Thank you for stopping by! Your gift helps me continue full-time ministry here in Kona and supports a practical grazing solution: equipping sheep to safely manage overgrown areas and reduce fire hazards. I’m aiming to equip 10 sheep with “NoFence” collars, and every donation makes a real difference. Choose the method that works best for you below.

Despite being deaf for much of my life, I completed my Discipleship Training School in 1990 in Hong Kong and served in India. Later, I lived in Quezon City, Philippines, before coming to UofN Kona to study in the School of Digital Communication. With cochlear implants, I now have nearly normal hearing and a God-given courage to speak up and bless others.

Over 22 years at UofN Kona, I’ve staffed schools, worked in communications, and cared for the campus sheep — a flock that helps reduce fire hazards and brings joy to the community.

I have a loan to cover the balance above the donations already given toward my home purchase. Thank you for your support!
