HeartBeat—May 2021

From Pastor Jeff

Need to Know, Need to Act, Part 1

Let us pray. Holy God, teach us to see in one another dignity and belovedness, that we might honor one another as creations of your hand, and help one another to live as you intend. Amen.

I recently attended on online training through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding human trafficking and online sexual exploitation. The prevalence of human trafficking in all its permutations is astonishing, to say the least, and certainly terrifying. The DHS, as part of its “Blue Campaign,” is asking faith communities to help raise awareness about human trafficking. They describe the program as: “the unified voice for the U.S Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to combat human trafficking. Working with federal, state, and local governments—including law enforcement and non-governmental and other private organizations—the Blue Campaign strives to protect the fundamental right to freedom and bring those who exploit human lives to justice.”

The scope of their work includes incidents of coerced work, outright slavery, online and in-person sexual exploitation of adults and minors, and most recently, sharing of sexual images (particularly of underage persons) without consent. Our role as a faith community stems from Christ’s command to care for our neighbor and to care for the most vulnerable of our society. By learning more about human trafficking and sexual exploitation, how it works, and how our young people are being lured into dangerous territory, we can be better prepared to respond to victims of this terrible crime.

So, how prevalent is human trafficking? According to the International Labor Organization, worldwide, there are over 152 million children, between the ages of 5 and 17, in child labor. Roughly half of them are in hazardous work. Of those, over 25 million adults and 4 million children are trapped in forced labor. Sometimes human trafficking is characterized as a “third world problem.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Nevada reports nearly 8 of every 100,000 people are victims of human trafficking. California reports about half that number, and Hawai‘i is rated at nearly 2.5 per 100,000.

Several community and governmental organizations point to commercial sex trafficking to be of particular concern in Hawai‘i. Ho‘õla Nā Pua reports that in 2019, over 48,000 ads were posted for commercial sex in Hawai‘i. A 2018 study in Hawai‘i (PDF) indicated that a $14 advertisement for sex, through an online advertisement, resulted in 756 responses in the first 24 hours! There were 58 similar advertisements posted on the same day the study posted their research-related ad.

The numbers are simply staggering. According to this research, the appetite for commercial sex in Hawai‘i is much higher than in most any other U.S. state. The study concludes that human trafficking in Hawai‘i is driven largely by market demand and lackluster law enforcement.

While some see prostitution as a victimless crime, social service organizations indicate that many persons enter prostitution without consent, and are not able to freely leave prostitution or other forms of sex trafficking. The face of human sex trafficking includes the prostitution and commercial sexploitation of children.

Eleven years old—that is the average age children indicate they were first trafficked for sex. Eleven years old! Imagine being trapped in such a life at eleven years old, and being told that the people paying for sex with you are not guilty because it is a “victimless crime.” While some enter “the life” willingly, issues like drug addiction, poverty, being forced into the life by family members, and coercion by others are common entry points for human trafficking.

So, what can we do? First, be informed. Check out the information available through the links in this article. Learn about the companies that are known to use child labor and boycott them. Second, be aware. Monitor your children and grandchildren and look for signs of trouble or distress. Be sure young people in your life are aware of sexploitation. Please download this helpful PDF for more information.

If you suspect human trafficking, experts warn you should not try to interfere on your own. Call 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (1-866-347-2423) to report suspicious criminal activity to federal law enforcement. Highly trained specialists take reports from both the public and law enforcement agencies. If you are a victim and need help or if you want to find support for a victim, contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Call 1-888-373-7888 or text HELP or INFO to BeFree (233733). Of course, there is a lot more information about human trafficking that I did not include here. Please click on the links in this article to learn more about human trafficking and what we can do.

Let us pray. Holy healer, teach us to live surrounded by your Holy Spirit. Open our eyes to invisible victims living right in front us. Give us courage to act for welfare of others, and weave us anew into a world where people are not commodities to be used for profit. Amen.

Next month, we will discuss some strategies for keeping our young people safer online.

Blessings,
Pastor Jeff

Looking In: Stewards of Talents

Our stewardship theme for the year, “Stewards of God’s Love,” began with a focus on looking at how God’s love comes down. Then, in March, we began to consider ways God’s love works in us as we care for the resources God entrusts to us. During the last part of our stewardship year, we will examine how that love moves out into the world as we use our talents and gifts to care for our neighbor.

As May begins, we find ourselves in the middle of the Easter season. We continue to celebrate the joy of the resurrection while anticipating the gift of the Spirit celebrated on the 23rd, which is Pentecost Sunday. We also continue to focus on the ways God’s love works in us to care for the resources God entrusts to us. So far, we have focused on the resources of stuff and money. Last month we heard from Willow Chang in a video sharing something about the choices she makes regarding how, where, and why she does or does not spend her money.

This month we consider our role as stewards of the unique gifts and talents God has given each of us. Indeed, each of us is uniquely gifted. The program guiding your stewardship team this year states, “One of the primary places that God has called us to use these gifts and talents is through our vocations. Our vocations may take the form of a job, but they also include our callings as mothers, fathers, sisters, friends, citizens and so much more. These vocations or callings are the places from which we love God and our neighbors.”

I, in my youth, used to envy people who, when asked what they wanted to be when they grow up, knew exactly what they wanted to be and pursued this vocation with a passion. I also admire people who have worked many years in the same field and sometimes for the same organization or company throughout their lives. I, on the other hand, had no clue what my calling/vocation was. I first wanted to be a physical therapist like my sister but did poorly in the sciences and wound up graduating with a degree in German. And, by the time I graduated, a new direction took me to the University of Oregon and a graduate degree program in therapeutic recreation.

