As you may have heard, our dear friends Brenda and Denny Kaneshiro invited us to come to the small island of Molokai, Hawaii, for a month-long mission trip. We were asked to share a couple of workshops. The first was the Keys to Living Like You've Been Saved Workshop (which is a new 6-session workshop on victorious Christian living that we shared for the first time while in Hawaii). Second, we shared the Growing Godly Relationships workshop (a 6-session workshop on teen purity).

Molokai is very beautiful! It is one of the most natural and least commercial of all the Hawaiian Islands. Because of the tropical sun and frequent mists it is called the Island of the Rainbows. It is also known as the "dark island" of Hawaii. It is an island known for rich Hawaiian "culture," which often is a “nice” term for old fashioned spirit worship. Much of the pagan elements of Hawaiian religion were originated on Molokai.  Thus, from the outset, we knew this trip would be prayer matter.  And it certainly did keep us on our knees.  We would have a victory, only

Ministry in Molokai

The Kaneshiro’s had invited us to share both the Keys workshop and the teen relationship workshop on Molokai, but the meeting location was undetermined at first. Then we received an invitation from Pastor Kurt Unglaub, to hold the two workshops in the Molokai SDA church.

The meetings were well advertised and very well attended – again all glory goes to God! The first night of the Keys to Living Like You’ve Been Saved workshop was attended by about 35 people (see the picture on the lower left, taken the first night). The attendance grew to over 50 people as the workshop progressed. We had printed 100 of the new workbooks to accompany the workshop, so we had enough materials for everyone. Each attendee (except small children) received a free workshop workbook and a free Keys to Living Like You’ve Been Saved booklet. Pastor Unglaub pulled us aside during the week of the first workshop and exclaimed, “this is a VERY good turnout!”

During the workshop we covered practical guidelines for victorious Christian living and training on warfare and intercessory prayer. The workshop was designed to help folks not only learn how to live a sanctified lifestyle, but also how to minister to others after the pattern found in the early Christians in Scripture.

On a couple of nights, Denny Kane- shiro (pictured on the right) blessed us all with worshipful with special music selections performed on violin.

Denny and Brenda also helped by leading out inone of the group sessionswhich met each eveningat the closing of the work-shop.

From this workshop, there were 14 individuals who chose to submit totally to Christ and experience the cleansing of an anointing prayer session. Several who received the anointing began anointing their family and homes. We were thrilled to see how the precious people were not only applying the information gained in a personal way, but were lifting the ministry banner and carrying the work of intercession forward.

Many miracles took place in the lives of the dear ones who experienced the anointing. One couple had been nearly torn apart by a variety of spiritual “cancers” including rage and violence, but expressed that the change in their lives and home after the anointing was dramatic. They continue to walk in victory in Yahshua and are praising God as the devil loses ground in their lives and home.

Another individual had been suffering stomach problems and food allergies. YHWH not only brought spiritual healing, He also lifted these physical afflictions during the anointing! Continued on page 3

to be followed by another serious spiritual attack.  But, in spite of all the devil had to dish out, the ultimate victory gained by the Kingdom of Heaven was great – for which we praise YHWH!

We arrived on Molokai on July 10, 2008 and departed on August 10, 2008. It was a wonderful month-long ministry trip.

On the first night of the Keys workshop there were about 35 people in attendance. This number grew to a little over 50 as the week progressed. The above photo was taken on the first night as the people listen to first session of the Keys to Living Like You’ve Been Saved workshop.

We arrived in Molokai on July 10th. But the first workshop wasn’t scheduled to begin until July 18th, so we helped out with the SDA church Vacation Bible School program and got to know the people a bit. It was a fun week and allowed us to develop friendships prior to starting anointings and workshops. This time later proved to be a blessing we couldn’t have completely foreseen. Because of this initial week, several of the more shy folks became comfortable enough to be open to having prayer sessions with us in the days that followed.

