Please note that this report offers only a brief snapshot of my year in review. It does not encompass the weekly leadership Zoom meetings I conduct, impacting hundreds of leaders globally, nor does it include the numerous times preaching in my local church, mentoring leaders, and engaging in personal ministry. These unseen but vital moments form the foundation of my ministry and serve as a constant reminder that true impact often happens away from the spotlight, in the day-to-day faithfulness of equipping and serving others for God’s glory.

National Podcast Appearance

I had the privilege of being a guest on Eric Gilmour’s podcast to discuss my book, “Poisonous Power.” It was an incredible opportunity to explore how Jesus exemplifies the “unleader” model, starkly contrasting the constructs of contemporary leadership. Together, we delved into how pastors are called to live “cross-shaped” lives, reflecting Christ’s humility and sacrificial love. Eric expressed great enthusiasm and has already invited me to return in the future.

January 19–20, 2024 | AI Summit, Victory Church, Calgary, Canada

At the AI Summit hosted by Victory Church, alongside Chad Reyes and Elijah Low, I taught two sessions on the societal impact of Christianity over the past 2,000 years. The focus was on inspiring believers to shift from fear to faith, empowering the Church to lead in shaping AI for good rather than allowing it to become a tool for harm. 

Chad and Elijah delivered outstanding sessions, which resonated powerfully with attendees. The summit sparked significant momentum, and discussions are underway to bring similar events to other major Canadian cities. Many thanks to Dr. Phil Nadine, an apostolic ambassador whose influence opened countless doors for our team in Canada. It’s exciting to see God opening the way for national transformation!

January 21, 2024 | Victory Church, Calgary

I was honored to preach to nearly 1,000 people at Victory Church, led by Pastor Craig Buroker. This vibrant church is making a remarkable impact in its community and beyond.

January 27, 2024 | Nation Builders Church, Staten Island, New York

I taught the leaders of the two campuses of Nation Builders Church, a thriving congregation under the leadership of Pastor Carlos Gimenez and his wife, Lissette. The first session focused on “Understanding the Corporate Son,” emphasizing the Church as the body of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. The second session addressed the importance of the first fruit offering. God’s grace was evident as faith rose within the leadership to believe in $100,000 to support our upcoming event, Adora America, set for July 5 at Madison Square Garden.

January 28, 2024 | Sunday Service, Nation Builders Church

I preached “The Church as the First Fruits of God,” based on Ephesians 1. The Spirit of God moved powerfully, deeply encouraging the congregation. The response was overwhelming. 85% of the attendees came forward to dedicate their lives to God and present their first fruit offering for the new year. It was a privilege to minister at such a pivotal moment in the life of this great church. I thank God for the opportunity to serve His people and witness their faith and dedication!

This month has been a testament to God’s faithfulness as He continues to open doors for ministry and transformation. I’m deeply grateful for all He has done and look forward to seeing the seeds planted bear fruit in the months ahead!

February 24 – 29 | Brasília

February 25 (Morning & Evening Services)

In the morning, I preached at Ocean of Grace Church with Pastor Sinval on the topic, “Which Tree Are You?” I illustrated how the two trees in Eden represent two categories of humanity—those who draw wisdom from God versus those who rely on the world.

I ministered at The Community of the Nations Church in the evening on the same topic. Nearly 1,000 people attended each service, and many testified that their eyes were opened to the patterns and principles of Scripture.

February 26 (General Session)

I delivered Part 1 of my message, “How Spiritual Leaders Function as the Stars of Heaven,” connecting the stars in Genesis 1 with the angelic hosts and the stars/bishops of Revelation 1. This teaching brought a new dimension of biblical interpretation to many apostolic leaders.

February 27 (Evening Session)

I taught on “The Earth as a Cosmic Temple,” showing how God’s presence filled earthly temples only when all parts were connected. Leaders expressed a renewed commitment to work together as apostolic coalitions to transform Brazil.

