A Heart for God International Ministries

25/10/2026

🎉💜 53 YEARS OF LIFE! 6 YEARS OF PASTORAL LEADERSHIP! 6 YEARS OF MINISTRY! 💜🎉

THUS FAR, THE LORD HAS INDEED HELPED US! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Tomorrow, October 25th, marks not only my 53rd Birthday, but also SIX YEARS of serving as Senior Pastor of A Heart for God International Ministries and six years since the establishment of this ministry!

What a journey of faith, sacrifice, obedience, growth, and unwavering trust in God! Through every victory, challenge, season of stretching, and moment of uncertainty, GOD HAS REMAINED FAITHFUL!

What makes this milestone even more significant to me is that we are celebrating our sixth anniversary in the Hebrew year 5787, the Year of the Zayin, having just transitioned from 5786, the Year of the Vav!

The Hebrew letter Vav (ו) is the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and carries the meaning of a hook or connection. It is often associated with joining, linking, and bringing things together.

How profound that our ministry has completed SIX YEARS, and we have just come through the Year of the Vav!

I see this as a prophetic reminder that WHAT GOD HAS ESTABLISHED, HE IS CALLING US TO REMAIN CONNECTED TO—HIS PRESENCE, HIS PURPOSE, HIS WORD, AND HIS ASSIGNMENT!

In lieu of our traditional anniversary celebration this year, I encouraged our ministry family to REST, RESET, REFLECT, AND COUNT THE COST!

Because before we move into the NEXT, we must examine what we’re connected to, what we must release, and what greater obedience will be required of us!

WE ARE NOT JUST CELEBRATING SIX YEARS OF EXISTENCE; WE ARE PREPARING FOR A GREATER MEASURE OF KINGDOM RESPONSIBILITY!

As I celebrate 53 years of life and we prepare to enter our seventh year of ministry, I am reminded that THE NEXT IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE WAITING FOR—THE NEXT IS NOW! 🔥

To our ministry family, friends, and supporters, Brother Lucas and I thank you wholeheartedly for your love, faithfulness, prayers, and sacrifices!

THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

SIX YEARS ESTABLISHED FOR NATIONS & GENERATIONS!

And after this season of resting, resetting, reflecting, and counting the cost…

IT’S GO TIME! 🔥🔥🔥

TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!

A Heart for God International Ministries is raising up and releasing laborers into the harvest.

Several years ago, the Holy Spirit spoke these words to me: “Let them grow, and when the time is right, let them go.” Today, we rejoice as we continue to answer that call by entrusting greater Kingdom assignments to Elder Juante Wright and Prophetess Takeethia Boddie Barnes.

Please keep these faithful servants in your prayers as they continue to answer God’s call.

🕊️ NOTICE TO OUR COMMUNITY 🕊️

There will be no Sunday Worship Service on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at A Heart for God International Ministries.

Instead, our church family will gather to attend the Homegoing Celebration of our beloved sister, Minister Renee Nicole Foreman Barnes.

I have the sacred honor of delivering the eulogy during the 2:00 p.m. service as we celebrate a life marked by faithfulness, perseverance, and unwavering trust in God.

Please keep Minister Barnes' family, friends, and loved ones in your prayers. We also ask for your prayers as we minister to her family and say our earthly goodbyes to a dear sister whose presence blessed our ministry for many years.

Though we mourn her absence, we rejoice in knowing that she is now fully healed and resting in the presence of the Lord she faithfully served.

"Well done, thou good and faithful servant." — Matthew 25:21

When I tell you that the disciples of A Heart for God International Ministries are faithful and diligent, please believe me.

Just take a look at a few of the upcoming events and initiatives taking place within our ministry family:

✨ Yard Sale Fundraiser
✨ Raffle Fundraiser
✨ Praise & Paint Fundraiser
✨ Pastor’s Aide Service

These events don’t happen by themselves. They are the result of dedicated disciples, faithful volunteers, committed leaders, and servants who consistently give of their time, talents, prayers, and resources to help advance the vision God has entrusted to this ministry.

We’re not just building programs; we’re building people. We’re not just hosting events; we’re impacting lives. We’re not just gathering; we’re making disciples.

Don’t watch us build. Help us build.

Together, we can continue to reach souls, feed families, equip believers, and advance the Kingdom of God.

With gratitude,
