Author Archives: Jim Baker Today is “Aloha Day” where we welcome all of our new students. We have over 30 students in the DTS this quarter and 10 in the SBS. Jess’s students in the SBS (School of Biblical Studies, a 9 month intensive inductive Bible study course) started on Monday. They hit the ground running this week diving […]  Hey everyone, September is flying by. Late August and early September are SO hot in Hawaii. The trade winds die down so there isn’t that cool breeze which means things are humid. Staff training for YWAM started this week. Today we were taught about “moralistic therapeutic deism” and discussed how to battle this in our […]  [the team gathered around a campfire at the Walrod’s house] Almost every night we had a debriefing time. I think we called it team time. I had realized the week before on a camping trip in Hawaii that I could buy a small charcoal grill and use it as a fire pit. So when we […]  If you’ve been a reader here long you’ve read some of my blog posts about going down to Waikiki and doing street ministry with the homeless.

Yesterday I was going to write a blog post and I was looking at the google analytics on each of my posts. 1 visitor was all that my last post had. Sobering. If I’m not linking my blog posts on social media, not very many people […]  Hola everyone. [the JAMESTOWN team – Jeff, Shannon, Julia, Hannah, Jim, and Jess] We are back from Jamestown NY and had an amazing time. We’ll be sending out a ministry update soon with all of the details of that trip. If you have not already please sign up for that list here –> http://eepurl.com/kklI1 And […]  We’re on the road leading a missions trip in Jamestown NY. So I’ve asked our friend Ashley to write a guest post for us. == I can’t even tell you how many times it has happened. My day is winding down as I enjoy a cup of green tea, and I realize… I have no […]  [A photo from our luau!] Our friend Sandi came and visited us recently. Sandi and I went to preschool together. During her stay she treated us to a day at the Polynesian Cultural Center! She was such a grateful guest. At the end of every day she thanked us for an amazing day. We […] |
