Changed Lives Open School Doors in Tucson — Fall 2025

A clear highlight of the season was our Annual Bible Conference in June - an unforgettable week of anointed preaching, rich fellowship, and fresh vision from God. Pastors, missionaries, pioneers, and disciples from across the globe gathered with the purpose of hearing God’s voice and responding to His call. h in San Antonio, Texas

On Thursday and Friday night, the atmosphere was electric. Seven new international churches were planted into Tanzania, the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, El Salvador, Quebec (Canada), and two new works in Mexico. Here at home, we launched domestic works into Boston, MA; Birmingham, AL; Cincinnati, OH; Kearns, UT; and Dallas, TX.

But it wasn’t just new works - God is also moving leaders into fresh callings. Our faithful Door Directors, Eddie and Susanna Gutierrez, after five years of exemplary leadership over AO (our University of Arizona campus ministry), have answered the call to pioneer in Dallas/Fort Worth. Stepping into their role at AO are Pastors David and Raquel Ajala, whose vision for youth has been proven through their leadership of Ignite, our high school and junior high ministry.

Taking the torch for Ignite are Pastors Curtis and Rosa Burton, returning from fruitful pastoring in Columbus, Ohio. And in another exciting chapter, German and Dora Gastelum are coming home to serve in our Spanish ministry after pioneering a thriving work in Cúcuta, Colombia - a church now being handed over to Armando and Maribel Peralta.

It has been a summer of harvest. In just two months, we held two baptism services, where 57 people publicly declared their commitment to follow Christ. The testimonies were outstanding - one man, a lifelong Buddhist who had never heard of Jesus, shared how God visited him through two supernatural dreams, awakening him to his desperate need for a Savior. That is the power of the Gospel!

In August, Pastor Warner brought a stirring challenge: to step out courageously and engage in “Jesus Convos” - intentional, Spirit-inspired conversations that plant the seed of the Gospel in the hearts of those around us. We believe these “convos” will lead to an abundant harvest of souls for the Kingdom.

As we look ahead, we’re reminded that as laborers in God’s field, whether sending out workers across oceans or speaking life to a neighbor across the street, each step of faith advances the Kingdom.
