In Philippians 1:27, Paul challenges believers to live as “citizens of heaven” who are “standing firm in one spirit, in one accord, contending together for the faith of the gospel.” This verse perfectly captures what it means for Hawaii Pacific Baptists to contend together across our islands and throughout the Pacific region.
When we contend together, we unite with a common purpose that transcends individual churches and personal preferences. We stand shoulder to shoulder, supporting one another in the great work of advancing the Gospel from Hawaii to Guam, from American Samoa to the Philippines, and throughout Asia.
Your partnership through the Sue Nishikawa Offering demonstrates this spirit of contending together. Every gift, whether large or small, joins with others to create a powerful force for Kingdom work. Together, we support church plants that are reaching military families, fund scholarships for future ministry leaders, and provide resources that help struggling churches find new life.
This week, we invite you to see how your prayers and gifts enable Hawaii Pacific Baptists to contend together in powerful ways. You’ll witness churches finding renewal, students encountering Christ on university campuses, and new congregations taking root in communities that desperately need the Gospel.
When we pray together during this special week, we align our hearts with God’s mission. When we give together through this offering, we pool our resources to accomplish far more than any single church could achieve alone. This is a beautiful picture of the body of Christ working in harmony.
As you begin this week of prayer, ask God to open your eyes to see the incredible work He is accomplishing through Hawaii Pacific Baptists who are contending together. Let your heart be stirred by the stories of transformation and growth happening across our region. And consider how God might use your prayers and generosity to strengthen this vital work of advancing His Kingdom throughout Hawaii, the Pacific, and Asia.
Prayer Focus:
- Pray for unity among HPBC churches across all regions
- Pray for a spirit of generosity during this week of giving
- Pray for God’s blessing on ministries supported by this offering
- Pray for hearts to be stirred by the stories you’ll hear this week