February 28 (Chaplain Service at the Federal Senate)

March 2–3 – Porto Alegre

At an apostolic event hosted by Ricardo Wagner, I taught three sessions:

“Contrasting Denominations and Apostolic Movements”

March 20–24 — France Ministry Trip

Thursday–Saturday: Leadership Retreat in Sète

Over three impactful days, I taught 10 sessions to 100 leaders from five apostolic networks united under the “RNC” umbrella, led by Apostle Jean-Marc Ponte. Jean-Marc is an extraordinary leader whose humility and wisdom have fostered a culture of community and collaboration. His ability to bring diverse apostolic teams together is remarkable, and it was an honor to pour into this promising French movement.

This retreat was a time of teaching and an opportunity to witness their commitment to raising the next generation of apostolic leaders. The culture of humility and unity they have cultivated is a powerful foundation for sustainable growth.

I taught six sessions from the book of Ephesians, unpacking its timeless truths, one session on the various views of Revelation and eschatology, one on how the glory of God is released through unity, and another on building a generational church.

The response was extraordinary. The leaders expressed deep gratitude for the new paradigms of biblical interpretation introduced—approaches rooted in apostolic and early church practices yet profoundly relevant to their current context. The hunger for ongoing dialogue and learning was evident, and I am confident these teachings will equip them to advance God’s kingdom in France and beyond.

Sunday: The Key Church, Montpellier

On Sunday, I ministered at The Key Church, led by Pastor Rodrigue Sacramento, in Montpellier. For an hour, I taught “The Impact of Christianity on Western Civilization,” highlighting historical examples, including the profound influence of the French Church and the Huguenots.

The congregation was greatly encouraged and inspired to spark a Christian Renaissance in their community and nation. One church member, who has connections with the mayor of Montpellier, expressed a desire to share this teaching with him, believing it could open doors for the Church to have a greater impact in the city. This could be a significant opportunity for the Church to influence civic leadership with a clear understanding of its purpose in society.

New Publishing Opportunities

During the retreat in Sète, I connected with a publisher who distributes books in French across all 46 French-speaking nations. He expressed a desire to translate and publish my articles and, eventually, my books. This opens a new door to impact the French-speaking world with teachings that will strengthen the Church and equip leaders globally.

Representing ICAL and Papa John Kelly

On this trip, it was an honor to represent Papa John Kelly and ICAL (International Coalition of Apostolic Leaders) as their international ambassador. By God’s grace, I look forward to continuing to serve alongside the ICAL team to build a global network that empowers leaders to transform cities and nations for Christ.

This trip was pivotal for building relationships, equipping leaders, and creating opportunities for long-term impact in France and beyond. I thank God for the privilege of investing in such a strategic movement, and I am excited to see how the seeds planted will bear fruit for His kingdom.

July Ministry Report

July 5: Adora America Gathering, Madison Square Garden

Friday, July 5, marked one of New York City’s most extraordinary Christian events—Adora America at Madison Square Garden. This groundbreaking event, spearheaded by Hispanic leaders in NYC, was a multi-ethnic gathering designed to break the spirit of poverty over the Spanish church in America.

The founder, Pastor Carlos Jimenez, displayed extraordinary faith, believing in God for financial provision. Remarkably, over half a million dollars was raised, and Madison Square Garden was fully paid off just two days before the event—a feat that is almost unheard of.

The worship team and choir, composed of dozens of churches and numerous pastors, led powerful moments of worship and prayer. Alongside Carlos Jimenez, A.R. Bernard, Ben Paz, several leaders, and myself, we exhorted the crowd with messages of faith and unity. God gave me the grace to teach the significance of the Corporate Son, explaining how the Church must mature as the sons of God.

This kairos moment was a divine catalyst for greater unity and collaboration among key leaders, pastors, and churches across New York City. It was an honor to serve alongside such outstanding leaders like Carlos Jimenez and Ben Paz, and I am confident this event will leave a lasting impact on the city.



July 14: Words of Life Church, Bronx, NY

On Sunday, July 14, I ministered at Words of Life Church, one of the largest Latino churches in New York City, under the leadership of my dear friend, Pastor Ben Paz.

