Meet our Pastor and His family

Kevin Akana was born and raised in Hawaii and grew up in Kahalu'u. He attended Castle High School and while he was there, he received the Lord as his Savior. He graduated in 1987 and around that time the Lord called him to preach. In 1988 he left Hawaii to go to Bible college in Oklahoma, and in 1992 he graduated from Oklahoma Baptist College. While he was at college he met Roxanne Kelso of Omaha, Nebraska. Shortly after they graduated from college they were married. They stayed on the mainland for 3 years where they traveled from church to church to raise support for the ministry God had called them to. God has called Kevin and Roxanne to minister in Hawaii; in the area where Kevin grew up. They truly have a burden to help the people of Hawaii to know Christ and to grow in Christ.
