HIM was born in a Greyhound bus in 1983.
Dan & Pam Chun, HIM co-founders
HIM began in 1983—long before smartphones and streaming—on a Greyhound bus during a summer journey through Israel. In that unlikely setting, God planted a simple but powerful vision: to bring believers together across denominations to be equipped, inspired, and built up as the Body of Christ. When Dan Chun shared that dream with a fellow traveler, Fr. Paul Henry, the response was clear: “Not if, but when.” That moment marked HIM’s first step—and its first breath.
Over the past 40 years, HIM has inspired and renewed generations of believers, helping them deepen their walk with Christ and carry that faith to others. The impact is measured not in numbers, but in lives transformed.
What does HIM do? We Worship, we offer Hope, and we provide Tools—bringing together the Body of Christ across traditions, cultures, and generations as one family in God’s grace. Everyone who has attended a HIM gathering has been a passenger on that original Greyhound bus. The journey has been long, faithful, and good—and Jesus has always been at the wheel. Best ride ever.
Mission
HIM exists to equip, unify, and encourage Christian leaders across denominational, racial, cultural and generational differences.
Our vehicles for getting there are seminars and conferences held in Hawaii. This means equipping pastors and church leaders, and also teachers, parents, youth, business leaders and community volunteers. We don’t need high profile positions to lead. We just need to use what God has given us where we are.
Statement of Faith
There is one God eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, Holy and inspired by God, of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
God the Father sent us his Son, Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, who was born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life. His death on the cross provided our redemption. He was bodily resurrected and ascended into heaven and has a present ministry of intercession for us. We look forward to His return in power and glory.
God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, every human needs God’s saving grace to end this alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through saving grace, trusting in Jesus Christ alone— not human effort — and must be received personally by repentance and faith.
The Holy Spirit is involved in the miracle of the conversion of an unbeliever and indwells believers, enabling them to live a Godly life. Among many offices, the Holy Spirit equips believers for personal growth for service to the church. The church’s role is to glorify God and serve those in need.
