What if a “reset” of our men’s and ladies’ ministries could help us become even more intentional about making disciples?
Pastor Kris Wilder shares the four “why’s” and three “how’s” behind Friendship’s ministry vision—and how Bible studies, retreats/outreaches, and prayer breakfasts can help us build a culture of disciple-making.
Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, we remember where we were, the lives lost, the heroes who responded, and the church doors that opened—but have we forgotten what that day revealed about our broken world and our need for God?
As we reflect this year, may we also remember that no human effort can create lasting peace; our hope is found in Jesus Christ alone, the Victor over sin, death, and the grave.
What began with a calling to Ireland ultimately led to Australia, teaching missionaries Deon and Michelle Rensburg that closed doors can be divine direction and waiting can be preparation.
Read their encouraging story through Deon’s eyes as they learned to trust God’s perfect timing—even when His plan looks quite different than ours.
Warned that Hawaii Kai was a “church planting graveyard,” Pastor Rafael Soto and his family faithfully followed God’s call—and nearly 10 years later, Kai Point Baptist Church stands as a testimony to God’s faithfulness.

Through simple, attainable goals and a Christ-centered perspective, mothers can find joy and purpose in the beautiful, unfinished work of raising their children.
About a year and a half ago, Pastor Kris Wilder received a guitar. As he began learning to play, he quickly discovered something: if he didn’t regularly tune it, it would drift out of tune.
In the same way, Hebrews 2:1 warns us that our hearts drift away from the gospel through neglect.
When your soul feels dry and distant, God’s Word is the steady rain that brings life, even when you don’t feel it.
There is faithful refreshment to be found in Scripture during seasons of spiritual drought.
The hands of Jesus that once healed and comforted were the same hands pierced on the cross for our redemption.
As we prepare for Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, we reflect on His sacrifice, His victory, and His hands still reaching out to give new life.
I love to read because I love to learn.
It is extremely satisfying to me when I come across a fresh idea or a new way of looking at things. It is
entertaining
challenging
a source of my personal growth
and it increases my connection with people.
In 2025, I set a goal of reading 45 books. In late December, I finished my 53rd book, meaning I truly finished a book a week.
