Stacy,
Your family website is so neat! I hope you're feeling better soon.
I can't believe I've misplaced your phone number. I was wondering if the Hope & Jenna could babysit for us, Tuesday or Wednesday from 3:30 p.m.to about 7:30-8 p.m. this week.

My phone # is (253) 921-2784. We live on MCBH/K-Bay... we would love it if they could come here.

Call me soon,

Janel Watt from Pearl Harbor MOPS

Hi Herdens in the U.S.....We can't wait to see you, too! You'll have to do some reseach about what you want to do, because there is so much to do here and then we can plan your time together. Enjoy the cold...you'll be very warm here!

Hello! We were just checking your blog and as always it made us miss you. We are so excited to see YOU! Anything else is just a bonus. How exciting to see pictures of the new house filled with people. We will be praying for you and the ministry there. All our love!

Aloha Tim and Raquel!
Sooo good to hear from you. We trust that you are all doing well and that your ministry is going strong. We'd love to stay in touch more regularly so please send me your email address. As for your friends, we would love to meet them. You may direct them to our new ministry website here: www.homeportoahu.com It has the address, phone, map, ministry schedule, etc.

The Lord bless you in 2009.

Hello Paul,

Great to see God place a CSC in Pearl Harbor. What an incredible blessing and answer to prayer!
Raquel and I know a couple being stationed at Schofield this summer. They were hoping for some help in finding their way around and in getting off base housing. I couldn't find any address on your site to give them. Got some contact info? I married them and they are a good Christian couple that needs to get plugged in to a church as well.

Stand firm,

Hi Paul and Stacy,

I just wanted to give you the news that we are 100% going to TCS to Israel this summer. It will be a crazy time though, I will not be returning from Afghanistan until sometime in May. You should do another trip to Israel and come visit once Gaza calms back down.

May God bless you ministry in Hawaii as he did in Germany and Japan! :)

Great to see such a good start to your new ministry at Pearl. We rejoice with you.

Phil and Lori,

Thank you for checking in with us. Your encouragement is always appreciated and we hope that you will stop in to see us when you visit. We are very thankful for our FCC family!

Paul and Beryl,

Thank you for your encouragement and prayers. We had a wonderful evening and thank the Lord for blessing the occasion. See you in March!

Paul & Stacy - Great to see pictures of the new House on the website! And also great to see Ben and Connie again - send them my best. I spent a LOT of time at their hospitality house in Korea about a dozen years ago. And it looks like Lori and I might get an opportunity to travel out there this summer! We'll keep you in our prayers - and all the fine military folks that you guys minister to... trust me - it makes a difference! In Christ, Phil

Rejoicing with you in God's goodness to you as so many joined you for the Dedication of Home Port last Friday night. You were and are in our prayers for the ongoing needs you wrote about.

With our love and hope we have in Christ,

Paul and Beryl

HI guys! I just happened to stop in & am happy to see the news & pix of the dedication yesterday. Amy is in Thailand! Are you on facebook? Have I already asked you that? :-) We will be moving to San Diego next December, it looks like, so I am thinking that is close to Hawaii, so Carrie might get her trip to visit after all (and the rest of us with her!). It would sure be great to see you. Anyway, Happy New Year!

Z Man,
My wife gave me an ESV Study Bible for our anniversary and I really enjoy the way it reads. Still, I will continue to preach from the NASB and continue with my 2009 read-through in the NASB as well. Both are solid versions.

Paul, are you switching over to the ESV from the NASB? I see that is your reading material now. Im really enjoying the NASB. Great recommendation on your part!

Happy New Year everyone! May the Lord use His people in 2009 like never before to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

Lisa, how are you and your family doing? Have you moved to your new home yet? We can't wait to see your new home during our next visit. Have a wonderful Christmas.

btw - Yes, the weather is very nice here!!
