God's Continued Work in Maui | |
Although the stories of heartbreak from Maui are distressing, the ways in which the people of God have been helping are inspiring. Josh Rempfer, principal of Emmanuel, Maui, shared with Joel Wahlers, CNH District’s Education Executive, some incredible stories of families taking in other families who have lost everything.
In some cases, school families have allowed multiple families to live with them, feeding them, and supporting them in many ways. You can't get any more real and personal in supporting people than that! This is why some of the support Emmanuel has received has been given to these host families in the form of gift cards to purchase food and other supplies to help them continue this hospitality.
Jesus says in Matthew 25:34-36, “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’"
