Dear Pastor, Ministry Director or Supervisor:
You
are requested to act as a reference for
______________________________________who
is
to be a guest of MAKAHIKI MINISTRIES, INC., in one of our
Hospitality Homes.
Through its Hospitality Homes Network, MAKAHIKI MINISTRIES provides places of rest and restoration for Christian clergy, missionaries and other Christian workers who are involved in spreading the Kingdom of God on earth. Makahiki is a Hawaiian word, which means new beginnings, a time of rest, and a break from warfare. Thus, to take a Makahiki is to have a time of physical rest and spiritual renewal. The purpose of a Makahiki is:
*To help and encourage Workers who get worn out from the demands that ministering to a hurting world places on them. Most people in ministry are givers, and a Makahiki is their chance to receive hospitality. It's a healthy way to "Come away by yourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile." Mark 6:31
*To rekindle the calling of Hospitality in the Church by teaching about and encouraging Hospitality as a gift of the Holy Spirit given for ministry. In sharing their homes with others, individuals and families can play a major role in affecting the world for Christ. WOULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
1. What is the applicant's involvement in your
church or organization?
2. How do you feel that the stated purposes of
MAKAHIKI can meet a need for the applicant?
