Happy New Year! 1st Quarter News

2 Peter 3:18, But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  To Him be glory both now and forever!  Amen.   

It is my great pleasure to welcome all of you to 2022 at Mililani Fil-Am Baptist Church.  I am so blessed to meet new friends at church lately.  Welcome to our friends from San Diego.   

I am excited because God has placed in our hearts a clear direction of where Mililani Fil-Am should be this year and the years to come.   

• Leadership development 
• Stable and expanded ministry for different age groups
• Strategic efforts on local and international mission
• Communicate and build a stronger membership base 

May I ask you to pray with us and ask you to be a part of the building of this and future generation that will reach Mililani, Oahu, and the rest of this world?   

All big dreams start with small steps.   My prayer is that this first quarter of 2022 that you will commit to at least three of these initiatives.   

1. Daily Bible Reading
2. Small Groups
3. Sunday School 
4. Weekly Sunday Attendance 
5. Membership
6. Tithes and Offering 

If you are able to put three checks above, congratulations.  If you are just starting, welcome aboard.  Simply click the link on any of those numbers and don't forget to share with someone the initiatives you have joined in.  

We pray for you always, 

Pastor Bong
