BIOGRAPHY  
 

Daniel Costales was born in Lihue, Hawaii, to Alice and "Pastor Timmy" Costales.  His early years were spent at Anahola Baptist Church and Kauai Christian Academy on the island of Kauai and Koolau Baptist Church and Academy on the island of Oahu.  In 1994 Daniel received a B.A. in the Humanities from Bob Jones University, and in 1999 he earned his Master of Divinity degree from the Master's Seminary in Sun Valley, California.  Months after graduating, he was called to be the Kahu, that is the Pastor or Shepherd, of Berean Bible Church in Hilo, Hawaii.
 

Kahu Daniel is passionate about theology and teaching God's truth to God's people.  It is his privilege to lift up the name of Jesus through the careful exposition of the Scripture at every church worship service.  Kahu's hobbies include playing soccer, hanging out with his family, reading Christian biographies and listening to Bible expositors on his iPod.
 

Kahu's wife Karen is an important part of the ministry.  Born in Mexico and reared in a missionary home, she discovered her need for salvation at an early age.  Her desire to serve the Lord in a ministry home has been fulfilled at her husband's side here at Berean Bible Church.  After college Karen worked as a school teacher but currently she is a "keeper at home"  homeschooling their two oldest children.   Kahu and Karen have been married since 1995 and have four children-Hoku, Timmy, Liana and Kekoa.
