I recently learned my Hualalai Village condo is for sale. I moved into this condo in 2007 and up until now, 50 YWAM women have lived here.
After 22 years with YWAM Kona I feel my home is symbolic to a mountain of Douglas fir trees where deer, birds, and squirrels live. Roots mix together underneath to give trees the strength to stay upright in a storm. Various types of trees and plants have its own structure and purpose. Multiple species of plants gather air and light from above and vital nutrients from the soil.
Life thrives in this Hualalai Village “forest.” Can you help me purchase this condo?
The rent from the condo goes into a scholarship fund for the qualifying students of other nations to attend second-level schools, like community development schools and stewardship and sustainability schools. Howard Malmstadt gave up a professorship career to found this University. He is the one who coined “A University of the Spirit”

On Nov 25, Josh Jensen and University of the Nations, Kona President David Hamilton prayed with me regarding buying a Hualalai Village condo. Seven remaining condos rented to campus staff are being sold. One of these units has been my residence for 14 years, and 50 different women lived here at some point.
Josh prayed about the story of the widow with two sons about to become slaves because of creditors. 2 Kings 4:1–7. Elisha asked, “What do you have in your house? The widow answered, “One jar of oil.” I’ve made a similar offer, which God can multiply. Now my question is, may I have your “vessels” so God can provide the oil, the means by which I and four other women can continue living in our home? A vessel can be $20 to $100, or you could make a far more substantial gift. With God, this impossible gift of a condo and home becomes possible.

It’s a new day in the way God meets us, knows us, and redeems us. He does this in a way that disarms us. His story comes about as he revamps how we receive his goodness. It goes beyond intellectual concepts and into experiences similar to a mother’s interactions. Real time, real touch, real wisdom. How does he know how many hairs are on our heads? Why? His intimacy is freely offered.
This safe place in God exists now, yet I confess it’s challenging for me to feel safe when facing a Jericho moment regarding purchasing this Hualalai Village condo. Following God’s pattern means anticipating deliverance like when the tribe walked around the walls of Jericho. While I trust God, the act of walking around the walls seems foolish in human eyes, including the banks.
I’m humbly asking that you walk with me and those who live in this condo to overcome the financial walls needed to purchase this home.
