which are

strategic in the ways they will enable these churches to engage

with their neighbors.

Connectional Blessings

We are a connectional church, joined together with all Nazarenes

in a global network that expresses itself in shared theological

affirmations, joint participation in mission and mutual support

through giving. This year, the churches of the district have

given generously and proportionately to ensure that our

71 connectional interests remain strong. Here is the year-end

report on our Kingdom Investments:

Goal Received

World Evangelism $ 94,093 $ 98,092 104.3%

Education $ 38,557 $ 37,848 98.2%

Pensions $ 38,557 $ 37,796 98.0%

District $119,956 $118,329 98.6%

Churches also gave toward special global mission projects and

Work & Witness trips in the amount of $90,474, bringing our

total giving to missions to $188,566, or, 11% as a district for

global mission giving.

72 I want to acknowledge the exceptional generosity of the nine

churches whose total giving to missions totaled 10% or more:

Ewa Beach Kailua English True Freedom

Hanapepe Kailua Samoan Wahiawa Community

Hilo Pukalani Community Windward

Ewa Beach and Kailua English each gave over 20% for global

mission this year. We commend these congregations for their

leadership in giving to world evangelism.

Being a connectional church means we give and receive in

ministry to one another. In the past year, the Hawaii Pacific

District has been the recipient of generous grants of assistance

from the USA/Canada Region.

Every year, Nazarene churches receive offerings for

Alabaster, which go to purchase land and to construct or

repair church buildings and parsonages all over the world.

Some of the facilities on our district were originally built

73 with Alabaster funds. When we learned that Alabaster funds

designated for USA/Canada go unused each year, we decided to

apply. In the past year, we have received assistance to six

churches totaling $127,000 for much needed repairs,

renovations and expansion projects.

When Tropical Storm Iselle battered the Puna District of the

Big Island last August, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries

sent $20,000 to aid in the disaster relief.

Hope Funds are special matching gifts to new church projects,

also administered by the USA/Canada Regional office. By

committing $40,000 to assist four of our church planting

efforts, we received a matching gift of $40,000 in Hope

Funds.

These are a few examples of the way our connectional church not

only receives from us but also generously gives back to us.

74 Church Multiplication Efforts

If you look at the ten-year statistical comparison for our

district, you discover that in 2005, we had twenty-two organized

churches and in 2015, we have twenty. In the past ten years, we

have brought two new churches to the point of full organization—

Living Waters and True Freedom. In that same time, we have

closed some churches and lost some to other denominations. Even

though church planting has been a priority for the district for

many years, we have suffered a net loss in number of fully

organized congregations.

I’m sorry to report that last December, our new Korean church,

Hawaii Korean, left our district to join another denomination.

And the anticipated launch of a new Hispanic work, El Puente,

has been delayed.

What do we learn from these experiences? We are reminded of

something we already knew: church planting is hard. A successful

church start requires a potent mix of several key ingredients: a

pastor who is called and willing to persevere, a nucleus of

people who have a passion to see their community transformed, a

76 strategy for holistic service & evangelism and a strong,

persistent corps of prayer partners. Church planting is hard,

but we remain committed to do what is hard.

Though there have been setbacks and disappointments, there are

also signs of life and progress. The compassionate outreach in

Kihei is bringing together a new community of fellowship and

worship. The Kona Coast mission team is continuing to immerse

themselves in the communities of North & Central Kona and

Waimea, believing that God will grow their team and bring to

fruition the vision for new churches all along the Kona Coast.

Please keep praying for missionary pastors Tom & Kerry

Gudmunson, Eric & Joy Paul and Tony & Colleen Mason. In fact, we

should all agree together that if you are a part of the Hawaii-

Pacific District, one of the things you do as an expression of

your membership in this family is to pray regularly and

fervently for expansion of the church through the establishment

of new communities of worship and service. I know God wants to

inspire us to continue to do the hard and essential work of

church planting.

77 Developing Local Ministers

As I consider the challenges that we face together in these

islands, one unavoidable conclusion I’ve drawn is that we must

find ways to raise up homegrown ministers for the church in

Hawaii. In our history, we have seen how God can call, equip and

use people who are from the U.S. mainland and other places. I’m

confident God will continue to bring very effective ministers

from outside Hawaii. But I believe the long-term viability and

strength of our district will require a growing cohort of local

men & women to serve and lead our churches.

