Description
Hosted by Lance Chase, this episode of Focus Hawaii features Alroy Enos, a longtime Kaua‘i educator and community leader, who discusses A Promise Kept, a large‑scale religious and cultural pageant produced annually on the island of Kaua‘i. Enos traces his personal journey from growing up in Papakōlea to serving a church mission, teaching on Kaua‘i, and becoming involved with the pageant following the unifying aftermath of Hurricane Iniki. The conversation explores the origins, purpose, and message of A Promise Kept, which weaves Hawaiian history, faith, song, dance, and prophecy into a dramatic presentation emphasizing Jesus Christ’s role among the peoples of the Pacific. Through featured clips depicting Queen Liliʻuokalani and the Second Coming of Christ, the episode highlights the pageant’s themes of resilience, spiritual identity, cultural heritage, and communal faith as expressed by hundreds of volunteer performers from across Kaua‘i.