I preached in two packed services, each with over 700 attendees, on “The Traits of an Apostolic Church” based on the book of Acts. God moved powerfully in both services as I shared several key traits of an apostolic church and released prophetic words over the congregation.

In the second service, there was a strong move of God that galvanized volunteers, igniting a renewed passion for service.Many committed themselves to expanding the church’s capacity to plant more churches and extend its impact beyond the Bronx!

I am deeply grateful for my friendship with Pastor Ben Paz and his leadership. I believe Words of Life Church is positioned for exponential growth in the next 5–10 years, with a global impact that will reflect God’s glory.

Reflections

July was a month of monumental gatherings and Spirit-led moments. From the historic Adora America at Madison Square Garden to the powerful services at Words of Life Church, God is clearly at work uniting and expanding His Church in New York City. I am honored to serve during this pivotal season and look forward to seeing the fruits of these efforts in the months and years ahead.

August Ministry Report

Rwanda Ministry: Arise Africa Conference (August 9–11)

I had the incredible honor of ministering at the Arise Africa Conference, hosted by Apostle Paul Gitwaza, one of the most influential leaders in Rwanda. Apostle Gitwaza oversees Zion Temple, a ministry with over 50 campuses in Rwanda and likely more than 100 churches worldwide. This significant gathering drew several thousand attendees, including hundreds of pastors and bishops across Africa.

Although I was initially scheduled to speak three times, unforeseen travel delays caused me to miss my Monday flight. After a six-hour delay with Delta Airlines, I finally arrived on Wednesday night, just in time to minister at their revival meeting on Thursday, August 9.

Thursday Night: Revival Meeting

God placed a complex but timely word on my heart to preach on “Understanding the Representative Government of the Kingdom.” Drawing from the final chapter of my forthcoming book, Union: Vertical Encounter, Horizontal Impact, I expounded on how the Kingdom of God is designed to transform cities and nations.

The message required precise translation, and in 60 minutes, God gave me great grace to deliver a powerful teaching. Many bishops and pastors approached me afterward, expressing how deeply the word had impacted them. They shared how the principles I taught provided a fresh perspective on Kingdom governance and inspired them to envision greater transformation in their regions.

Saturday Morning, August 10: Youth Arise Conference

On Saturday morning, August 10, I had the incredible privilege of teaching approximately 1,000 young adults at the Youth Arise Conference, part of the larger Arise Africa gathering. My focus was on “The Kingdom of God” and how young leaders can partner with Jesus in the transformation of Africa.

God moved mightily as I shared the vision of the Kingdom—its power to bring renewal, justice, and unity. The atmosphere was charged with faith and anticipation. At the end of the session, hundreds of young adults responded to the call for prayer, committing themselves to be agents of change in their families, communities, and nations.

The response was nothing short of extraordinary. It was a profound moment of surrender and commissioning as these young leaders stepped forward with a desire to participate in God’s redemptive work across Africa.

Reflections

The Youth Arise session was a highlight of my time at the Arise Africa Conference. Seeing such passion and hunger for God among the next generation of leaders was deeply encouraging. I believe this moment marked a turning point for many of these young adults, equipping them to bring the Kingdom of God to every sphere of society.

Africa is on the cusp of a spiritual and cultural renaissance, and I am honored to play a small role in empowering its future leaders to transform their continent for Christ.

The Arise Africa Conference has been a testament to the hunger for Kingdom principles in Rwanda and beyond. Despite travel challenges, God orchestrated divine moments for ministry, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to speak into the lives of Africa’s current and emerging leaders. I look forward to seeing how the seeds planted during this conference will bear fruit.

Exciting News: Union: Vertical Encounter, Horizontal Impact Released!

On August 18, I celebrated the release of my latest book, Union: Vertical Encounter, Horizontal Impact! This book has been a labor of love, born from years of preaching and teaching the profound truths of Jesus’ prayer in John 17.

