Blessing Waikiki School

Although we are unable to meet at Waikiki School right now, we still want to reach out to the school and show them how much God loves them.  As we have been conversing with the principal and staff, they have reaffirmed the need for mentors to come and help those students who need the most help.  

We will be starting Malama Mentors, a mentoring program that works one on one with a student in need.  A mentor would come in once a week or once every other week, during lunch or after school for about a half hour and help that student feel supported.  You can play checkers, chess, connect four as you meet together.  You will be a great support and blessing to someone who needs it and having been a mentor before, I am excited to do it again.  Would you please pray about being a mentor?  This opportunity is available for anyone high school aged and above.

Did you know that all the students eat outdoors?  The school has purchased benches, which we were able to help put together a few months ago.  Now the school is asking if we can help paint the benches!  We are looking for a team of people to come and help paint the benches!

Interested in being a mentor or painting benches?  Contact Pastor Max at info@saltandlighthawaii.org

New In-Person Service Time AND LOCATION!
