"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds." (James 1:2)

Woman's Missionary Union Missions (WMU) - Celebration 2025

Every year in Hawaii, we host the Woman's Missionary Union (WMU) missions celebration. It's a special day when we all gather to fellowship and hear stories from the field. This year's WMU Mission Celebration will be on Saturday, April 26, 2025. The theme will be Count It All Joy as we reflect on the true joy that comes from knowing Jesus. The keynote speaker will be Connie Dixon, WMU National President and Denise DeLeon Clymer, New Mexico WMU President among other testimonies from ministry leaders. This special day is a celebration of the many ways the Lord is moving throughout our state, country, and the world. Registration and details will be available in March.

The missions celebration is coordinated and planned by Ten Jocson, Hawaii WMU President, and Diana Ventura, Women's Ministry Director & Hawaii WMU Executive Director.

About WMU: WMU is our national partner that reminds and encourages us to be intentional and fervent in praying for our missionaries. Praying through a monthly calendar over missionaries on their birthday. To give towards missions through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, and to the Sue Nishikawa Offering for Hawaii Pacific Missions.

Together we can be kingdom minded by supporting each other. Missionary stories from the past and present are evidence of how God is moving throughout the nations and in our own backyard. It allows us to see the gospel moving on the ground internationally, nationally, and locally.
