2 Thessalonians 3.16 - A Hui Hou!

It won’t be easy to leave BICF ZGC. But one day we all will! In 1982 Dayna and I left for Uganda. “Good-bye” to the church in Hawaii where I was then Assistant Pastor, serving with the pastor who had baptized me and just married us. Dayna was born into that church – both sets of grandparents were members. So many memories and not one digital photo! Going to the opposite side of planet earth – with no computer, no cell phone, no internet, no telephone, even snail mail took six months! But we were eager to go. Then amidst the hugs and tears of our aunties during our farewell service my sad tears flowed. One kind Hawaii lady said, “Don’t say good-bye, say ‘a hui hou! (Hawaiian for see you again!). That felt much better – and still does – the cords of love in God’s family cannot be broken!
