New Life & New Hope

April 2025

KSSM Outreach

April flew by! It feels like we blinked—and suddenly we’re at the end of the month, looking back in awe at all that God has done. We kicked off April with a Kabod School of Supernatural Ministry (KSSM) mission trip to Cancún, Mexico.

Over the course of six days, some of our KSSM staff and students partnered with a team member who lives and ministers in Cancún, helping lead outreach, a special needs surf camp, and ministry to local churches and pastors.

They witnessed signs, miracles, and wonders—people who had been afflicted for years and unable to walk got up and jumped for joy!

How good is our God, who invites us to be His hands and feet—whether we’re standing before kings or kneeling to pray for grandmothers’ feet, He honors our simple “yes” to go where He leads.

HOME SAFE: A Rescue, A Refuge, and a Restored Future

We recently had the honor of welcoming a Person of Hope into one of our H3 safe houses—a young man rescued from human trafficking, whose journey reminded us of God’s perfect timing and relentless love.

For three weeks, he lived as part of the Kabod family. He was welcomed into safety, surrounded by love, and gently ministered to as the presence of God brought peace to his heart and restoration to his soul. Though words were few, his eyes told the story—of relief, of healing, and of hope returning.

He said, “When I’m with you, things happen. When you’re not there, nothing happens…”

We reminded him: it’s not us—it’s Jesus. He is the Rescuer. The Redeemer. The One who made a way home.

In that short time, his heart softened. He began to laugh, joke, and share his deep desire to be reunited with his mama and his dog, Ruby. He wasn’t just longing for safety—he was longing for family.

By God’s grace, we were able to provide trauma-informed care, security, and full repatriation. Through countless prayers, the support of many, and the faithfulness of Jesus, that longing became a reality.

His words upon reuniting with his mama were simple and sacred:

“Thank you so much for helping me to get home to my mama… She is much better because of your prayers. God Bless!”

This is the power of rescue. This is the love of the Father in action.

He is no longer hidden in the shadows—he is home. He is safe. And his story is just beginning.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer and faith.

All glory to Jesus—the One who heals, restores, and brings the lonely into family.

Son-Rise Service

This Easter Sunday, we returned to our roots with a peaceful and powerful Son-Rise service by the sea. As we worshipped with simple acoustic music, a gentle sea breeze surrounded us, and the sun rose in a stunning display of orange light, welcoming the Risen King of Kings.

We had an amazing turnout, with over 100 people gathered and raising their voices together in praise. We were honored to partner with a local church as we remembered and gave thanks for Jesus’ sacrifice. John shared an incredible word, pointing all glory back to the Lord for the victory He won for us on the cross. It was a morning filled with gratitude, worship, and the undeniable presence of God.

Born Again!

Following our sunrise service, we had the incredible joy of witnessing baptisms in the sea—what a powerful and beautiful way to celebrate Jesus' resurrection!

Three members of our church had already planned to be baptized on Easter Sunday, but as the Spirit moved, even more hearts were stirred. One by one, young adults and children stepped down into the water, ready to publicly declare their faith and give their lives to the Lord. John stood in the waves, welcoming each person with excitement while the crowd stood on the pier and celebrated.

It was a truly unforgettable moment, filled with joy, awe, and a deep sense of God’s presence among us.

What a Month!

Thank You for Standing with Us! We stand in awe of all God has done.

None of this would be possible without your faithful prayers, generosity, and partnership. Every life touched, every heart healed, every soul saved—it’s all for His glory. —the Rescuer, Redeemer, and Risen King!
