From: Truth and Fire Ministries <br /> To: W PCtesti mono <br /> Subject: Hope Dia-Mend Church Testimony <br /> Date: Monday,July 1,2024 7:29:55 AM <br /> Aloha, <br /> We are writing on behalf of Pastor Pam Ako and Hope-Diamend Ministries. <br /> We have known Pam and her church for 10 years. She has more than proven herself to be a <br /> stand-up citizen. She and her late husband Lance Ako, have been an integral part of bettering <br /> Kau District. They are know and loved by many in the community for their humanitarian work <br /> driven by their faith. <br /> In a time where the world seems to be full of dark, self-centered, self-serving people, Pam <br /> Ako is the opposite. Her faith and the church have made it a priority to 'love the unlovable, <br /> reach the unreachable, do the impossible' as is the churches motto. And they do just that. <br /> They reach those who the community has deemed'throw-aways'. The ones nobody likes to <br /> deal with. <br /> Furthermore, they also feed at least one hundred families or more a week with their food <br /> program. They are constantly giving back to the community and providing help both <br /> physically and spiritually in the form of, food, clothing,prayer, financial help, funerals, <br /> weddings, Easter programs, Christmas programs including gifts for the keki and much much <br /> more! <br /> To not allow her and her church to freely function which is her right(and illegal to not let her <br /> do so)would be a massive disservice to Kau and grievous to the community in which she <br /> greatly contributes. I don't know of anyone else in Oceanview, Na'alehu and the surrounding <br /> area, who contributes as much as Hope-Diamend and Pam Ako. It would be utter foolishness <br /> and to try to shut down an entity that is actually helping people in your community. <br /> Nearsighted is the person who can't see the overall outcome. Which is, if Hope-Diamend is <br /> able to reach the 'trouble makers' in the community and help change their lives. That means <br /> less trouble and tax dollars spent towards criminals in your community. They are a GREAT <br /> asset to Kau and beyond. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Sage and Danah Theurer <br />