If this is going to happen, we need a new vision and methodology

for ministerial preparation. Our Course of Study is good and

necessary, as far as it goes. But along with our classes, we

need a holistic approach that includes mentoring relationships,

opportunities for ministry internships in our churches, and

practicums that will expose our students to all kinds of

ministry contexts and models.

78 Of course, I would love to see all of our young people who are

called to service in the church attend Pt. Loma Nazarene

University and to see some go on to Nazarene Theological

Seminary to receive the outstanding preparation those schools

offer. But here’s what we have learned: The cost of education is

high and most of our students graduate with loans to repay. At

the present time, we don’t have ministry positions in Hawaii

that offer enough compensation to enable a recent graduate to

service his or her school debt. So, while we’ll continue to

support our students who are led away from Hawaii to study, we

also need alternatives.

In the coming year, I will work with our district leadership to

design a pilot program for the intentional and aggressive

development of local ministers. There are some wonderful ideas

and dreams already at work. This will require a significant

investment of human and financial resource. The budget that will

be presented to you tomorrow includes a generous amount for this

first year of exploration. And, as for the human element, I know

God is already speaking to many of you about ways you can

participate in this effort.

79 This was the spirit of Paul’s relationship with his young

friend. Timothy was blessed with a mentor who poured his life

into him. Timothy’s ministerial training came in the form of an

invitation from Paul to travel with him on his missionary

journeys. Paul trusted the young Timothy to oversee the churches

while Paul moved on to other places. And when Timothy needed to

be held accountable for his ministry, Paul was there to remind

him: “Fan into flame the gift that is in you.” This is a

timeless model. We come alongside young men and women and trust

God to help us transmit to them the knowledge, competencies and

passion for ministry.

I want to be accountable to you to fan the flame of the Spirit’s

fire in my own life. The time is too short, the needs are too

great and the work is too important for any of us to pretend we

are competent in ourselves to fulfill our high calling. But, as

we together breathe in and breathe out the life of the Kingdom,

we will witness transformation in our churches and communities

for the glory of God. “For the Spirit God gave us does not make

us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”


Richard D. Power

80 2. District SDMI Chair

Aloha Hawaii Pacific District Ohana,

The word ‘Kingdom’ can be literally translated to: ‘a domain

that is ruled’ or ‘a dominion where one is King’. I have

strived to lead Hawaii Pacific SDMI with the Biblical heart and

mind set that – our worship, our education, our gatherings, our

God-given talent is all for our King (Jesus) and his domain (the

Church, the non-followers of Jesus, and all of HIS Creation).

1. The First Kingdom movement accomplished was to ORGANIZE a

faithful working council. Ps Joe Crosby, Ps Rick Ragle, Ps

Joy Lum Kee, Ps Robert Miller, Ps Lori Leibbrand, Rachelle

Wong (sec), Sandi Paselio, Sherry Monico (tre$), Jake

Heaton (NYI Pres), and DS Rick Power (boss). Mahalo to

this leadership team for your hard work to build the

Kingdom.

2. The Second Kingdom movement is ACCOUNTABILITY $ ACCOUNTING

We count because it is an important (not THE tool) tool to

monitor the growth of the Kingdom.

a. Total Worship (2014)------------------------------2239

i. Total Worship is all combined worship services

and not just Sunday morning.

b. Small Groups & Sunday School (2014)---------------1998

c. Responsibility List (2014)------------------------4221

81 i. What’s not accounted for is all the ‘outreach’

hours and ‘outreach/service’ events each Church

does outside our walls to build the Kingdom.

3. The Third Kingdom movement was to EQUIP. We partnered with

the District to assist and sponsor financially the ‘Tell

the STORY’ Conference led by Reverend Ray Neu. This

training event was held September 24th-26

th. All District

Pastors, leadership, and teachers were invited. We learned

Biblical story telling and how to facilitate/cultivate

creative questions to bring out God’s Biblical truth. We

were reminded that yes! - God has gifted many to teach, but

all in the group can teach through their God revelation.

