Who is Sue Nishikawa?
SUE NISHIKAWA
Sue Nishikawa set an example for all Hawaii Pacific Baptists in the way she served Christ. After serving in local churches and at the Hawaii Baptist Convention, Sue was elected as the first executive secretary of the Hawaii Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) in 1954. After 26 years of state WMU work, Sue retired due to a stroke. However, she continued to serve in a variety of capacities until her death in 2004. The state missions offering was named for Sue in 1981. It is a fitting honor for a woman who had become Hawaii’s symbol of missions and ministry.
Enhance and Strengthen Your Church’s Missions Efforts
The purpose of the Sue Nishikawa Offering for Hawaii Pacific Missions is to encourage new work, establish missions, strengthen churches, and support ongoing missions. The offering is to promote a spirit of “OHANA” through awareness of missions needs and the sharing of results of those programs and institutions that have received funding.
