Learn about how God has called us to move from Ohio to Oahu to reach and disciples college students.

1. Called to Hawaii
Our journey from Ohio to Oahu

2. Our Family
Greg, Emily, Nora & Burke

3. 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.

4. 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

5. 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!"

6. 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.

8. 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

11. 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

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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

15. 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

16. 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.

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