Robin and I attended two of the five services at New Hope over the weekend. Their “Levites” come in on Friday night and set up the whole high school campus for the two Saturday night and three Sunday morning services.
The stage set is so beautiful that it’s hard to believe that they set up and tear down every weekend. They have made themselves indispensible to the public high school. They have installed stage lights, sound, and air conditioning. They have increased the electrical capacity of the building to handle the additional load. They painted and carpeted the auditorium. They have spent hundreds of thousands on a school that they rent.
Why? Because property on Oahu is much too expensive. One 15 acre property they looked at went for 
over 60 million. Pastor Wayne says that he would rather use that kind of money to send missionaries and plant more churches.
I agree.
