In my previous blog I talked about....

LOCAL OUTREACH

We spent all of last week going around the island of Hawai'i getting to know the people who live here and sharing the gospel as the Lord led us. 

It was an incredible adventure where I learned so much about using photography as a way to evangelize. I am so excited to see how God can continue to use this passion of mine to expand His kingdom in Panama and on my around the world adventure. 

The theme of our photos that we will exhibit next weekend downtown Kona is CONTRAST. (read more about this in my previous blog)

We went out with the intention of pouring out God's love on these people by showing interest in their stories and giving them a sense of validation through taking their photos. And I really felt like this purpose was fulfilled in many ways! It was so exciting to shine the light of Jesus in me onto the vast spectrum of the Hawaiian people.

Skate night- A ministry on the University of the Nations campus every tuesday night. VERY cool! Teens from all over Kona come!
This is Vada Rose. A sweet lady who has been selling Kona coffee at this little stand downtown Kona for many years! She is 80 years old! Unfortunately, she is not a believer.

This is Ronald and Georgianna Wilcox. They own this video rental store called Two Sisters in a little town just north of Waipio Valley called Honoka'a. She is Hawaiian, he is from Iowa :) Non-Christians.
This is Daniel and Mana. They have both lived in Honoka'a their entire lives and have known eachother for just as long! Daniel loved to share about how they used to play baseball together.

They are not believers.  
I spent an hour at this beach praying for and shooting photos of the locals who were surfing and body boarding. 
This is Johnny. He is a veteran who meets with a friend every tuesday and thursday in Kona to tell stories and just hang out. He moved to Hawaii after his brother died leaving behind a 7 month old baby. He is a non Christian, but I am very excited because he was intrigued by what photogenX does. He will be attending our photo exhibition! 

I shared with you the status of their beliefs simply because I am praying for them, and if you feel led to after seeing these photos, you can as well! I am keeping in e-mail contact with most of them and hoping to continue to show them God's love and joy. 

More to come soon about OUTREACH :)