Another person was sorely tempted to skip the anointing surrender. The enemy attack was so great this individual went out and got drunk the night before the anointing was scheduled to take place. Still, with all glory to God and in answer to many fervent prayers, this precious soul came fully to Christ the next day and went through with the full cleansing of the anointing service. Throughout the remainder of our stay in Molokai, it was a joy to see how dynamic and real the transformation was in this person’s life.

Prior to the workshop, one young teen had been experiencing demonic manifestations such as seeing threatening forms and having demonic presences making themselves visibly known to her. Thoroughly frightened, the young lady was impressed, during the Keys workshop, to be anointed

and surrender to Christ. She and her family faithfully attended the workshop every night. This in itself was evidence of God’s power, as the young people in this family didn’t often desire to attend religious meetings. Additionally, the teens’ mother expressed joy at finding them praying together of their own volition, which she hadn’t seen them do for about nine years.

And these are just a few of the mighty things God was doing in the lives of the precious folks we were blessed to pray with and minister with on the island of Molokai. We are still praising His Name for the way the Heavenly Father dynamically changes submitted lives!

The second workshop was titled Growing Godly Relationships for teens and pre-teens. Shauna taught this workshop, which was attended by about 15 young people, and several of their parents. At first, we found it amazing that parents were bringing their nine and ten year olds to the meetings designed to teach about godly dating and sexual purity. But, several parents quickly assured us that this was necessary as the young people in Molokai commonly become sexually active between 10 and 11 years old.

During the workshop, the young people and their parents were taught how the world “loves” in a way that uses others. This was compared with how Heaven does relationships. Night-by-night the heavenly pattern for real friendship and marriage was prayerfully revealed in stark contrast with the worldly “fool’s gold” of relationships based on selfishness.

Each workshop participant received a free Growing Godly Relationships workbook to fill out during the sessions. At the end of the 6-night session, a group of 11 young people answered the “altar call” and came forward for a special prayer session in which they committed their lives to Yahshua (Jesus) and to purity. All those who came forward for this prayer session received a free Keys to Living Like You’ve Been Saved booklet.

We ask you to continue praying for the work YHWH is still doing with the precious people in Molokai. Many of those who were anointed take seriously the Gospel commission. Not only are they now living a changed life in Christ, they are working to help others find the power of an active, life-changing Gospel. Praise YHWH, our time there was only a beginning!

As most are aware, there are some fairly sobering things taking place in the world that clearly indicate we are living in the last days. But, many of us may be noticing the world events while still thinking that we have time before the trouble really begins because we’ve been taught that the really serious stuff happens after the national Sunday Law is enacted. But the idea that the abomination that maketh desolate happens before any winds of serious trouble begin isn’t a pattern born out in Bible history.

Recently, some information has come into our hands that suggests an imminent crisis may be coming in the next few weeks, which will likely precede the expected national Sunday Law. We do not now share some of this information with you to be

alarmists. Rather we share what we have found as a warning about POSSIBLE developments which may take place in September and October of this year. In our view, it is better to take precautions and be wrong, than to take no prayerful action at all, because one is not sure these things will come to be. As the Bible says in Proverbs 22:3, “A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.”

Before we go any further into sharing SOME of what we are finding, it is essential that we remind you dear ones to NOT BE AFRAID! YHWH is so mighty a Heavenly King that fearing the future is a terrible lack of faith on our part. In Revelation 21:8 we find that the fearful are the first listed who will be cast into the lake of fire in the end. Why? Because YHWH is love and fear is of the enemy. (1 John 4:18-19) So, before reading on, be reminded of Hebrews 13:6, “So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my Helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” Let none of us fall prey to the mindset of the 10 spies whose hearts failed them in fear at the prospects of facing “giants” in the land of Canaan!

Now with a trust-in-God mindset, we are ready to share with you what we are finding. We are hearing from a variety of sources that a collapse of the US economy is scheduled (yes, we did say “scheduled”) to take place in September of 2008. Here are a few quotations in this regard:

“According to LEAP/E2020, the end of the third quarter of 2008 (September, 2008) will be marked by a new tipping point in the unfolding of the global systemic crisis … The collapse of US real economy means the virtual freeze of the American economic machinery: private and public bankruptcies in large numbers, companies and public services closing down massively.”

