Eyewitness Report of Lahaina Wildfire

 Stardate 11.17.2025




The shortest verse in the Bible has two words —Jesus wept.  The whole world wept along with Jesus when a wildfire consumed the town of Lahaina on the island of Maui.  More than 2,000 buildings were destroyed.  Two years later,  there is emptiness all around.  We returned to Lahaina yesterday to worship.  My heart nearly stopped when I saw the devastation.  The main street is still closed.  The only bright spot is a church that stands in a sea of nothingness.  

When the service concluded I met with the local pastor and asked what readers could do to help paradise be restored.  If you feel moved to help, there is a link at the end of today's story.
