Young Life Kea'au club is sick at helping us become like Jesus, too. — Kaitlin, Core Volunteer Growing in Jesus is something that the Holy Spirit is in charge of. But we have to allow ourselves to be in the right position to hear, to listen and then obey. Easier said than done. Puna Covenant Church helps people to be in the right position to Grow in Jesus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1514504846349-JR87T0UIHBW18EVETHSM/IMG_0403.JPG Our Ministries - Go To Go is not the mission, just part of it. Gather, Grow and Go is the co-mission that Jesus has given to the church. The active part of the mission is being like Jesus to people. Puna, Hawaii, and the world is where we are to be like Jesus. Our first mission is to Puna, then to Hawaii and then to reach our world to fulfill the command of Jesus to His church in Matthew 28:19-20 and Acts 1.8. "make followers of all the nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to do all the things I have told you. And I am with you always, even to the end of the world...you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." https://www.punacov.org/sermon-podcasts daily 0.75 2022-02-07 https://www.punacov.org/about-us daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1568944874712-P8AN65DX2MHIBTW7BUX5/image-asset.jpeg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1568946259455-ZITD13GB001MWVO84F1A/IMG-3471.JPG About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1619653998826-6XDFKPXJCN17OMXH7C9H/image-asset.jpeg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1623710298090-7MEPVCBS2GMEJIPDXA4W/unsplash-image-6twzYVHRurY.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1614400264032-HLOXC9DD9X55UTMMZ1PR/image.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1503458226954-VJ42FJHP3X2T75UZ8UUK/2432333_web1_xmaschild2.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1523472469404-BCQULS43A3T48UKLX6GN/Takeshi+Ban+1912-1913.jpg About Us - Takeshi Ban 1912-1913 Takeshi Ban 1912-1913 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1523472494399-SXYI8NJVTGLBBAAN62V5/Chikatada+Sagawa+1914-1915%2C+1919-1934.jpg About Us - Chikatada Sagawa 1914-1915, 1919-1934 Chikatada Sagawa 1914-1915, 1919-1934 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1523472501263-O4J858XJU65684ZWZ7CO/Shiro+Sokabe+1916-1940.jpg About Us - Shiro Sokabe 1916-1940 Shiro Sokabe 1916-1940 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1523472505968-GJCRF9F0DGT13ZCP1SP9/Kojiro+Kokita+1915-1916.jpg About Us - Kojiro Kokita 1915-1916 Kojiro Kokita 1915-1916 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1523472481089-W4F4EXTHNTIXQB9OBFDK/Otaharu+Takahashi+1918-1919.jpg About Us - Otaharu Takahashi 1918-1919 Otaharu Takahashi 1918-1919 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1523472477805-UMABRYLRVRTB0XHC40I7/Tamasaku+Watanabe+1935-1941.jpg About Us - Tamasaku Watanabe 1935-1941 Tamasaku Watanabe 1935-1941 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1523472596330-TMILJH91JXGL6PEFJFN2/Robert+Shimoda+1944-1949+%282%29.jpg About Us - Robert Shimoda 1944-1949 Robert Shimoda 1944-1949 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1523472440667-4FEMAGDX3TU4V1XF52G1/Masayoshi+Wakai.jpg About Us - Masayoshi Wakai Masayoshi Wakai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1523472475097-5B6XSH45LJJFVLB0D6UQ/Miles+Shishido+1949-1952.jpg About Us - Miles Shishido 1949-1952 Miles Shishido 1949-1952 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1523472466695-MLG6RJDMCJY2UQYXPIW7/Masataro+Shigematsu+1948-1953.jpg About Us - Masataro Shigematsu 1948-1953 Masataro Shigematsu 1948-1953 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1523472472080-RG9T9UJD082VPFM3ZDGF/Francis+K.+Endo+1953-1962.jpg About Us - Francis K.

Many of us do not fully understand what is going on inside of us, even during the best of times. We have been upset in one moment and then have an”over-the-top excitement” moment. This is part of being a young person. Some of us don't even blink an eye at outrageous or 'degrading' things that happen in our world. How we act is part of our deepest core-being. This is true with most people. If we believe in something, then we often talk about it. It becomes part of our life. Core Youth is the youth ministry of Puna Covenant Church. We have seen young people overcome many difficult things in their life, but the core of our our ministry - Our Faith in Jesus Christ - has provided great victories over different trials our youth have gone through. Our desire is that through practical living we allow Jesus to be the center and core of our life. We also partner with Young Life (YL) - Kea'au Club in providing a place for the youth of Puna where young people can meet in a safe, secure and fun environment. YL Kea’au meet every week during the school year. Our passion is to offer youth a place where Jesus will become the core of your life. We believe that only Jesus can give us real life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1531531330555-FQYNJ5I1SQWPEVVI2FK1/espresso+%E2%80%A2+coffee+%E2%80%A2+desserts+%E2%80%A2+pastries+%284%29.jpg Core Youth We equip and inspire our youth to experience serving and experiencing ministry opportunities. We created the the “Core Cafe". Maybe it is just a catchy title to describe what we are crafting to be really good espresso, coffee, and tea for our church family ministries. We desire to make you the best espresso available and provide an environment of great fellowship at our cafe in the pavilion. As you support and invest in this ministry, all profits will support our youth, youth ministries for local and international missions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1560408498527-S670XYG0BGRDVL2V3MYI/IMG-9709.JPG Core Youth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1535066087731-1SMFA22BP5IV4N64EIRN/IMG-5619.JPG Core Youth One of our Core Youth fun nights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/598294a7d2b857863eedfe9e/1509068799042-963361PLK8Y2Q7E3WVX5/IMG-1912.JPG Core Youth - No betta place than da Core.
