Pastors and churches are uniting across the islands to change the spiritual climate of the state of Hawaii. Individuals, businesses, schools and communities are being transformed through prayer evangelism.
The presence of God is invading all areas of the marketplace and it all began with simple but bold obedience and a daring declaration that Hawaii belongs to Jesus. The strategy that Transformation Hawai’i has adopted is to use the vehicle of prayer evangelism-taking the presence and the power of God into every sphere of influence at the personal, corporate and marketplace levels through prayer for the felt needs-to impact twelve “Gates” or key entry points to the islands:
* Arts/Performance
* Business/Professionals
* Churches
* Education
* Government/Political
* Hawaiian Community/Culture
* Homes/Communities
* Labor/Unions
* Media/Communications
* Military
* Non-profit
* Youth
