Hawaiians are eager to say ‘aloha’ to mainlanders says Leanne Pletcher, Dir of PR and Marketing at the Maui Visitor and Convention Bureau.

Convoy of Hope arrived in Lahaina, West Maui with emergency supplies days after the fire, trading their trademark big rigs for big boats. The Christ-centered ministry also remains involved in dozens of disasters and war zones in the U.S. and worldwide. “We are on the ground working in the Middle East,” confirms Convoy spokesman Ethan Forhetz, and though he ‘can’t say much’ in order to protect the safety of local partners, he says more than 40,000 pounds of food was recently delivered by cargo plane to Israel and Gaza.

WildOps invites combat vets to gather in places like Ansel Adams Wilderness or 11,000 ft in the Sierras or rural Montana. “We seek the isolated veteran – a big chunk of them that don’t wanna be found,” says founder Jeff Morris.

Why is Rob committing so much time and effort to these videos? “I think that there’s definitely a need for people to understand how cool it is to be a dad. I feel like that’s a mission that God has given me to try to encourage dads to hang in there, and you’re needed and you’re valued.” It bothers him when he sees TV shows offering “stereotypes, Homer Simpson and Al Bundy…the bumbling dufus of a dad. And you know, I’ve met a lot of cool dads and a lot of very good dads. We need to encourage that behavior.” https://www.klove.com/news/positive-people/rob-kenney-internet-s-dad-shares-life-hacks-encouragement-and-loves-god-podcast-46413
“I looked at my mom and I was like – ‘I don’t think I can do this.” Elijah admits he was feeling “shaky, and I’m about the throw up, and I’m so nervous. Me and my mom grabbed a couple of other Ninjas who I looked up to, who were Christians, and they just prayed over me. And they’re like, ‘God, I pray that you give Elijah peace and he’ll be able to go out there and do what he does.'" https://www.klove.com/news/positive-people/an-american-ninja-warriorfor-christ-podcast-46310
“Each person is just a unique creation of God. Some know it and some don’t. But I know it. So, I view them as a person. What I always say is ‘I don’t teach mathematics; I teach people about mathematics.’” She knows her students are “created with purpose and for a purpose” and Dr. Gann considers it a privilege “that I get to intersect with their lives somehow.” https://www.klove.com/news/positive-people/trigonometry-calculus-and-jesus-professor-helps-overcome-learning-fears-life-issues-podcast-44431
College: “It’s a wonderful time in somebody’s life where everyone is really trying to figure out – not only who they are, what they’re going to do for the rest of their lives – but ‘what is truth? What is the meaning of life? Why am I going to college spending exorbitant amounts of money to get a degree…what is it for in the end?’” https://www.klove.com/news/positive-people/college-students-hungry-for-truth-real-meaning-of-life-podcast-44970

“Just so you know, some kids that are trafficked actually aren’t taken from their home – they still live at their house.” How does this happen? Social media chats. Expert tricksters spend months -- or even years -- lying to build friendship. Your good and smart kid may believe their online friend is their age “by the time they went to meet this person, it wasn’t who they thought they were.” Once the youth is tricked into sexually explicit activities they may be too afraid to tell you.

How do you approach a teen without getting a door slammed in your face? “A trusted adult is what a youth needs more than anything,” says Lori Butterworth of AIM, which strongly recommends all adults get certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. She compares it to CPR. “What if we worked really hard to raise the probability that when a child or teen has a mental health crisis that there is someone there to help them and save their life?"
