"Have you ever faced a situation so terrifying that it woke you from sleep in a cold sweat? That's exactly what happened to Pastor Teddy on our recent ministry tour."

Fred and Katie Kenney share a powerful testimony of God's peace during a harrowing mountain descent in North Carolina, where they experienced the real-world application of Philippians 4:6-7 in the face of genuine fear.

• Embarking on a Northeast tour with Plays on Word Theater
• Performing at Mountain Top Youth Camp in Pinnacle, NC
• Navigating a treacherous single-lane mountain road with a heavy trailer
• Experiencing overwhelming anxiety when faced with descending the steep mountain in rain
• Reaching out to church members for specific prayer
• Making the conscious choice to stand on God's Word despite fear
• Feeling supernatural peace and even physical "downward pressure" during the descent
• Learning the difference between believing in God versus believing God
• Understanding that God's promises aren't academic but practical for real-life situations
• Recognizing that anxiety is conquered through prayer and petition

"What happens when personal tragedy and transformation become the foundation for authentic ministry? James and Melissa Pinto's story answers this question with raw honesty and profound hope."

James and Melissa Pinto, of Trinity Tabernacle of Gravesend, Brooklyn, share their powerful testimonies of finding faith through personal tragedy and transformation. Their journey from congregants to church leaders reveals how God uses our darkest moments to prepare us for ministry and outreach.

• Melissa found faith at age 13 after losing her mother to illness, learning that "ultimate healing is heaven"
• James was saved in 1995 after witnessing his father's dramatic transformation from drug addiction through Christ
• The Pintos balance ministry and family life with eight children at home, emphasizing family as their primary ministry
• They prioritize rest and self-care through implementing lessons from the Thrive Leadership Foundation Retreat for Pastors
• Trinity Tabernacle celebrates 100 years of ministry, beginning as the first Italian Pentecostal church in Brooklyn
• Current focus includes community outreach and potential church planting in neighboring communities

Please pray for Trinity Tabernacle's upcoming outreach on September 6th at Lady Moody Triangle and their vision to plant a new church in a neighboring community.

"What happens when God uses a series of personal crises to redirect your path and purpose? Pastor Geoffrey Eckstein's continuing powerful testimony reveals just how God did it in his life."

Pastor Geoffrey Eckstein shares his transformative journey from pursuing business success to embracing God's call to ministry through a series of personal crises that led to complete surrender.

• The reward for obedience is deeper obedience - God gives us more opportunities to be faithful when we first respond to His call
• God is the only contractor who uses broken tools - our weaknesses showcase His power and glory
• Small deviations (just one degree off) in our spiritual direction can lead us drastically off course
• Trials often bring us to the end of ourselves so we learn to trust God completely
• During difficult times, keep your eyes on the Shepherd rather than obsessing over the enemy's schemes
• The world doesn't need Christians to be mirrors of culture but lights in darkness
• Exegetical preaching through entire books ensures teaching the whole counsel of God
