Kaua`i Island Ministries - Since early 1999, KIM
has been at work equipping followers of Jesus to change the world from the inside out. Starting with individual men, women,
and youth, KIM engineers training opportunities for them to identify and develop their gifts in order to renew the local church
and give Glory to Jesus Christ in the world.
Creativity, Excellence, And Ohana - These are KIMs
hallmarks. We believe that while the message of Christ is the same, we need fresh means of communicating it in an increasingly
noisy world. Primary vehicles are KIMs conferences, seminars, retreats, and prison ministry.
Kaua`i Island Ministries - is an interdenominational
ministry, networking diverse Christian churches, organizations and people within multi-cultural communities, and pulling together
the Body of Christ under His Lordship across the island.

Roy "Rocky" Sasaki retired from the United
Methodist Church in 1994, only to get refired, revived, recycled when he got to Kauai. He and Dely, his wife, pastored churches
in California and Oahu for 34 years. They have two children and two teen grandkids. Rocky has had a radio ministry called
"The Logos" over KAIM Radio in Honolulu for five years using the telephone as his mike to broadcast his five minute N.T. messages.
For the past seven years, Rocky has been a networker and encourager to bring pastors and churches on Kauai together
in unity. He wants to see the Holy Spirit transform and bless churches, government, businesses and our island. He is presently
serving as the president of the Kauai Island Ministries, Inc., a non-profit, tax-exempt organization and is also one of its
founders.
As part of the "faith-based" organization, Rocky has been working with pastors and churches to establish
Christian transitional housing for inmates coming out of prison, so that they can be discipled and can also be trained new
job skills. At present, KIM is trying to start Support Groups in churches for ex-inmates. He encourages your prayers and support.
Mahaloha!
