Bridnie is a young lady who attends New Life Pentecostal church here in Hawaii. She is also a student at the University of Hawaii. Last year she got a Bible study going with several of the students. Les and I were invited to one of the final studies of the semester last May and really enjoyed it.
Fast forward to about a month ago when the students returned from summer break. The first Sunday that Bridnie was back in town she was back at church with two of the girls (Anna and Lexi) who were in last year's study. With our crazy travel schedule we missed the first Bible study, but we were able to go last night. It was awesome! Along with Bridnie, Lexi and Anna, were C.J. and Adam. Brycen (who came last year) made a brief appearance but didn't stay. Part way through the study, Dakota wandered in and asked C.J. what was going on. He stayed for the rest. Also in attendance was a large part of our Hyphen (college and career age) ministry from NLP.
We had one other guest that many of my readers will know from Pacific Coast Camp - Bernard Puller! He has been in Hawaii for work and met Bridnie at our concert with Mark Yandris last week. It was great to see him come right in and connect with these students.
God blessed us in another way, too. Les and I had ordered pizzas to take with us. It was suppose to take about 20 minutes but it took quite a bit longer. While we were waiting the manager came out to us and handed me a receipt. She said, "I'm sorry this took so long. I'm giving you your money back." You can't out give God!
Les and I are enjoying getting to know these students. They are so sweet and smart. We are excited to see what God has in store for their lives! At the end of last night's study Les asked them to submit questions for future Bible studies. Please help us pray that seeds will be planted that will bring forth much fruit!
