We are serious
about equipping people for ministry
Our vision is to Impact Kauai and Beyond for the Kingdom.We know that in order to experience a sustainable Discipleship Movement, we must be constantly be equipping the Body of Christ to seize their destiny and respond to the Father’s Call.The Biblical Training Track of the Kauai Island Training Institute exists to prepare those who desire to make an Impact for the Kingdom on Kauai, in Hawaii, throughout the Pacific Rim and Beyond.
Ephesians 4:11-16And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be child ren, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