Throughout life my journey became more circuitous as I discerned what it was I was called to be and do. And, I have worn a variety of hats. I think of calling/vocation as something that gives me/us meaning and purpose. There is often a passion behind it that motivates us—a divine spark if you will. My vocation as a recreational therapist involved working with people in a rehab setting initially, but mostly it involved working with our kūpuna in long term care settings and finally with the Alzheimer’s Association. I worked in this field for about 10 years. It involved being creative, teaching, supervising, and supporting, all done with a caring heart.

I hit a rough patch in life that brought me back to LCH, where I worked with the youth and served on intern support committees. During this time, our father died, and suddenly, I felt like I could no longer consider what I wanted to be “when I grow up” but had to grow up now, and fast. Following an intern committee meeting, I asked the intern about seminary. Once the question was spoken, it became a sense of call. My family wondered how I would handle the preaching part. However, people encouraged me. and I headed off to seminary later that year. Many of you were present at my ordination in 1995 after which I headed to Michigan, where I served three different congregations over a period of 14 years. And, yes, I preached, as well as taught, led, and, as a transitional pastor, helped two congregations process new directions before searching for a new pastor.

Weather and distance from family took me from Michigan to Pasadena, CA, where I lived a year with my older brother and his family while hoping for a congregational call somewhere on the West Coast. But, due to the downturn in the economy, openings were few and far between. What were my options? I reluctantly applied to do a year of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) with Pacific Health Ministry. It took half of the year for me to realize/rediscover a sense of call, meaning, and purpose that chaplaincy has become for me. I am in my tenth year with Pacific Health Ministry as a chaplain. It involves interdisciplinary work, leadership, staff support, patient and family support, much listening, and attentiveness to various situations.

Each step of my circuitous vocational journey was important, and I am grateful for the different ways God has given me meaning and purpose. I now invite you to read First Corinthians, chapter 12, which talks about spiritual gifts and the one body in Christ of which we are all a part through baptism. You may have several of the gifts/talents named in that chapter. Hear from First Corinthians 12:27 and following: “Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then deeds of power, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of leadership, various kinds of tongues.”

As a hospital chaplain, God has entrusted me with gifts of listening, teaching, leading, an ability to walk with others helping them explore/process their situations, all with a compassionate and caring heart. As I use these gifts to accompany others on life’s journey, I pray that I am sharing the grace of God; a grace that others have generously shared with me throughout my life

I consider the ear a good symbol for my gift of listening and helping with healing. It is the kind of listening that attends to what lies behind what the person is saying. It is a listening that responds not with answers but with conversation that helps the person do their own deeper listening. A road map symbolizes my gift of accompanying people on the journey. A heart symbolizes the compassion, empathy, and openness I hope to bring to my encounters with others.

So, I ask each of you, what is your vocation? What gives you meaning and purpose? What gifts/talents has God entrusted to you individually and to us as a congregation collectively? How is God calling you as an individual, and us as a congregation, to steward our gifts and talents through our respective vocations?

Are there vocational symbols which represent your gifts/talents/vocations; symbols that you might share visually with the congregation? As you consider your stewardship of talents, we invite you to send us your photographs of these gifts that we might collect them in a visual offering plate to share during our livestream worship.

May we all grow as stewards of the vocations God has entrusted to us. May we work together to live out our vocations, sharing God’s love and building bridges that connect us with one another as well as the neighbor in need.

LCH OFFICE CLOSED

Monday, May 31 in observance of Memorial Day

Updating Prayer Requests

Please help us to keep the Prayer Requests list relevant. If you have a friend or loved one who should remain on the list, we are glad to keep them in prayer. Please email the office to let us know when a name may be removed from the list.

Regular Offerings

While we are not able to meet in person, you are encouraged to mail your offering check directly to the church: Lutheran Church of Honolulu, 1730 Punahou Street, Honolulu HI 96822. If you would like to set up regular electronic funds transfer from your checking or savings account, forms are available at www.lchwelcome.org/support or can be requested by email to LCH@LCHwelcome.org. If you prefer to make a one time contribution or ongoing pledge by credit card, there is a link in the bottom right corner of each page of the church website or you can go directly to www.lchwelcome.org/donate. Thank you!

Save on Your Taxes!

For individuals taking required distributions from a retirement account, under the new tax law, if you give cash or check donations from your personal funds, you will be taxed on your distribution, and you may not be able to take the deduction. There are two ways to avoid this.

1. Donate directly to LCH from your IRA If you take money directly from your IRA to give to LCH, this increases your income and may increase your tax bracket. You may not be able to use the deduction because of the new, higher standard deduction. Give directly by telling your IRA provider to donate to the church—the account representative will do this easily.
2. Give appreciated stock directly to LCH. If you sell stock and then donate, it increases your tax bracket, and you may not be able to use the deduction because of the new, higher standard deduction. Instruct your broker to donate directly to LCH.

The church’s legal name and address is:

Lutheran Church of Honolulu (Note: There is no The in the title)
1730 Punahou Street, Honolulu, HI 96822

If you need the Federal Tax ID (EIN) or if you have questions, please contact Steve Miller. As always, please check with your tax advisors to determine what is appropriate for you.

Edward Shipwright Memorial Piano Fund

The church has an ongoing need for maintenance of our current piano, which is on generous loan from Mark Wong. We also need to plan for eventual purchase of an excellent, permanent piano for LCH.

Therefore, we have established the Edward Shipwright Memorial Piano Fund. Dr. Shipwright was the head of the piano division of the Music Department at UH Mānoa. Many people associated with LCH were students or friends of Ed. The fund will be a fitting memorial to his 50 years of teaching and playing.
