SUMMER 2011  HBA Welcomes Fukushima Visitors— Raises nearly $12,000 for Japan Relief Effort Prayers, donations and compassion were sent to the people of Japan from Hawaii Baptist Academy (HBA) following the tragic events in March. Collectively, the students, parents, faculty and staff raised $11,773 for Baptist Global Relief to assist the people of Japan. HBA’s Christian Ministries Department, led by Rob Lockridge, kicked off a school-wide fundraising effort over several weeks. From a bake sale, to a penny collection drive, to “love offering” donation sites on campus, individuals and school clubs alike gave and did what they could to help. Middle school and high school students also welcomed a group of 15 adults and children from the Fukushima Asahimachi Baptist Church in Japan at a recent chapel service. Pastor Tomishige Kokubo described the devastation that they had witnessed. “There are a lot of people starving, stuck in the wreck around their homes without food, gas, water, or oil,” said Pastor Kokubo, of his hometown of Fukushima City. “Our visitors from Fukushima were impressed Above: HBA students welcome to the point of tears as 800 students surrounded the youngest Fukushima visitors. them with prayer,” recalled Chie Watanabe, HBA’s (l–r) Chantelle Sonoda (’13), Japanese language teacher, of the chapel service.

The project aims to bring a breath of hope, a smile or a laugh to the people of Northeastern Japan in the form of hand-made notes of support. Tomie Anne Tamura, grade 9, wanted to give encouragement to the people of Japan through her thoughtful and creative design. “I wanted to say that we all are praying for you and there is hope,” said Tamura. “My design says ‘Hope Survives.’ I think that it shows them that everything will be okay in the future.”

 SOARING EAGLE Alumni News Aloha, Alumni The HBA Alumni Association is blessed to have a great Board of Directors with members representing nearly every decade starting with the 1950s. The assoc­iation’s main purpose is to serve HBA and generate funds for a scholarship endowment, which will benefit students for years to come. Since its creation two years ago, the association continues to form partnerships and increase its awareness among alumni, the HBA community and beyond.

More exciting activities and ways to support the school are planned in the coming months, including another surf sample sale in November.

SUMMER 2011  Annual Giving Report FY 2009–2010

Dear HBA friends, The Lord continues to bless our school with a dedicated family of supporters on the mainland and here at home. Even through these uncertain times we are inspired by the generous and thoughtful gifts that help to carry out HBA’s mission of preparing young people in Hawaii to honor God with their lives. One of these gifts came to HBA earlier this year from Dr. Timothy Morita the estate of the late Nancy Blair. Ms. Blair, who lived in Chamblee, GA, was a talented woman with a compas- sionate spirit. She joined HBA’s Mainland Advisory Council (MAC) in 2006 and was a contributor to the Dan Kong Middle School Fine Arts Program. Ms. Blair had a unique gift for discovering the talents of young musicians, teaching and encouraging them to be best that they could be. “She fell in love with the kids,” recalled Mr. Johnson of Ms. Blair’s first visit to HBA. “She wanted to make music enjoyable; she loved HBA and wanted it done right for the Lord.” On her modest salary, Ms. Blair purchased a much needed keyboard for the school, followed by chimes for the middle school. Then, in a final act of generosity, she rewrote her will to include HBA in it. At the MAC’s annual visit to Hawaii this year, MAC member Wade Johnson of Atlanta made a special presentation on behalf his dear friend, Ms. Blair. MAC member Nancy Blair was a loyal supporter During the Aloha Banquet, Mr. Johnson presented President Bento with of HBA’s Fine Arts program a check for $150,000 from her estate; a portion of her total bequest to the school. Ms. Blair’s gift will be used to strengthen the music program at HBA and her legacy will live on through our students for years to come. The following pages of this annual giving report detail the gifts received during the 2009-2010 fiscal year. Contributions received during this time totaled $937,907 of which 36 percent, or $336,937, was designated for the Middle School Capital Fund. Thirty percent, or $279,184 was given to endowed scholarship funds, and $190,868 went to support the upcoming high school expansion. Although we do not know what tomorrow holds, we remain confident in the Lord’s guidance and trust in His plan for HBA. Thank you for your prayers, and for your gifts of time, talent and financial resources to support our school and students.

 SOARING EAGLE Whom Do I Thank For Hawaii Baptist Academy? A Grandfather’s Reflection

by Wyman Au

Looking back over the past 35 years, I am very pleased and grateful for the role that Hawaii Baptist Academy (HBA) has played in my family’s lives and how it continues to do the same for others today—providing a quality and outstanding Bible-based Christian education.

With three children having attended HBA, Through much faith, prayer, sacrifice, and generous giving and selfless support and with four grandchildren at the school and even adversity, God heard our in helping to make HBA what it is today. now, I have often wondered to myself, prayers and gave wisdom and favor to There is a saying that goes, “From a ‘whom do I thank for HBA?’ HBA. He sent wise leaders, dedicated small acorn, a mighty oak tree grows.” faculty and staff members, godly people HBA embodies everything that I had hoped This is the exciting story of HBA—a small and strong supporters to bless HBA. and wanted for my children—a program seed that was planted a long time ago, that exalts God and provides good spiritual I would like to also express my heartfelt but still growing and flourishing like the and moral training, strong academics, gratitude to these very special people that many mighty trees of God that we see a viable athletic program, and a clean God used to bless HBA. To the parents, on the campuses. and wholesome environment for learning. friends, teachers, staff, athletic department, I thank God for Hawaii Baptist Academy, I appreciate the impact HBA has had on administrators, volunteers, the Hawaii and everyone who helped to make it a my children, and now my grandchildren.

They are safe and happy there, and they Mainland Advisory Council (MAC): thank It is a God-given legacy to all of our chil- love their school and teachers very much. you very much for your prayers, sacrificial dren, grandchildren, and their children’s

children. God bless HBA!

“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” 1 Thessalonians 5:18

First and foremost, I would like to thank God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ for HBA. He knew our need long before HBA began. God put it into the hearts of the founders to begin His great plan and purpose for HBA. I saw how much God loves our children and desires that they learn His ways. I saw how God had His mighty hands on HBA. I saw how it had developed into a top school in Hawaii, still holding faithfully and firmly to its mandate of Christian education excellence for over 60 years. HBA is a strong counterbalance to the debilitating worldly influence on our youth. I see its students today as the ‘salt of the earth and the light of the world,’ and as tomorrow’s leaders and profes- sionals, like the many alumni who came before them.

Wyman Au and his wife Liz, have been supporters of HBA since 1976. Their children Wendell (’82), Winona White (’84) and Willisa Lau (’88) attended HBA. Today, their grandchildren, Amber Au, grade 11; Taylor White, grade 7; Emily White, grade 4; and Logan Lau, grade 1, continue the family tradition.
