TXB Spotlight with David Whitehead

This month we are spotlighting Pastor David Whitehead at Connections Church in Kapolei, Hawaii! God is doing great things in Texas Baptists churches in our state and beyond!

Q: When and how did God call you to be a pastor?

A: The last thing I wanted to be was a pastor. But, five years out of college as I was advancing in the business world, God slowly and methodically convinced me over the next two years that He was calling me. He changed me from the inside out, to where I really wanted to be a Pastor for Him. Definitely a God-thing!

Q: What is God showing you in your spiritual walk right now and how can that help your church?

A: That during these days we are living in, I need to get even more personal with each person in my congregation.

“Know well the condition of your flock, and pay attention to your herds, for wealth is not forever; not even a crown lasts for all time.”  Proverbs 28:23 (HCSB)

I had always looked at this passage as being about managing my possessions well. God revealed that I need to consider this for the flock, the congregation, He’s called me to oversee.

Q: How can people pray for your church?

A: Connections Church is seeing a great deal of life-change. People are getting saved and baptized. Individuals and families are being transformed. We are a church of new believers dealing with new-believer issues. The most impactful being stepping out in faith on giving tithes and offerings. There is a sweet spirit in the church. We need seasoned, Godly leaders to help in all areas of church life. Thank you for praying for Connections Church in Kapolei, Hawaii
