Feeding the poor, widows, orphans, elderly and the homeless is an act that Jesus commands of us, and here on Maui no one does it better than Joyce Kawakami and the Feed My Sheep ministry. We would like to acknowledge all the help of the guests and owners of One Napili Way who help us start this homeless program and grow it so we could merge our small program with Feed My Sheep and for their continued to support with not only money but their time when here on Maui in helping serve.

Currently feeding more than 4000 people per month in three locations, Lahaina, Kahului and Honakawai, and moving 14 thousand pounds of food per month, Feed My Sheep has become the largest feeding program on Maui. In September of 2005 the ministry will expand to the south side of Maui in the Kihie area. For your interest just a $5.00 donation will feed a family for a month, and when Joyce and the Feed My Sheep crew deliver food to someone, it's not just a hot meal, its enough groceries for a week.

They are responsible for about 70% of the caloric intake of the recipients of the program. Even more important is how Joyce loves on and prays for these folks, it is truly beautiful to watch. In Lahaina we are test programming a prescription drug program for the elderly. Many of the elderly will not get prescription drugs because of the cost; we are putting in a program to help them with these costs. This ministry needs financial help not only for food, but help with transportation, storage and hiring a full time employee.

This is a ministry that you receive immediate and long term gratification from. Anyone visiting Maui is invited to come to any of the sites to participate or just watch. Everyone who has come has seen the importance of this ministry and the many lives it touches.
