A woman gives God the glory for a place to live more than two years after her house burned down in Hawaii.
Eighty-five-year-old Eliza Nagaoka, known affectionately as Aunty Keala, smiled and hugged Samaritan’s Purse President Franklin Graham as she walked into her brand-new home in Lahaina, Hawaii, given to her by Samaritan’s Purse.
“It’s a beautiful, beautiful home,” she said. “I give God the glory.”
Franklin Graham joins staff and volunteers in praying with Aunty Keala during the dedication of her new home.
In August 2023, the deadly wildfire that engulfed Maui destroyed her house and took the lives of three loved ones.
Her house is one of more than a dozen new homes that Samaritan’s Purse volunteers have thus far built and dedicated on the island. In all, around 40 new homes will be constructed by the ministry.
“We’re grateful to God for the staff, the volunteers, and everybody that’s made it work,” Graham said following the dedication. “We give God the glory. We thank Him as this place begins to rebuild from the ashes.”
Please pray for those still hurting in Hawaii and for our rebuild teams as they continue to work in Jesus’ Name.
