For the Greater Good of China!

China: 2011
Calvary Chapel South Maui is sending a group out to China this coming June!  The team's aim is to support the awesome work God has started through Pete and Jennifer Peissner.  Six CCBC Maui students are are excited to take part in this mission trip to further God's Word.  To raise money the church held a Valentine's Day Dinner that was a time of food, fun, and fellowship.  They had a great turnout and everyone is excited to see how God continues to provide!

Please pray for the 2011 Mission Team, as they prepare spiritually and physically to serve God wholeheartedly.  Pray that God would prepare the hearts of the people, that they would be open to hear and receive salvation through Jesus Christ.

Leader’s Retreat

On the weekend of February 4th-5th our interns and dorm-stewards (aka CCBC Fearless Leaders) ventured up Mount Haleakala for a leader's retreat.  This camping trip was a time of prayer as the leaders interceded for the students, school, and community.  It was also a time of eating, bonding with each other and trying to stay warm in not-so-maui-like-temperatures.

“I thought it was very much needed for the leaders.  A lot of questions were answered and it was useful for the leaders to become like-minded.  I feel like it was important for the leaders.  It was cold.” 

Caleb Knox

“It was super delish!”

Eli Hoffman

So basically, they ate, they prayed and were merry!

Spring 2011!!!

We kicked the Spring 2011 semester off on January 28th with orientation and a "get to know you" volleyball game.  Students arrived at 10:00 am bright eyed, bushy tailed and ready to see what God had in store for them this semester.  They were greeted by our great Dean, Adam Hulstrom, who delegated out M199's (practical and ministry services).  This was followed by a pizza lunch where students got to chat and chow down!  After pizza, it was a time of learning the rules, being introduced to teachers, prayer and worship.  Overall, it got the students excited for this upcoming semester!

Later on that night, the students and interns travelled down to Kalama Park for a night game of volleyball and s'mores.  This was a great way to start the semester and get to know everyone!  Here are some pictures...enjoy!

Glory to Greater Glory!

This is the journey of 28 students on a pursuit to know what God's plans are for their lives.  Over the next 4 months we will be stretched, tumbled, molded, and refined into people who seek after His Kingdom in everything we do.  We are on a mission to learn how to be salt and light in this dark world that had no hope without Him.  To the world this just looks like a vacation, but in reality God has each of us here for a specific purpose.  We've come from all over the United States, from New York to right here on Maui.  All with one common goal: to grow closer to God.

"One of key characteristics of our God is that He brings us from 'glory to greater glory'...He wants to open new doors, reveal new truths, inspire you with new visions, and fill you to overflowing with His Spirit."~Pastor Charles Casco

Hana retreat Spring 2010

If there is one thing that can be said for our Hana retreats each semester it is that they offer a special kind of refreshment in God's perfect timing. With the wide open beauty and vastness of Hana you can't escape the presence and the glory of our God. Now join the beauty of Hana with the special revelation and truth that God offers through hours spent alone at His feet and time together in the word and ViOLA, you've got an awesome retreat in the beautiful countryside of Maui. We would like to say mahalo nui loa to our guest speaker this semester, Andrew Rothrock, who joined us from Portland Oregon.
Here are a few pics, enjoy......

Da' Rush

Da' rush once again proved to be an exhilarating and refreshing time for the students this last Saturday. With unlimited turns to ride the wave simulator students enjoyed hours of a new kind of fun, and when they worked up enough of an appetite, they feasted on tasty grilled hamburgers.

There was much to be said from the students when asked what they thought about da' rush, here are just a few of the comments:

" I loved it, different from anything I've ever done before, it never got boring" Kelly Moran

" It was a cool way for everyone to hang out, doing something we all enjoyed and took interest in." Tyler Clark

" It was cool trying something new. It was really fun to watch people fall....and then succeed." Kayla Neal

All in all it was a good time to hang out and have some fun, outside of the Bible College/Church walls, with each other.

FREE!!!

Yeah I said free! That's how much it cost Southpointe residents (in case you are wondering what Southpointe is, it is the condominium complex where the bible college students live, taking up seven out of 346 condos) Saturday morning to get their car washed while enjoying a delicious, freshly barbecued hamburger. Compliments of CCBC Maui.
In order to serve others with the heart of Jesus, to "wash their feet" in a sense, we need to be a bit creative, as times have changed and therefore the washing of peoples feet doesn't have quite the same semblance as it once did. The carwash/ BBQ was a great way to do that. Not only did it allow those at Southepoint to see the heart of the bible college, but it also gave the students a great opportunity to get to know their neighbors in a different light than most are used to. As I stand back and watch I can begin to see the Lord is building upon His foundation there at Southpointe, and it stirs in me excitement to know these are the times....and we are the chosen!!!

Women's D at the Done's

MAHALO NUI LOA (thank you very much) to Elysse Done for once again opening up her home to the bible college women. We had a wonderful time of food, fun and fellowship on Wednesday For our women's devotional class as we joined Elysse (the wife of our Senior Pastor, Dominic Done) at her home for a deli themed, potluck style lunch. Elysse was able to share with the students from her heart on true worship, something that the Lord taught her, through different unique revelations she has had along her journey with the Lord. We were blessed, as always, to get to spend time with this wonderful woman, who dearly loves the Lord. WE LOVE YOU ELYSSE!

Spring 2010 Welcomes Three New Teachers

With each semester here at CCBC comes a great lineup of Instructors. We have our core instructors who are guaranteed to be teaching at least one class every semester, whom we

are always certain will do exceptional with whatever they teach, by the power of the spirit of course. However with every semester one or two new instructors come our way and they are always such a blessing to our students and a great addition to CCBC Maui.

With that being said we would like to introduce to you our new instructors for Spring 2010:

"Old things have passed away; behold, new things have come" 2 cor 5:17

We have had a great start to our Spring 2010 semester. Last week we welcomed 31 students to the Island, 15 of which were returning to the Maui campus and 16 new and transfer students. The semester started off on Friday with student orientation, where the students probably experienced information overload. Nevertheless it was a great time for the students to get acquainted with one another. Now we are well into the first week of classes and the students have given nothing but great reports with enthusiasm, ready to plunge in!!
