Fundraising idea

beeds all over the place...Mei-lee brought with her many good fundraising ideas. The Boys got right into it but also got really tired of it very quickly.

its a tedious and time consuming but the end result will be a new addition in the chapter of TCJ Ministry...God help us.

Sister

Sister Mei-Lee is a dear friend and my Spiritual Big Sister.
She is the one that went out her way to find a center in a distant land for me to get help. I use to be all out of my mind on drugs and although I attended church on a weekly basis. No deliverance was happening. But God is always working. He used Mei-lee and her kind forgiving heart to find out about Teen Challenge Hawaii. in a matter of month I was on my way not willingly mind you but where else was I to go...
Thank God for faithful servant being use of God.
10 years has passed since that day . Who can believe I will be in Charge of a center in Okinawa ...God has a sense of humor.
Thank you Mei-lee. Thank you for not giving up on me...

He convinced the staff members and decided to cut away the Eso part of the Fin and pray for survival.Fuji came through,but was struggling for she lost the momentum to swim. Intervention was then launched as the Fuji project began it was a collaboration with Bridgestone tires...After many prototype they came up with a well designed and flexible artificial fin for Fuji to enjoy her swimming again.
