Meeting human needs in Jesus' name
Baptists on Mission is in partnership with the Hawaii-Pacific Baptist Convention since 2006. For most of this time, volunteers have been helping at the Baptist Conference Center on the island of Oahu. The conference center is a major ministry resource for Hawaii Baptist congregations, training their members for ministry, and ministering to children and youth during the summer. Other requests from Hawaii congregations may include VBS, backyard Bible clubs, music, sports, construction, and more. The Hawaiian Islands have long been the “gateway” to the US for many coming from East Asia. Please be in prayer about how you and your church may assist in reaching Hawaii for Christ.
