Hawaii-Pacific Acts 1:8 Conference

Acts 1:8 in Hawaii - Derrick Norris, left, pastor of Mililani Baptist Church; Sung Ho Kang of the Hawaii-Pacific Baptist Convention, center, and Tim Yarbrough, Acts 1:8 Challenge coordinator, at the block party held during the Acts 1:8 Glocal Mission Celebration.

Tim Yarbrough, Acts 1:8 Challenge coordinator with the North American Mission Board, had the privilege the past couple of days to be with more than 100 pastors and mission leaders attending the Acts 1:8 Glocal Mission Celebration hosted by the Hawaii-Pacific Baptist Convention.

The conference, held at Mililani Baptist Church, was co-sponsored by the Acts 1:8 Challenge and featured plenary and breakout sessions and an evening celebration service. Derrick Norris, pastor at Mililani, has led the church to a strong commitment to the Acts 1:8 Challenge.

Tim led a two-hour overview of the Acts 1:8 Challenge and an update on new tools available through the initiative.

Twelve people made professions of faith during a block party at Ewa Baptist Church on Saturday. What a wonderful testimony! The block party was held in conjunction with the conference.
