Guided by Pastor Wayne Cordeiro, Kipi embraced God’s call to become a church planter and now serves as the Senior Pastor at New Hope Kahului. Together with his wife, Jacy, they are proud parents to five children, whose ages range from 11 to 29.

In 2004, Kipi faced a life-altering event when 55% of his body suffered third-degree burns. Choosing faith over despair, he devoted his life to Jesus and has since been dedicated to living out God’s purpose with passion and perseverance.

Kipi’s journey of faith and resilience continues to inspire and lead the New Hope Kahului family.
