What Is Needed:  In contrast to Hawaii's paradise-like sunsets, mountains, beaches, waterfalls, rainbows, and tropical flowers are ugly statistics revealing the deep social and spiritual needs in this society. A significant drop in tourism, the state's main industry, has hurt many local families.  Many long-time Hawaii residents can no longer afford to buy homes here.   Because there are a lot of poorer areas there are an influx of felt needs including poor medical, hopelessness, domestic abuse and addictions.  Because the weather is so temperate, the homeless...

What Is Needed: Amidst the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip, lies a lost and depraved city crying out for the truth. Las Vegas is in a unique situation. It brings in billions in revenue with the help of over 300 casinos and hotels, yet leads the country in home foreclosures and school dropout rates. The city's tolerance for various forms of adult entertainment has earned it the title of “Sin City.” Aside from the overwhelming presence of drug, alcohol and gambling addictions, the area suffers from one of the highest suicide and divorce rates of the U.S. An...

What is needed: The Dells is also the home to the Native American Ho-Chunk tribe. The Ho-Chunk (meaning “people of the big voice”) tribe owns 4,000+ acres across 12 counties, most of which are in and near the counties that the Dells shares. As of 2001 there were 6,159 tribe members.
