Would you like to explore ways to lead your church to reach not only your community but the nations, with the hope of the gospel?
On February 24-26, 2022, HPBC will host the International Mission Board‘s Drs. Hal Cunnyngham and Amanda Dimperio to offer a three-day training, 8 Steps of the Missions Continuum. The training will take place on Oahu at the Ala Moana Hotel conference area. This training is only offered in person.
Scholarships will be made available for HPBC pastors with assistance provided for neighbor island pastors for travel and lodging. This is made possible by a grant from the North American Mission Board.
