Called to Hawaii Our journey from Ohio to Oahu

Our FamilyGreg, Emily, Nora & Burke

University of Hawaii

In 2006, The Navigators leadership made a commitment to start 10 new ministries on ethnically diverse campuses in the United States. University of Hawaii was on the top of that list.

Leaving Ohio will be difficult

Our kids were born in Ohio

We must leave most our 'stuff' behind

Our extended family live within a 5 hr. drive

We have deep friendships here

From Ohio to Oahu

It wasn't our idea to move to Hawaii but when we learned about the great need and the strategic nature of reaching such a diverse group of students our hearts were moved to pray about whether God is indeed calling us to go. We prayed and God said "Yes!"

Our Vision for Hawaii

We believe that reaching and discipling students at the University of Hawaii is a strategic way to make disciples of all nations! Our desire is to raise up lifetime laborers at UH who will advance the gospel all over the world to help fulfill Christ's Great Commission.

Hawaii: Paradise Lost

Only 40 percent claim to be Christians

Vast majority of people are secular

More culturally, ethnically and racially diverse than any other state in America

Our Vision for Hawaii

Restart a thriving, reproducing ministry at the University of Hawaii in Manoa

Using UH as a hub, start other collegiate ministries across Hawaii

Recruit and train locals to lead ministries

Isaiah 55:4-5

See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples. Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations that do not know you will hasten to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for He has endowed you with splendor.

Living By Faith

Navigator ministry is supported by the gifts of interested family, friends, and churches.

All staff are responsible to raise 100% of the funds needed for ministry.

Navigator staff reach full funding by trusting God for financial partners who give regular monthly or annual gifts.

Living on Oahu

general cost of living is 70% higher than Ohio

1,200 square foot house costs $750,000

moving is extremely expensive because of incredible distance

Current Financial Needs

Currently, we need $11,450 (was $30,000) for moving and start-up expenses and $1,175 (was $3,000) in new monthly support.

And $7,500 to purchase a reliable used car

Partnering With Us

In order for us to accomplish all that God has for us in Hawaii we need to be fully funded. To be fully funded we need MINISTRY PARTNERS who can give $75-$300 a month and a

few CHAMPIONS who can give $5,000-$15,000 annually.

Would you ask God if He is calling you to partner with us in reaching the nations through the University of Hawaii?
