Vision & Mission Statement
Preaching the message of
"Salvation through Jesus Christ"
ministered with the Art of Hula
Ha`i Ola means "Preach Salvation" in Hawaiian. We are a non-profit Polynesian Dance Troupe. We are dedicated to minister God's Word in "Spirit and in Truth", giving all glory and honor to our Lord and Savior; and by doing so, encourage our Brothers and Sisters in Christ and bring those in need of God's saving grace to a knoweldge of Salvation and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We view our dance not as a performance, but as an Art form of praise and worship, dancing for an audience of "One".......The Lord Jesus Christ.

"Success is not measured by status, performance or outward appearance. It is measured by your heart; because what comes from the heart dictactes your motives, establishes your integrity, and identifies your relationship with Jesus Christ."