4. The Fourth Kingdom movement was to RE$OURCE.

a. Resourcing our Teens for Nazarene Youth Conference –

NYC Kentucky 2015. We were able to assist and award

10 teens financially through an essay scholarship

competition. Congratulations to Anika Wong (Bridge

Church OAHU) for winning $500 first place and Shania

Miner (Hanapepe Church KAUAI) for earning $250 in

second place. All other teens that submitted an essay

received $100. Let’s pray for our youth that NYC will

be a life changing ‘Kingdom’ experience.

82 b. We were also able to help resource the District with

assisting in purchasing a new District Sound System.

We were able to give $2000.

c. I was able to attend MISSION 15 in Kansas City

Missouri in February. This is an every 4 year

training event for Pastors and lay leaders. Thank you

SDMI council and District for sending me to be trained

at the SDMI workshops and plenary worship sessions.

5. The Fifth Kingdom movement is to EDUCATE. It is my passion

and desire to continue to resource and equip our teachers

with books, articles, web-seminars, etc…

i. I will strive to grow in this department for

2015.

3. Nazarene Missions International

Aloha and Praise the Lord!!!!

Life is about how we reach the lost people. God has called each

of us to serve where he has directed. Some of us are called to

serve where we are and others may be called to go forth. There

is no greater reward in life than to respond to God’s call.

84 Jeremiah 29:11….. For I know the plans that I have for you

declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you a future and hope. Thank you Jesus!!!!!

Last year our theme was Can You Hear Me Now, are we going to

ignore that call and how are we going to answer that call. Our

quadrennial theme is to make Christ-like disciples in the

nation, along with our theme for this year….. Looking Ahead and

making it workable and relevant for the local church on HI-Pac.

Are we looking ahead for better opportunities, reaching a goal?

Proverbs 4:25….. Let your eyes look straight ahead fix your gaze

directly before you. Philippians 3:13,14…… Brothers and sisters,

I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one

thing I do forgetting what is behind and straining toward the

goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in

Christ Jesus.

What about making it workable and relevant for the local church

on Hi-Pac??? Are we planning too much and not getting everyone

involved, or who can be involved because of work, family

situations, health and the list can go on…. Do we plan events

without defining the goals or results those activities should

produce, they fail to produce as much Kingdom fruit as they

could if the committed themselves to pursuing specific,

describable goals. Specific goals can feel threatening. As soon

85 as you develop them your stomach can tighten up with the

realization that you may not achieve them. That’s why many

church leaders play it safe by keeping the focus on activities

and saying it would be presumptuous to commit themselves to

specific results.

Those who achieve the most in this world have set their hearts

and mind on particular goals. They devote themselves body and

soul to achieving those objectives. Of course you cannot presume

that you will achieve all that you aspire to. James 4:13,15…….

Now listen, you who say today or tomorrow we will go to this or

that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.

Why you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your

life, you are in the mist that appears for a little while and

then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s

will, we will do this or that.”

But just because you cannot guarantee specific results does not

mean you should not purse those things with all your strength.

Ecclesiastes 9:10…… Whatever your hands finds to do, do it with

all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are

going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor

wisdom. As Jesus teaches in Matthew 25:14-21. Again it will be

like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and

entrusted his wealth to them. To one he gave five bags of gold,

86 to another two bags and to another one bag, each according to

his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had

received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to

work and gained five more bags. So also the one with two bags of

gold gained two more. But the man who received one went off, dug

a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. After a long

time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts

with them. The man who had received five bags of gold brought

the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five

bags of gold, see I have gained more.’ His master replied, ‘Well

done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful…I will

put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s

happiness!’

Do all you can to maximize the return on whatever gifts,

resources, and opportunities God has entrusted to you for the

building of his Kingdom, always realizing that the ultimate

outcome rests securely in his hands. Proverbs 16: 9 “A man’s

mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes

them sure”!!!!!! Hallelujah for that!!!!!!!

The Church of the Nazarene still ministers in 159 world areas

and counting. The Jesus Film Harvest Partner could not keep

reaching the lost through the Jesus Film or continue discipling

those who accept Christ without your continuous prayers.

87 Decisions for Christ, 13,256,916 and evangelistic contact’s is

69,840,967…… Isn’t that amazing!!!!!!!

