Waikiki Beach Outreach Ministry was initiated as a committee under The Body of Christ Jesus Fellowship July 4, 2003, when food was first distributed. As the outreach and food supply grew, the Waikiki Beach Outreach Ministry became independent and was registered in Hawaii as a Domestic Non-Profit Corporation on March 1, 2004 by Robert E. Erb, Jr. under Chapter 414D-32, Hawaii Revised Statues. It's objective is to feed and minister to the homeless on Waikiki Beach from Queen Kapiolani Beach Park (near the Waikiki Aquarium) to Lewers and Kalakaua six days a week. The original funding has been derived from what God has provided Bob Erb since July 2003. As of January 2005, the Waikiki Beach Outreach Ministry is feeding 80 to 125 people five or six times a week as God drops more food to the ministry. Every month the food contributions have increased and require more assistance. The outreach is growing and needs additional volunteers. Other churches, outreaches, organizations and individuals also assist with providing food on a regular basis. God is dropping food supplies that exceed the hours of the volunteers presently available. One example of a volunteer is Jenny who has been providing 120 sandwiches every Sunday since December and Pastor Bob distributes them. Are you willing to volunteer? God has shown us that the ministry is also in need of an office, food service facility, and sponsorship by a 501(c)(3) so that the ministry can buy food from the Food Bank right away, apply for grants, and register independently thereafter. The ministry is operating out of an apartment and using all funds to purchase food. But now, we need a new facility and additional funding to pay the increased rent that will be required. The pastor and all helpers are not asking for any wages for the time that God is moving them to contribute. The pastor is paying for all administration costs out of the pension God has given him and 100% of all donations has been used to purchase food. Are you willing to assist in some small way?   Contributions can be sent to post office box payable to Waikiki Beach Outreach Ministry.