(Les dessous de l’information mondiale - Downside World News Global systemic crisis - September 2008 - Phase of collapse of US real economy)

“…We are now resolutely stepping into an era with no historical precedent. Our researchers insisted on that many times in the last two years: any comparison with the previous crises of our modern economy would be fallacious. It is neither a “remake” of the 1929 crisis nor a repetition of the 1970s oil crises or 1987 stock market crisis. It is truly a global systemic crisis, that is to say a crisis affecting the entire planet and questioning the very foundations of the international system upon which the world was organized in the last decades.”

Several sources report that banks may take an extended “holiday” or go completely belly up during this time. The “holiday” would mean banks would close denying Americans access to their bank accounts. Continued on page 5

The Time of Trouble May Be Coming Sooner Than You Think!

“And when these things begin to

come to pass, then look up, and lift

up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

Luke 21:28

Sources report that this bank “holiday” may extend for about five months. The probability is high that many banks will never re-open. Thus, if this financial crisis does take place in September, 2008, many US citizens could lose their money entirely if it is left in the banks during this time.During the bank holiday, many Americans will be unable to pay their bills or buy necessities. Property could be repossessed due to a lack of payment. It is believed that in such an economic crisis, American cities could become riot zones with mass looting and other social turmoil. This would certainly be the right environment for the next part of the plan. Sources claim that there will not be a November election, due to the United States undergoing martial law.In one article titled Martial Law, Bush’s October Surprise by Frank Morales, we find the following:“In a stealth maneuver, President Bush has signed into law a provision which, according to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), will actually encourage the President to declare federal martial law (1). It does so by revising the Insurrection Act, a set of laws that limits the President's ability to deploy troops within the United States.”(www.towardfreedom.com)Dr. Jerome Corsi was interviewed on C-SPAN, Washington Journal, regarding an article he had written on World Net Daily, May 24, 2007. The article was titled: Bush Makes Power Grab. In the interview, Dr. Corsi explained that George W. Bush has signed a series of laws into place that undo the former checks and balances on the presidency. The term “national emergency” has been redefined. President George W. Bush now has full power to declare Martial Law at any time these loose definitions of “national emergency” take place. It should be noted that a financial collapse of the US economy or the closing of the US banks

Lighted Way MinistriesMark and Shauna ManfredineP.O. Box 742Canyonville, OR 97417Phone:(541) 672-1514Website:http://www.lightedway.org

would certainly qualify under the new definition as a national emergency. This interview can be viewed on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=jatpX6kuxHQ. What would Martial Law mean? The following laws indicate some of the ramifications of Martial Law: All communications media seized by the Federal Government (10995); electrical power, fuels and minerals would be seized (10997); all food resources, farms and farm equipment would be seized (10998); all kinds of transportation, highways, airports, railways and seaports would be seized (10999 & 11003); civilians could be seized for work under Federal supervision and relocated (11000 & 11004). And these are just some of the legal provisions for Martial Law in the U.S. On July 5, 1987 the front page of the Miami Herald Newspaper carried a now famous article describing secret White House plans to: DECLARE AN UNDEFINED ‘NATIONAL EMERGENCY’,"RE-OPEN CONCENTRATION CAMPS FOR PREVENTIVE DETENTION OF LEGAL DISSIDENTS CERTAIN ETHNIC GROUPS, AND SUSPEND OUR UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION” Dear ones, this is not a time for great fear. Rather it is a time for great faith. It is also not a time to bury one’s head in the sand. Should you take any steps to prepare in case these warnings are well-founded? That’s between you and God. We suggest that you begin by prayerfully making certain there is nothing between your own soul and your Saviour. Unconfessed, unrepented of sin is the only thing that will keep you from being protected under Heaven’s shield (Romans 8:28). Be watchful, and seek YHWH with your whole heart. In addition, the Spirit of Prophecy councils to get out of cities and have a garden are becoming exceedingly relevant. A word to the wise…