Over 150,000 people have been mobilized through Work & Witness

since its beginning in 1974. Resulting in more than 5000 years

of donated labor worldwide, Work & Witness teams go to every

region of the world and partner with local churches in

construction projects, technical needs, evangelism and

compassionate ministries.

Now, more than 60 years later, Alabaster is still strong, having

provided more than 8,800 projects since 1949. Faithful Nazarenes

around the world have given nearly $100 million dollars for this

much-needed ministry.

WEF giving beyond (formerly “overpayment”) was US $1.1

million (up 2.2 percent from 2012). During the 20 years of this

NMI emphasis, the Church of the Nazarene has entered 60 world

areas.

NMI generated approximately US $237,593 through LINKS a vital

personalized connection between churches and missionaries around

the world.

As a Hawaii Pacific District this year which we will have video

clips from, the Kailua Church of the Nazarene went to Peru,

Briana Wong raised money for Kokua Compassion Center, Puka Naz

88 and Kahului Naz had a mission Maui, and we have a new District

Superintendent Pastor Rick Power and his lovely wife Vicki.

As a District we raised for Alabaster $4028.06, Work & Witness

$4,682.50, Compassionate Ministries, $25,084.55, and Child

Sponsorship, $10,040.10. Our up-coming events is to NYC with

about 40 youth, Appari missions in the future to finish up, Puka

Naz mission trip to Sun Valley Indian School, R.J and Puka Naz

Work & Witness people coming from different parts of the world

to help us locally, and maybe for a mission trip in 2016 to

partner with an area in Asia.

In closing I always like to thank first our Heavenly Father for

helping me in my weakness, my darling husband, Howard, for his

continued support, to each Pastor and my Pastor Mark and his

ohana for his care and love for Jesus.

To all our local presidents, church ohana, guest and friends for

coming, Nazarene Mission International in all they do to reach

the lost and fulfill the Great Commission. To the wonderful NMI

council which I could have not done it without you!!!!! I thank

you, appreciate you and we are a team!!! Let us all continue

Looking Ahead, reaching for that goal, loving on one another and

keeping missions alive globally and locally!!!

Galatians 6:9……Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the

proper time we will reap a harvest if we DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!

4. District NYI President

Aloha Pastors, Delegates, Dr. Busic, and Dr. Power! It has

been an amazing year in the life of the Hawaii Pacific Nazarene

Youth International! God has blessed us with some amazing and

talented youth on our district as well as amazing youth pastors

and youth leaders across our islands. What follows is a very

brief overview of our previous year.

Last February, our Hawaii Pacific District NYI Convention

elected four new officers to our District NYI. Previous leaders

had offered excellent leadership and vision and we are greatly

appreciative of them. Lynn Huma was elected Vice President,

Jamie Grubert was elected Secretary, Misty Pavao was elected

Treasurer and I, Jake Heaton, was elected as NYI President. We

are blessed and fortunate to serve in this capacity.

90 The first major event of our NYI Calendar was our HIPAC

Jr. & Sr. High Camps. May 29 through June 1 was Jr. High Camp

and June 1 - 5 was our Sr. High Camp. This year our camps were

held at Camp Homelani in Waialua on the North Shore of Oahu. We

had never before held our camp or any activities at Camp

Homelani. If you were to ask any of the students that

participated in this event what stood out to them as different

it would overwhelmingly be the food! Camp Homelani has the best

food that was prepared for our students in their air-conditioned

cafeteria. We were blessed! This facility also offered ocean

side dorms, open door chapel, and large field to accommodate our

games. It was an amazing week.

This theme of our camp was called out from Jeremiah 1:5.

Pastor Tim Cruz from Kahului Church of the Nazarene spoke at our

Jr. High Camp. Each evening and night our Jr. High Students were

engaged greatly. We had several recommitments to Christ as well

as eighteen first time commitments! God is good!

Eldon Keoki (PK), a pastor on the west side of Oahu, spoke

at our Sr. High Camp. PK is an island church planter partnering

with Living Waters Church. He grew up mostly in the Los Angeles

91 area. His inner city involvement as well as extensive Native

American involvement all contributed greatly to his impact on

our HIPAC teens. In his words, he has a little hood and a little

island in him. Each morning chapel was led by a panel of our

leaders, pastors, and worship band and each evening PK engaged

and challenged our youth to live for Christ. Over twenty

students gave their hearts to Christ for the first time.

