“For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but (a Spirit) of power and love and self-control.”
2 Timothy 1:6-7 ESV

In this passage of scripture The Apostle Paul is encouraging and instructing his disciple Timothy not to be afraid of what he (Timothy) may have to endure for his faith in Jesus. And to remember what and Who lives with in him. (1 COR 3:16) 

The Spirit of God was living in Him, The One who has created all things and is called a Consuming Fire. (HEB 12:29)
Who has chosen us to be His vessels and dwelling place in the earth.
He who by His divine power was working in Paul’s life, Timothy’s life and now ours.
To take the burning light of The Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.
(ACTS 1:8)

(WEEK OF PRAYER AND FASTING)

Hello Beloved, I pray this update finds you in peace and in the love of God.

January began with a beautiful time of fanning to flame our faith as a church and preparing our bodies, minds, hearts and souls; for all that The Lord wanted to do in us and through us for 2025. We fasted and prayed for a week as a church, the type and length was your choice but as a community we set our face to seek God and pray. We prayed for America, Our Government, The Church and The World. It was a time of humbling ourselves before God seeking Him to heal the land and a time for us to be unified as The Body of Christ.

(MINISTRY OPPURTUNITITES)

God has also given me awesome ministry opportunities. Our Missions School was invited to several conferences where we setup a booth to stir others up for missions, and I was also invited to speak with a friend at a mission’s week at a Christian middle school.
The first conference was a Church Planting Conference to learn about biblical church planting. The second was an Expository Preaching Conference held by John Miller and Skip Heitzig. My favorite opportunity by far was the Missions Week at the Christian Middle School, me and my friend got to share about Southern Asia and The Great Commission, getting the next generation fired up for Jesus and the lost.

(Pray for L.A)

As many of you know L.A experienced one of the worst wildfires in its history, that evacuated over 200,000 people from their homes, that burned over 57,660 acres in total and destroyed 16,000 structures in counting and took 29 lives. It is very tragic.
The area I live in was not affected, but I was able to join a relief team hosted by Calvary Chapel Monrovia. We went into the affected areas and ministered with food and supplies to emergency responder’s and people in the community who stayed with their property. The fires are 100% contained, but prayers are still desperately needed for the restoration of and healing of the communities.

As sad as it was to see, it was a sobering reminder of the fate of this world. The first time God judged The Sin of the earth it was with water; the second time will be with fire. (2 PET 3:7) All of our homes, money, “treasures “all of it will be destroyed.
I spoke to one man who lived in the affected area and managed to save his home.
I asked him “if he knew Jesus? “
and after conversing a bit I realized he didn’t. And the sad reality set in. This man was able to save his temporary home… but if he died that day his eternal soul would’ve been destroyed in the fire that can’t be quenched. (MARK 8:36)

We must tell the world about Jesus, for there is salvation in no one and nothing else.

Prayer Requests:

• That God would save thousands upon thousands of Children, Women and Men across the world

• That God would reveal where He would have me serve long-term
• For my walk with Jesus to remain intimate and that I would abide in Him
