SBFM - Paia, Maui

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Know I'm missing you all and keeping you in my prayers.

Maui is great and I trust that Paia is exactly where I am supposed to be this fall. The work load has already been keeping me busy. However, I have rather enjoyed putting some disciplines in place as I dive in to the curriculum with my thirteen peers from Scotland, Switzerland, Canada, the U.S., and Sweden. Yesterday I had this revelation: I'm not theee most intellectual person in the world, but my Dad knows ALL things and He's a PERFECT Father... which means He won't give me the answers, but He'll lead me into truth and grant me understanding as I follow His voice of direction.

All this to say thank you for your prayers, and let you know, Hallelujah, that I received the remaining fees needed for my lecture phase!! Please contact me or visit http://uofnkona.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=652&MN=5665 to donate towards my outreach fees.

Thank you all for being a part of my life!
Kels

Yet if you devote your heart to him
and stretch out your hands to him,
if you put away the sin that is in your hand
and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
then you will lift up your face without shame;
you will stand firm and without fear..
Job 11:13-15


As for "Home - Fall 2011"
Maui Travel Book at a coffee shop puts it better than me ::
"East Maui, the Road to Hana
When old sugar towns die, they usually fade away in rust and red dirt. Not Paia. The tangle of electrical, phone, and cable wires hanging overhead symbolizes they town's ability to adapt to the times- it may look messy, but it works. Here, trendy restaurants, eclectic boutiques, and high-tech windsurf shops stand next door to the ma-and-pa grocery, fish market, and storefronts that have been serving customers since the plantation days. Hippies took over in the 1970's; although their macrobiotic restaurants and old-style artists' co-op have made way for Hawaii Regional Cuisine and galleries featuring the works of renowned international artists, Paia still manages to maintain a pleasant vibe of hippiedom. The town's main attraction though, is Hookipa Beach Park, where the wind that roars through the isthmus of Maui brings windsurfers from all around the world, who come to fly over the waves on gossamer wings linked to surfboards."
