WHAT WE’RE ABOUT

Our Approach

The Pillars LLC is a community organization business that engages community with innovation, creativity, and intention.

To truly engage a community, you must love the people.

We believe community engagement should improve the lives of those engaged. The Pillars LLC creates events, livelihood projects, and opportunities for those it chooses, with the purpose of connecting with people in meaningful and genuine ways.

Our purpose with engagement is to build trust, hope, and faith. To better advocate for our communities, represent them, and build collective organization to fight injustices. That the land be used by the people, for the people, in responsible, innovative, and loving ways. To envision a future of unity, and freedom.

To give meaning to those who are searching, to set the ones who are trapped free, and to pursue truth.

We are not a religious organization, nor are we affiliated with any church. 

OUR VISION

Kalihi is a place of change, and where the impossible happens everyday. Families love each other, and the community is a place of wealth, innovation, and hope. Kalihi is a place that shines brightly in Hawaiʻi, where people all over the world come to see and marvel at the change and love that emanates from it. There is no sick, there is no hate, and there is no darkness. The people are free, they know they are loved, they are educated, they cast vision, they create, they dance, sing, and play! There is healing, miracles, and greatness at every corner, and every person has a marvelous story of Jesus and His love. The land is beautiful, fruitful, filled with truth, and free of offense. Businesses thrive, new ideas are always coming out, the roads are clean, and the children shout in joy. The government is loved, and the government loves Kalihi. The churches are unified, and no longer caught in their own agenda; their love for each other permeates Kalihi. It just doesn't stay in Kalihi however, it spreads throughout Hawaiʻi, then the United States, and then the world. Kalihi is bathed in favor, warmth, and joy. When people think of love, they think of Kalihi. Love and Kalihi are one: LoveKalihi. There is no race that hates another, there is no violence, there is no confusion, and there is no suffering. Jesus Christ says Kalihi is His home, and Kalihi calls Him her King, being filled with the knowledge, love, and presence of God. 

Our Mission

To love Kalihi, wherever it may take us, and whatever it takes to do it. To pursue people, to exhibit the impossible being done, and to love relentlessly, with discipline, practicality, and authority. To fear nothing.
