I became a member of the church after relocating to Oceanview in <br /> June 2020 during the COVID outbreak. I have been involved in other ministries in <br /> Kona for almost 25 years. When I was lead to the church after praying one day I <br /> immediately new they had a heart for the Oceanview, Kau/ Naalehu community and <br /> Big Island as a whole. <br /> I became involved in many of the food distribution efforts for our community, <br /> Halloween, Easter and Christmas outreaches for the children. We were able to still be <br /> a blessing during these trying times during COVID while keeping protocols that were <br /> in place. Almost everyone I spoke to at these events were totally grateful as it put <br /> huge stresses on their lives and we could pray with them and make sure there almost <br /> daily food needs were met. <br /> We truly desire to serve this newly growing community and still do feeding <br /> events for struggling families and elderly 3 to 4 times per week and also are involved <br /> with other ministries reaching out to the entire Big Island. We also understand if there <br /> are concerns in the neighborhood surrounding our church property we want to <br /> address them as well. <br /> Thank You for Your <br /> Consideration with this Matter. <br /> Clay Cullen <br /> P.O. Box 7075 <br /> Oceanview,96737 <br />