In this pivotal prayer, Jesus expressed His heart for oneness—not just superficial unity among believers but a oneness rooted in our vertical connection with God and reflected in our horizontal relationships with others. This book unpacks this prayer’s deep theological and practical implications, showing how living in union with God and one another is the key to transforming our communities and reaching the world for Christ.

Union provides a roadmap for believers and leaders eager to see the Church fulfill its mission as Jesus envisioned—a Church united in love, purpose, and impact.

I am thrilled to share this work finally, and I pray it will inspire and equip individuals, churches, and movements to embody the oneness that releases the glory of God to the world. This is more than a book; it’s a call to action for every follower of Christ to live out the transformative power of His Kingdom!

The message inspired attendees to shift from fear to faith and use AI to influence the world for Christ.

The hunger and spiritual openness in the room were palpable, thanks to the prayerful leadership of Pastor John and Dan Hammer.

Communidad Christian Church: Elizabeth, NJ (September 29)

On Sunday, September 29, I ministered at Communidad Christian Church, led by Pastor Raul Burgos. The service focused on commissioning a marriage mentor couple, and I preached “How the Wedding Motif Is Connected to Salvation.”

I traced the biblical marriage stories (Isaac, Jacob, and Moses) to Jesus meeting the woman at the well, showing how she represents the Church meeting her perfect Bridegroom. The Spirit moved powerfully, and nearly half the congregation came forward to give or recommit their lives to Christ. Pastor Raul and his wife, Kareem, are doing incredible work nurturing marriages and families in their church.

Under Joyce’s leadership, the organization has helped countless students enter college through its College Bound program.

It is an honor to serve His global Church and witness the transformation of lives for His glory.

God gave me great grace to present these concepts, challenging the leaders to think deeply about their roles in shaping culture through their faith. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many wanting to bring me back for an AI Summit and further discussions.

I am so grateful for the humility and dedication of leaders like Thomas and Rachel Hare, Jim and Nancy Surace, Bruce Jentner, and David Cook, who are all doing phenomenal work for the Kingdom.

Highlights:

70 Leaders from across our network expounded each verse of Psalm 23, delivering profound, unique insights.

This retreat was a testament to the beauty of doing life with a family of leaders. Each person’s contribution brought a unique perspective, and the shared wisdom enriched us all. I am so grateful for what God is doing through this incredible coalition!

Freeport Bible Center’s 38th Anniversary – October 26–27

I was honored to minister at the Freeport Bible Center’s 38th Anniversary celebration, led by Apostle Luis Vargas, to several hundred pastors, leaders, and attendees.

Over two sessions, I spoke on “How to Rebuild Civilization in Christ.” I provided biblical examples of how patriarchs like Abraham, Joseph, and Nehemiah served as types of Christ, stepping into the gap to rebuild nations and cities. I challenged the Church to take up the same mantle, being agents of transformation in their communities.

On Saturday morning, the Spirit of God moved powerfully. After the session, nearly everyone came forward for prayer, committing themselves to be agents of change in their cities. It was a profound moment, and I thank God for the extraordinary work Apostle Luis Vargas is doing, not only in Long Island but also in many nations around the world.

Reflections

October was a month of rich ministry opportunities and divine encounters. From casting a vision for cultural transformation with marketplace leaders in Cleveland to celebrating 25 years of CCC’s impact and empowering the Church to rebuild its communities, God has been moving in powerful ways.

I am humbled to be part of such a global and transformative work, and I look forward to seeing how these seeds planted will bear fruit for the Kingdom in the months and years to come!

November Ministry Report

Mississippi Ministry with Pastors Greg and Irene McGee (November 1–2)

I was privileged to minister at Empowerment Church in Gulfport, Mississippi, led by Pastors Greg and Irene McGee. Over Friday evening and Saturday morning, I spoke to nearly 100 leaders from their church and the local community.

Friday Evening: I taught “How to Properly Release Prophetic Ministry in the Church.” God gave me the grace to address critical issues in prophetic ministry that helped bring clarity and order, greatly aiding pastors and leaders seeking to steward this gift in a biblical and impactful way.

