As Seen On

Our Mission

Love God, love others

Revolution Hawaii exists to reach, disciple and mobilize young adults. Our purpose is making disciples of young adults with the mission of loving and serving the poor and needy, while equipping them to be lifelong followers of Jesus. We are an incarnational, hands-on ministry: short on talk and heavy on action.

Living simply and loving deeply is where life finds its meaning.

Our Story

Twenty seasons on the North Shore

The Salvation Army has served in Hawaii since 1894 and has run Camp Homelani since 1947, on the beach in Waialua, a North Shore sugar town whose mill ran until 1996. Revolution Hawaii joined that story in 2006, and in 2026 celebrated its 20th season of discipling young adults.

“15 years ago I left home to be here, and right away I knew God had a different calling on my life than I realized. Because of what I learned, I’m still following the Lord. Since then, God has given me an adventure, a calling, a wife, and 2 adopted kids—right here in Hawaii. Hang on to your board shorts - it’s gonna be a wild ride”
