Joy & Happiness

I met Pastor’s Don and Charlene 6 years ago at a church in Sacramento where we were all members at the time. When I met them, I was just a baby in Christ learning as much as I could and they were right there praying with me, encouraging me, and motivating me along the way in life’s experiences. As time went on, they started their ‘A Night to Dream’ ministry three years ago. It was all new and exciting to me. Through those ‘A Night to Dream’ events I learned who I was, that I had a purpose in life, and I was starting to figure out my calling. They always encourage us who are in attendance, motivate us, push us out of our comfort zone, help us figure out what our purpose is, and pray over us through things we are going through.

This January they hosted ‘A Night to Dream Experience’ in Idylwild, California. Before driving up the mountain, I had been praying for months about some things so I went up there expecting answers and clarity on things. In December 2017, the Holy spirit spoke to me that big things were going to happen while on the mountain; there was going to be a shift and a Holy Spirit movement like no other. I heard in my spirit there were going to be signs, wonders, and miracles happen during the mountain experience and this was going to be the start of my season for the new year. As the weekend progressed at the ‘A Night to Dream Experience’ in January of this year, everything that the Holy spirit told me, happened. All my prayers were answered and I received much clarity. The signs, wonders and miracles Holy Spirit said would happen did for all the participants; it was such a beautiful sight to see. It was like heaven came down on the earth during the whole weekend. The Holy spirit even downloaded to me more things during my worship experience. I never worshiped or cried so much or felt so happy in my life than during the mountain top experience.

The second night we were there, we were all praying for each other as a group, some anointing oil was being passed around as we were being anointed with the oil. When one of the leaders came to me and touched my forehead with the oil praying over me, I instantly fell out under the anointing of the Holy Spirit remaining there for some time soaking in His presence not remembering anything else that transpired. It was an amazing and phenomenal feeling spending time with God in His presence.

I also experienced finding my voice and being used by God as His vessel like I have never been used before. I committed to officially launch ‘Broken to Restored Ministries’ as part of my 'I Will' experience when Coach Al asked each of us what our dream was or why we were there on the mountain that weekend. God gave me the specific month and date of when to launch His ministry through me. I am beyond excited to announce I will be launching my ministry in June 2018.

Since we have come home from the mountain top experience this past January, God has been preparing me step by step of what to do for the launch of Broken to Restored Ministry. I have been spending time praying, reading His Word, and doing the research for the main topic of Broken to Restored Ministry and how to help others in their process of healing from domestic violence. I had an amazing experience while on the mountain; it was phenomenal, joyful, and truly amazing. It changed my life. I am so thankful for Pastor’s Don and Charlene for hosting this ‘A Night to Dream Experience’ and I am in gratitude for everything that they have done for me throughout these past few years.
