Abstract
This study probes how an immigrant Pentecostal church in Hawaii has undertaken a robust ministry of serving the suffering in the community. The most discernible spiritual trait is the church’s primary focus on Pentecostal beliefs and practices, especially divine healing. Such religious encounters and experiences have, in turn, brought an empowering effect to the believers. This spiritual foundation has supported the church leader’s commitment to serving the poor, which has resulted in the church’s extraordinary service programs. This case study also critiques skepticism regarding the possibility of a “reverse mission” of first-generation immigrant Christians.
