GRC-Hawaii

On Saturday, November 21, 2009, Word of Life Christian Center members, friends and families humbly served 5,700 Thanksgiving lunches at 45 sites throughout Oahu! It was an amazing, touching day. Our desire was to share the love of God with our communities and let them know that we love them and Jesus loves them. It’s a simple message but a life-changing one. We had Men of War and the Blessing Crew ministering, former rival gang members working side by side, a blessing store where men, women and children shopped for whatever they needed and wanted at no cost to them, and of course a delicious Thanksgiving meal. We are so Thankful for everyone that gave of their time, talents and treasure. And for the community leaders that allowed us to join forces with them to bring the light of God through this outreach. Thank you!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church.

Joseph F. Smith was the sixth prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in that position for seventeen years.

Born on November 13, 1838, to Hyrum (Joseph Smith’s brother) and Mary Fielding Smith, he experienced upheaval and hardships early in life. His father was in jail when he was born, and the rest of his family was forced from their home in Far West, Missouri, when he was only a couple of months old.

The family fled to Illinois, and for a time life was peaceful as the family lived in Nauvoo. Then in June of 1844, when Joseph F. Smith was only five years old, his father and his uncle Joseph Smith were martyred. Although he was young he said:

“I saw his lifeless body together with that of my father after they were murdered in Carthage jail; and still have the most palpable remembrance of the gloom and sorrow of those dreadful days.”

In the fall of 1846 the family was again forced from their home, and Joseph F. Smith crossed the Missouri river to begin his journey with his mother across the plains to Utah. Joseph, though only seven when their journey began, was in charge of driving an ox team.

In September of 1848, the family finally arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. A few years later, at 13, Joseph F. Smith was baptized as a member of the Church. Only five months after his baptism, Joseph’s mother passed away. Though he was still relatively young, he cherished tender memories of his mother’s abiding faith and willingness to sacrifice. During the eight years between Hyrum’s martyrdom in 1844 and Mary’s own death in 1852, she shepherded her family across the plains to the valley of the Great Salt Lake, established a home and farm, and nurtured the faith of her children.

At fifteen years old Joseph F. Smith served his first mission for the Church. He was sent to Hawaii and stayed there preaching until he was nineteen.

Joseph F. Smith embraced the Hawaiian people and learned the language in just 100 days. In 1857, he returned to Utah and just three years later left again for another mission, this time to England. When he returned in 1863, he was again called on another mission to Hawaii.

In July 1866, at only 27 years old, Joseph F. Smith was ordained as an apostle and served as a counselor to President Brigham Young. He also served as the president of the European Mission. Joseph F. Smith served as second counselor to three presidents of the Church: John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, and Lorenzo Snow. Then in October,1901, at 62 years old, he was called as the sixth president of the Church.

While president and prophet, Joseph F. Smith began the Church’s work to maintain church history sites. Under his direction the Church purchased Carthage Jail, a part of the temple site in Independence, Missouri, Joseph Smith’s birthplace, the Sacred Grove, and Joseph Smith Sr. family farm. Joseph F. Smith also oversaw the building of more temples, and oversaw the construction of both the Cardston Alberta Temple in Canada and the Laie Hawaii Temple, though he died before either was finished. He was also concerned about promoting a good family environment and instituted the weekly home evening program. This zeal for the preservation and teaching of the family came from his own love for his family. He said often that “life everlasting should begin at home,” (Teachings Of Presidents Of The Church: Joseph F. Smith, p.241). Joseph F. Smith was also the first President of the Church to visit Europe while serving. He also received the revelation now found in Doctrine and Covenants section 138, concerning the Savior’s visit to the spirits of the dead while his body was in the tomb 138.

In November 1918 at 80 years old, Joseph F. Smith passed away. His son Joseph Fielding Smith, who also became a president of the Church, remembered his father this way, “His spirit was gentle and kind. A more sympathetic soul, one who suffered with the sufferer, who was more willing to help the helpless to carry his burden, and the downtrodden to regain his feet, could not be found in all the borders of Israel. He was a peace-maker, a lover of peace.”

Tournament in Memory of Eddie Aikau

The tournament in memory of Eddie Aikau captures the heart of one of the true legends of the surf and recounts the story of his life and death in a way that can not easily forget.

The most recent tournament was in December 2004, when waves in the bay reached 30 to 50 feet (15 m) high.

The Hokule’a left the Hawaiian islands on March 16, 1978. The double-hulled voyaging canoe developed a leak in one of the hulls and later capsized about twelve miles (19 km) south of the island of Molokai. In an attempt to get help, Eddie Aikau made a decision that costed his life, Eddie Aikau paddled toward Lanai on his surfboard. Although the rest of the crew was later rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard, Eddie Aikau was never seen again

Eddie Aikau , he gave his own life while trying to save the lives of their friends.

This is Awesome !!! Eddie Aikau and the sacrifice, he made. He understood what being a true friend, give your life for the good of others.

It is no surprise when they retell the story of Eddie Aikau and our hearts are touched with respect. There is a story in the pages of the Bible, about Jesus, who gave his life for everyone, even by those who do not know.

In Romans 5: 6-8 is written:

*6-You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

*7-Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.

*8-But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

“Eddie Would Go” , is written on the stickers and shirts.

But in the bible you will read that “JESUS WENT.”

he went all the way up to the Cross for you.
