Hawaii-Pacific

An initial list of Hawaii-Pacific projects for 2025 is available for prayerful consideration! Click here to see the current list of opportunities. And, check back often as we will be adding new projects as they come in over the next few weeks! 

Baptists on Mission is in partnership with the Hawaii-Pacific Baptist Convention. Volunteers have been helping at the Puu Kahea Baptist Conference Center on the island of Oahu. The conference center is a major ministry resource for Hawaii Baptist congregations, training their members for ministry, and ministering to children and youth during the summer. Other requests from Hawaii congregations may include VBS, backyard Bible clubs, music, sports, construction, and more. The Hawaiian Islands have long been the "gateway" to the US for many coming from East Asia. Please be in prayer about how you and your church may assist in reaching Hawaii for Christ.

Serving at Pu'U Kahea CONFERENCE CENTER

Couples are needed year-round to be volunteer staff at Pu'u Kahea Conference Center, helping to maintain the facility. Work may include housekeeping, general maintenance and cleaning, landscaping,  laundry, and other duties as needed. Volunteers work 5 days and are off 2 days per week. Individuals may also be considered, depending on housing availability. Need those who are self-starters,  in good physical condition and able to put in full day’s work. Volunteers will need to provide their own transportation to Hawaii.  PKCC can provide a vehicle for local transportation for days off but volunteers are responsible for gas.  A studio efficiency apartment is provided for the couple’s lodging. Volunteers will need to provide their own meals as the camp does not currently offer food services. If you might be interested in serving in this manner, please contact Mark Abernathy at 919-459-5607 or mabernathy@ncbaptist.org. 

Teams may also be needed to serve for one week at a time. Click here for more informaiton.
