Why Hawaii?
Hawaii may be a luxurious vacation destination, but it is also part of the mission field. The diverse population and history of these islands make for highly contextualized evangelism even though it is within the United States. There are countless opportunities to work at Planting Hope Ministries property to build, and develop the land for ministry use and opportunities to spend time in local outreach through street ministry or within a local church. Children’s, youth (teen), and adult ministries of all kinds are needed.
What Would I Do In Hawaii?
The primary need with Planting Hope Ministries is skilled and unskilled labor. As we work to develop The House property we are looking to partner with teams of people who want to raise funds for a specified project, to fly out to the property and then invest time in that building project that will allow us to engage in ministry opportunities for the future. We are also looking for individuals who are interested in helping us clear the land, move rocks, mow grass, and invest time with our ministry partners as we do youth outreach, and pray.
