Bread of Life Christian Church in Honolulu
Location: Honolulu, Hawaii
Pastor: Reverend Joseph Sun
Year started: 2001
Honolulu, also known as Sandalwood, is the capital of Hawaii and the largest city of Hawaii. Due to the early years of sandalwood exported to China, it was known to Chinese as the Sandalwood. Since the nineteenth century, a large number of Chinese laborers came to Hawaii to engage in agriculture. They started to form Chinese communities and began to set up churches among the Chinese communities. In 2001, the work of the Holy Spirit greatly fell in Honolulu. Some of those who had believed for many years, but did not study the bible or pray, were greatly filled with the Holy Spirit, their lives were overturned by the renewal, once again reborn by God, and they began the weekly church gatherings. Since then, God led them to connect with Bread of Life Christian Church and established Bread of Life Christian Church in Honolulu. The church is led by Pastor Sun, and his wife Pastor Du WeiWei from Emmanuel Bread of Life Christian Church in Los Angeles. During these years, God led the Church in Honolulu where many workers were established by the Lord as ministers and church leaders serving the Church around the world. At the same time, Honolulu is a missionary driven church. Pastor Sun and Pastor Du WeiWei are committed to planting and building churches in various places. Samoa River of Life Christian Church in the Pacific Central American Samoa is also one of them. They are committed to winning more for God lost soul. May God bless the various ministries of the Bread of Life Christian Church in Honolulu, so that all their ministry can testify to God's love and show God's glory.
檀香山，又稱為火奴魯魯，是夏威夷首府及最大城市。因早年盛檀香木，並大量出口中國，因此被稱為檀香山。從十九世紀開始，就有大批華裔勞工到夏威夷從事農業，在當地形成華裔社區，並開始有人在華裔社區中建立教會。2001年，聖靈的工作大大降臨在檀香山，一些信主多年，但不讀經也不禱告的弟兄姊妹，被聖靈大大的充滿，生命被更新翻轉，再一次被神復興，並開始了教會每週的聚會。此後，神帶領他們與靈糧堂聯結，建立了檀香山靈糧堂，並由洛杉磯以馬內利靈糧堂的孫新民牧師和杜蔚蔚牧師夫婦牧養。在這些年間，神帶領檀香山靈糧堂行在神的旨意中，許多工人在這裡被主建立，成為在世界各地教會事奉的傳道人和教會領袖。同時，檀香山是個有宣教異象、願意給予的教會。孫新民牧師和杜蔚蔚牧師夫婦致力於在各地各處植堂、建立教會，位於太平洋中美屬撒摩亞群島的撒摩亞生命河靈糧堂也是其中之一，他們致力於為神贏得更多失喪的靈魂。願神祝福檀香山靈糧堂的各樣事工，讓他們的一切服事能見証神的慈愛，彰顯神的榮耀。

Pray for the unity of the church, that the love of the Lord may fill the hearts of the brothers and sisters, helping us to love one another. May we see each other according to the measure of faith that the Lord has given, appreciating one another and being willing to support each other. May the truth of the Lord dwell in the hearts of all believers, with our lives becoming testimonies that inspire one another, and spreading the gospel as our shared mission.
