H.K.W.H.T.A. – Jim Hoehn, Recently retired President of the Kansas-Nebraska Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
“Unfortunately, many of our churches are 2 ½ hours a week from extinction!”
— Jim Hoehn, Recently retired President of the Kansas-Nebraska Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, several years ago. He was concerned with the emphasis on Sabbath morning activities only, with a neglect by pastors and church leaders of visitation, small groups, church social activities, Pathfinders, Youth groups, and Bible studies. As a result, many churches were headed for extinction unless pastors and church leaders began investing themselves in these other church life activities. With his call to action, many pastors and churches reversed the negative trend. He Knew What He was Talking About (H.K.W.H.T.A.)
