Dear Friend,
It has been heartbreaking to read about what is going on in Hawaii as the worst wildfire in the U.S. in a century claimed more than 100 lives and displaced countless families and individuals. We’ve deployed Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains to minister to those affected.
One of our chaplain teams recently met Eliot* and Lynn.* Their neighbors lost their house in the fire—but the couple’s home was untouched. Witnessing the fragility of life firsthand had left them questioning.
The chaplains listened to them compassionately, and when Eliot and Lynn were ready, they gently brought up faith. Both husband and wife were quiet as our chaplains explained the Gospel to them. By the end of the conversation, Eliot and Lynn each decided to embrace “true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself” (Colossians 2:2, NASB) and prayed to receive Him as their personal Savior.
Please join me in prayer for Eliot and Lynn, Christians across the island, and all of the people of Hawaii. Ask God to draw them to Himself so that they “may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16, ESV).
Thank you for your prayerful support. May God richly bless you.
