“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11
As I reflect on 2025, my heart is full of gratitude for God’s faithfulness. Every door opened, every community impacted, and every moment of growth has been a clear reminder that this ministry is sustained by His grace alone. I’m excited not just to look back, but to share the vision He is placing ahead for what’s next.
A Year of Growth and Service
This year has been a testimony of God’s abundance. Through prayer, support, and obedience, we’ve seen outreach expand and impact deepen in ways that could only be attributed to His hand.
God has continually brought the right people, resources, and timing together—building something far beyond individual effort. What began as simple obedience has grown into meaningful moments of service, connection, and impact.
Milestones That Shaped the Journey
At the Corona ReaderCon at the Corona Public Library, I had the opportunity to be one of 66 participating authors on September 28, 2025. The day included panels, conversations, and story-sharing with families and readers.
What stood out most was not just the event itself, but the open doors to share Jesus in a space that wasn’t explicitly faith-based. I saw God draw people to the table, spark conversations with parents, and encourage believers who didn’t expect to encounter faith there.
The “Filled” Art Pop-Up was a five-day creative experience inspired by Exodus 31—where God fills people with His Spirit to create for His purpose.
This free, community-driven event featured Christian artists, panel discussions, and workshops centered around creativity and faith in the Greater Echo Park–Elysian area of Los Angeles.
I had the privilege of curating and hosting this gathering, bringing together seven Christian artists from Spain, Tennessee, San Diego, Pennsylvania, Santa Rosa, and beyond. Many left encouraged, strengthened, and confirmed in what God was already speaking to them. It became a moment of encouragement, creativity, passing the torch and spiritual alignment.
Little Neighborhood Libraries
Last year, over 200 books were distributed to little neighborhood libraries. This year, that continued with more than 50 books placed in communities across Oklahoma, Arizona, Georgia, and California.
It’s a simple act, but one I believe carries lasting impact—God’s Word and encouragement being sown into neighborhoods, homes, and everyday spaces where people need hope.
At the Atlanta Pride Festival in Piedmont Park, I joined “Shock the Darkness,” an outreach initiative led by evangelist Phillip Renner. Over 40 evangelists were sent out in teams to share the Gospel.
Over three days in Atlanta, I had the opportunity to minister to many individuals and witness a powerful movement of hearts turning toward God. The outreach recorded 377 salvations, a reminder of God’s power to reach people in every environment.
Grad Bash was a partnership with USC’s InterVarsity Graduate Christian Fellowship, a community I’ve been part of since 2023, alongside LA-based apostolic worship leader 626authentic.
Together, by God’s grace, we gathered rap artists from LA, Idaho, and Atlanta, a hip-hop dance group, a live DJ, a $1,400 USC graduate-related giveaway, and a free photobooth for a powerful campus event fully funded by USC GSG—their largest seed into a faith-based gathering, totaling nearly $3,000.
It marked new ground at USC. I believe the seed that was sown will continue to produce a lasting harvest on campus and beyond.
For those who feel led to support quietly and directly, a private giving link is available. It remains “secret” not out of exclusivity, but simply to keep focus on God’s leading and provision rather than visibility.

Closing Gratitude
Through every season, God has remained faithful. Thank you to everyone who has prayed, supported, and partnered along the way. Your encouragement is deeply valued and part of every story being written through this ministry.
May this year be a year of continued obedience, deeper faith, and greater impact as we keep seeking Him first and serving others in His name.
