Messiah members off to Kona, Hawaii as Mission Builders!

In the next few months a number of Messiah members will be heading to Kona, Hawaii to serve as Mission Builders with Youth With a Mission (YWAM) at the University of the Nations! Much prayer has gone into the considerations and planning for this adventure for each of us!

We are -
Ordean and Lavona Broen - Nov. 20 - Jan. 4
Ben and Herta Heise - Dec. 4 - Feb.
Joyce and Adrian Bergquist - Dec. 31 - Feb. 12
Vivianne Grue - Dec. 31 - Feb. 12
Marlys Sorenson - Dec. 31 - Feb 12
Melody and David Brager - Jan. 15 - March

At this point all arrangements have been made and we are starting to pack! We will not know exactly what our job assignments will be until we get there, but they could include maintenance, construction, yard work, kitchen duties, "hotel" type laundry and room cleaning, working in a free thrift store etc. These jobs are done on the university campus, or at Hale Ole (House of Light) which is the dorm complex where we will be living.
We look forward to meeting students and other workers from all over the world!
Please pray for us as we serve, that we will manage the time change, the early working hours, full working days, the heat! Of course, after work we can sleep, shop or hit the beach! It gets dark at 6:00 pm., but at least it will still be warm.
We will try to keep you posted, and hopefully send pictures too.

Blessings, from Marlys
