In Ephesians 6:18, the apostle Paul challenges us to “stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.” Would you “stay alert” and learn about the work that is going on? As you persevere in your ministry, would you intercede for all the saints serving Hawaii, the Pacific, and Asia?
From reaching our communities to next generation ministries, from theological and missions education to church planting, and so much more…you are advancing God’s kingdom through your faithful prayers and support of the Sue Nishikawa Offering for Hawaii Pacific Missions.
What is the Sue Nishikawa Offering?
The Sue Nishikawa Offering for Hawaii Pacific Missions supports the missions and ministries of Hawaii Pacific Baptist Convention churches. Every single dollar you give helps advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Hawaii, the Pacific, and Asia. Thank you for your faithful commitment and prayers. And as you give, consider how your church can request funds to enhance and strengthen your missions efforts. You are Hawaii Pacific Missions.
Join Us in a Week of Prayer
Matthew 28:18: ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.’” Jesus’ supreme authority is over all things. It is what equips and empowers us to do kingdom work where God has placed us today. He is at work and He invites us to join Him in reaching our islands. This week is the Sue Nishikawa Week of Prayer for Hawaii Missions. Let us join in prayer with unity and devotion.
Over the past year, Nasa and Caroline Sete have begun planting a church in Kahuku, building relationships and trusting God to establish gospel work. Pray for divine appointments, unity in their marriage, and wisdom as they homeschool their children.
Zeke and Layne Tomaselli serve at Waiakea Uka Bible Church in Hilo, where they are revitalizing the church, mentoring students through athletics, and engaging their community. Pray for opportunities to reach young people with the gospel and strengthen their local impact.
Christ’s authority is guiding Kona Baptist Church in faithful local and global missions through healthy leadership and partnerships. Pray Hawaii Pacific Baptist churches remain gospel-centered, joyfully making disciples and advancing the Great Commission among every nation.
Through your giving, more than 40 pastors attended the pastor’s retreat on Oahu for refreshment and renewal. Pray pastors and their families would be strengthened as they pursue healthy ministry, strong marriages, and intentional family life.
Pastor Mike and Monica Brennan have established a safe house for women escaping human trafficking while replanting a local church. Pray the women they serve find hope, healing, protection, and their true identity in Jesus Christ.
Advance training equips pastors and church leaders to strengthen churches through discipleship and evangelism. Your gifts provide scholarships for seminary and conferences. Pray these opportunities continue to equip and encourage Hawaii Pacific Baptists for faithful gospel ministry.
Thank you for praying and giving through the Sue Nishikawa Offering for Hawaii Pacific Missions. Together, let us stand united in Christ’s authority, partnering in prayer and mission to advance the Great Commission.
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.