Saturday Morning: My session focused on “Shifting from a Pastoral to an Apostolic Wineskin.” This teaching provided insight for pastors on how to transition their ministries to have a greater regional impact, shifting from maintenance-focused to mission-driven leadership.

The feedback was overwhelming, with many pastors sharing how these teachings would transform their approach to ministry. As a result, I’ve been invited to host a similar conference in Alabama in July 2025. It was a joy to witness Greg and Irene’s incredible work, and I am excited to welcome them into the Christ Covenant Coalition (CCC) family!

ICAL Annual Gathering, Dallas, TX (November 11–15)

I had an incredible time at the annual International Coalition of Apostolic Leaders (ICAL) gathering in Dallas, where 350 leaders of movements converged, representing dozens of nations and all continents.

I had the honor of ministering on “Understanding Representative Authority.” God granted me great grace to deliver insights from Scripture that many leaders shared they had never heard before. This teaching challenged their leadership, discipleship, and cultural transformation paradigms, sparking deep discussions on how to advance Kingdom principles in their respective nations.

It was a joy to reconnect with Papa John Kelly and the ICAL global family, and I look forward to participating in this extraordinary gathering again next year!

Latin America Leadership Zoom with Gustavo Lara’s UNGE Network (November 27)

On Wednesday evening, November 27, I conducted a Zoom session with 100 movement leaders from Latin America through my dear friend Gustavo Lara and his UNGE network.

I taught on “Models of the Church: From Jerusalem to Antioch.” The session was highly practical, providing leaders with a biblical framework for understanding how different church models can operate effectively within their unique contexts. The feedback was deeply encouraging, with many leaders requesting ongoing teachings to help guide their movements in the coming months.

Reflections

November was a month of profound ministry moments, from equipping leaders in Mississippi to engaging with global apostolic leaders at ICAL and sowing into the Latin American Church through UNGE. I am continually amazed at how God is opening doors to influence leaders and movements worldwide.

Partnering with these incredible leaders and witnessing the Holy Spirit transform lives, churches, and communities for His glory is a privilege!

December ministry report 

December 15: The Flow Kingdom Ministries, Fishkill, NY

I was honored to minister at The Flow Kingdom Ministries with my dear friend Dr. Israel Peña. God gave me a powerful word to share on “John’s Vision of the Glorified Christ” from Revelation 1.

I expounded on the imagery of Jesus’ high priestly attire, contrasting it with the high priest’s garments in Exodus 28. I showed how the Old Testament tabernacle and its elements were types and shadows, pointing to Jesus as the ultimate High Priest.

What made this message extraordinary was the divine confirmation that unfolded as I preached. Unknown to me, the church had recently set up a simulation of the Tabernacle’s key elements on the stage. As I moved between the pieces during my sermon, it became a visual aid for the prophetic word, further solidifying the message in the hearts of those present.

Dr. Peña and the congregation were in awe of how God orchestrated this moment. The Spirit moved mightily, bringing revelation and a fresh vision of Jesus’ role as our High Priest.

December 22: Comunidad Christian Church, NJ

On Sunday, December 22, I ministered at Communidad Christian Church in New Jersey, teaching “ when Jesus visits his church.”

God’s presence was tangible as I shared the power of seeing Jesus in His exalted, victorious role, examining the church as illustrated in Revelation 2 and 3. The Word touched the hearts of the hundreds in attendance, and at the end of the service, many came forward for prayer to recommit their lives to Christ. It was a beautiful moment of rededication and surrender to the Lord, reminding us of His glory and supremacy.

Reflections

December closed the year with moments of divine orchestration and powerful ministry. From the prophetic confirmation at The Flow Kingdom Ministries to the Spirit-led recommitments at Communidad Christian Church, I was reminded of the faithfulness of God to reveal His glory and draw His people closer to Him.

It is an honor to serve His Church and see lives transformed through the power of the Word. I am deeply grateful for this year’s opportunities to share the Gospel and equip leaders and believers for Kingdom impact, and I greatly anticipate what God will do in 2025!
