The Adventist Community Services (ACS) Disaster Response (DR) Ministry community has been active in the recovery efforts with the recent fire disaster that happened on the island of Maui in Hawaii, August 8. There have been 93 confirmed deaths, and that number will probably rise as recovery efforts continue.
ACS director Mark Tamalaa is leading our local efforts and has set up a shelter at the Kahului Seventh-day Adventist Church, Maui, housing 50 of the total 707 residents in the shelter population who have lost their home to the fire.
In addition to the shelter, the state of Hawaii has asked ACS DR director Charlene Sargent to serve as a subject matter expert at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Maui, with the plan on using resources to offer distribution sites around the affected area.
The NAD will support the local Hawaii Conference and appreciate all the support being sent. Currently, cash donations are preferred.
Montrose Hispanic SDA Church will welcome Santo Valdez Robles on October 1 as pastor.
Pastor Valdez Robles served as an associate pastor in the Southern Dominican Adventist Association, chaplain and religion teacher at the Juan P. Duarate Adventist School, and Bible worker and evangelist in Georgia and Mississippi. Pastor Valdez Robles received his Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Dominican Adventist University in the Dominican Republic.
Pastor Valdez Robles did not grow up in an Adventist home but learned about the Adventist church at an early age. At age 17, he accepted Jesus into his life. His desire is to place his time, talents, and family at the service of the Lord. He is committed to Christ in carrying the Good News of salvation by proclaiming the message of the Three Angeles.
Eden Valley and Estes Park Seventh-day Adventist Churches will welcome Rex Bell on October 1 as lead pastor.
Pastor Bell has been in the Rocky Mountain Conference for years. He was the pastor at Brighton Adventist Church and was involved with the Brighton City Council. Pastor Bell has been doing temporary pastoral assignments for RMC since he retired.
Dan Hansen, who has been the Director of Camp Ministries at Glacier View Ranch since September 2013, is bidding us farewell on October 1. During his tenure, he fell in love with the majestic mountains that surround the camp.
Having been an active member of the Adventist Association of Camp Professionals for many years, his influence on the camp community will be deeply missed. Dan has fostered invaluable relationships with Pathfinders, schools, churches, and diverse faith communities, and he has enjoyed the opportunities to be a witness to them.
On October 2, Dan will embark on a new adventure as the Field Representative for Voice of Prophecy, continuing his journey of faith and community service. Dan’s wife, Julia, will assist with the transition in guest services and accounting, ensuring the camp’s continued success. The RMC and its youth ministries are indebted to Dan’s service. He will be greatly missed, we are happy for Dan’s new position, and we wish him the best at Voice of Prophecy.
—Jade Teal, RMC assistant youth director