We are grateful to all who had a hand in our camps! Will

Campbell directed, Will Shine coordinated music, Kalena Pana

oversaw registration, Lynn Huma directed our seminar speakers

and many more volunteered their time to participate! We are

blessed!

Next on our district calendar was our first annual Back to

School Bash! Honolulu 1st Samoan Church took leadership of this

event. The day began at Wet-n-Wild and ended with an eventful

service at the Ewa Beach Church! At Wet-n-Wild we had over

thirty-five participants!

92 In November, approximately twenty-five students and

leaders from Oahu flew to Maui for our annual HI-PAC Mission

Trip. Pastor Tim Cruz from Kahului Church and Pastor Mark

Gudmunson from Pukalani Community Church both provided

leadership and vision for this amazing event! Our evening

services were held at Kahului Church and each day our students

worked at various sites. Our very own Hawaii Pacific Students

partnered with our Maui pastors to help further the efforts of

our brand new church in Kihei, led by Pastor Tom Gudmunson. Our

students helped prepare Spam musubis and then pass them out to

the population along the beach and prayed for and over them.

This concluded with a service at Kihei Beach Park, which our

students and various community members attended as well. Some

of our other students went up-country to the Pukalani Church

campus to plant their very first orchard that, along with the

community garden, will further bless the community! We are

greatly blessed for the leadership of this event.

Finally, this past February we held our Sports Fest and NYI

Convention. We are blessed to announce our Council for this

coming year as follows:

93 Jake Heaton: President Youth Representatives:

Jamie Grubert: Secretary Andrew James

Lynn Huma: Vice President Lynn Ono

Shan Fereti: Treasurer Young Adult Reps:

Rebecca James

Silas Perkins

Please pray for this council as we continue to grow in

leadership to further impact our islands for Christ! Also, this

summer we are taking approximately forty students and leaders to

Nazarene Youth Conference in Louisville, KY. This is an amazing

time for our students to grow closer together but, ultimately,

to grow closer to Christ! We believe in NYC!

2. Auditing Committee

a. Hawaii Pacific District

For Audit Period February 1, 2014 – January 31, 2015

The Auditor issues a clean opinion on the Hawaii Pacific

District Books for the audit period covering February 1, 2014 –

January 31, 2015. Book balances were confirmed and reconciled

monthly to bank statements. Documentation was provided to

114

support cash receipts & check disbursements. Lastly, proper

internal controls were evident.

As a note, there were some areas on the financials that

went over budget. The Finance Committee and Advisory Board will

need to reevaluate them for next year’s Budget.


Dulce Valenzuela

District Auditor

b. SDMI

For the period ended January 31, 2015

I have reviewed the First Hawaiian Bank Account #37-

045659 statements for the period February 1, 2014

through January 31, 2015 and their related items of

income and expense. I have also reviewed the State

Farm Bank Account #1014712244 statement for the month

of February 2014. The State Farm bank account was

closed on February 25, 2014 and the proceeds were

deposited into the First Hawaiian Bank account on

March 10, 2014.

115

My review was limited in scope to verifying that the

expenses paid from the First Hawaiian Bank account

appeared proper and had documentation for such

expenditures. I have not determined if such

expenditures were made in accordance with fund

guidelines nor have confirmed whether such

expenditures were indeed incurred for fund programs

and express no opinion on these matters. I have not

confirmed the appropriateness of any deposits and have

not determined if all deposits have indeed been made.

The expenses all appear to have the appropriate

documented support.

Although I have not confirmed the appropriateness of

any fund deposits, I have noticed certain checks have

taken over a month to be deposited (based on the

dating of those checks). Deposits should be timely

made within a few days of receipt. I would also

suggest that a standardized form be used to document

requests for reimbursements which would include the

person to reimburse, amount requested, date expense

incurred or will be incurred, purpose of the

116

expenditure, and an authorized person acknowledging

and approving the reimbursement.

Respectfully submitted:

L. Kahele Lum Kee
