August 2025 Newsletter

Greetings from the Big Island Women's Campus!

We had a few church services we attended this month. We attended House of Glory Church with Pastor Kimi and New Hope Church with Pastor Sheldon and Heidi Lacsina.

 

We appreciate them and count it an honor to have attended their services and share about the ministry of Adult & Teen Challenge PacWest.

 

Fundraising

We have been busy this month with a variety of fundraisers! We kicked this off with two burrito sales. We also collaborated with our Maui Director, Billy Dossett, and had a brisket plate sale and finally a rummage sale. We are so grateful we are getting to do this.

 

Student Testimony: Cheona

Sure Foundation Church had their family fun day and one of our students decided to be all in with Jesus and was baptized. What a blessing to see Chenoa's transformation and be a part of her journey, it is amazing.

Chenoa came to us on the 4th of July after overdosing on Fentanyl and by the Grace of God the paramedics were able to resuscitate her back to life after a few minutes. In her desperation, Chenoa, in the early hours of the morning, contacted a pastor asking him for help to get her into Adult & Teen Challenge program.

The pastor explained to her that it was too early to call, however, he would help her in the morning. Chenoa shared she had never overdosed, and the Fentanyl was the worst drug ever, this scared her and all she knew is that Jesus was the only one who could help her change her life.

 

BE HOPE Fashion Show!

We are just three weeks away from our BE HOPE fashion show and we are so excited for this day to come! We have some beautiful fashion trends and a great silent auction; plus, a delicious lunch planned for all who will attend.
