People Building Skill
COUNTDOWN TO SUNDAY, OCT 19
This 52‑day journey has been a
countdown—
not just to a date, but to a vision
realized.
Isaiah 43:19
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."
We are an Oasis of Care.
The desert is transformed into an oasis — an inn, a city of refuge, a safe place where:
The wounded are cared for, healed, and restored to wholeness.
The fallen are lifted up, forgiven, and loved into wholeness, new life, and new beginnings.
The lacking are made rich, and the wilderness is transformed into an oasis.

Special Prophecy by Dr Jim, 29 Aug 2025.
Pray at every gathering:
Who is God asking me to notice,
care for, or lift up this week as an
ambassador of hope?
There will be more stories of breakthroughs, as we rise as ambassadors of hope and care.
We are called to reach out with passion— to go the extra mile, like the one who lifted the man onto His donkey and walked the rest of the way.
He took him to the inn, cared for him, and entrusted the innkeeper with care, saying, “I will pay.” God will honor every act of kindness— both here and in eternity.
