“And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” — Colossians 3:14–15

I pray this newsletter finds you in Truth and in Love, 

God is so good. The beauty of what He has done, for us, in us, through us — and even despite us — is miraculous. When the enemy schemes to divide, God responds by uniting His children. Each member of the Body is uniquely created with a purpose and a part. To the faithful servants: do not leave your post. And to the prodigal sons and wayward daughters: come home.

October has been a month marked by deliverance and healing. Spiritual war has been waged, and God has claimed the victory. Though the enemy taunts, the response of God’s children has been nothing short of humility and grace. I see nations rising — not in anger, but in love and repentance. The Lord has spoken: “My children are returning to Me. A great return.”

It is time to step out of disobedience and complacency. It is time to reject the false comfort of convenience-based faith. Revival will not come through creature comforts — it will come through glory in our suffering, surrendered hearts, anointed hands, and lives laid down in obedience to Christ.

We thank You, Lord, for all that You have done. We lift You in praise and adoration for allowing us to witness Your incredible power. In partnership with God, Shoulder 2 Shoulder has been a vessel for His work — and this month, that vessel was poured out in Piedras Negras, Mexico.

Piedras Negras, Mexico

We arrived in Mexico and were welcomed with open arms by a partnering church. That first night, we saturated Plaza Guillén in worship and fellowship, covering the park in praise.

The next day, we stepped into the Macroplaza with a simple offering: a prayer and a song. One by one, families were approached, and “La Bendición” — The Blessing — was sung over them. Walls came down. Spirits were renewed. A little girl wept and was restored to joy. A young man named Roberto surrendered after years of running. A hungry beggar laid down her plea and received something greater — healing, spiritual nourishment, and a meal offered in love from one daughter of Christ to another. Eventually, we set up a microphone and speaker in the center of the park, and as our celebratory praises rang out, a crowd formed. One voice after another joined in exultation: “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!” (Que toda la creación alabe a Dios!)

On Sunday, we joined the Pastor and his church. We worshiped, the team shared a word, and the prophetic charge was released: “The menorah is lit, sound the alarm! You are a golden trumpet, a voice in the wilderness declaring, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord!’ Proclaim and exclaim!”

Just as Moses fashioned two trumpets that multiplied into 120 in the temple, so too will the Lord multiply His sound through His people. What begins as a single call will rise into a great chorus.

The following day brought us to Revive Rehabilitation Center, where we worshipped with a room full of men in recovery. They ushered in the presence of God with shameless praise. Again and again, we declared: “I don’t want anyone else. I don’t need anything else. You are my one thing.” (No quiero a nadie más. No necesito nada más. Eres mi todo.) One man stood, then another, until the room thundered with voices of praise. Forgiveness, freedom, repentance, redemption, and deliverance poured out over everyone.

Later that day, we joined an alliance of ministers from surrounding cities — pastors on fire and ready to equip their congregations for evangelism.

The following morning, we ministered at a Christian school filled with children from pre-K to sixth grade. We danced, worshipped, and led a skit on unity between America and Mexico — the Kingdom family of God across borders. Shoulder to Shoulder, we stood. Even the children stepped into spiritual deliverance, showing hearts ready for restoration and revival.

That evening, we returned to the Grand Plaza, where we met a woman of great faith named Juanita. She had been wheelchair-bound after an accident that left a gaping wound in her leg, exposing steel and bone. But through the laying on of hands, the boldness of children, and her unwavering faith, Juanita stood up — healed. We watched as swelling decreased, mobility returned, and her bones shifted. She stood and praised God, tears streaming down her face. We gave glory to God for the miracle we had witnessed.

We shared our mission and worship on a local radio station. Later, we blessed a restaurant full of strangers, bringing a family to tears as they opened up about their son’s struggles. We prayed with him and connected him to recovery resources. That night ended with praise in a Catholic church, binding the spirit of religion and lifting up the risen King.

Midweek was spent training and equipping another local church in evangelism before hitting the streets to invite the neighborhood to worship.

Then came Noche de Adoración — Night of Worship. United with pastors, newly discipled evangelists, a full worship band, missionaries, and a handful of fiery children, we rode through the streets in trucks, inviting everyone we met to join us. That night, 17 salvations were recorded. Fractured hips were restored. A woman tossed her cane aside after healing. Another, once unable to squat, displayed her newfound strength with joy. A toddler named Medeline smiled as she ate popcorn in peace after prayer healed her throat infection. The presence of the Holy Spirit filled the park as the incense of our praises rose.

Our final night, Noche de Unidad — Night of Unity, was one of constant praise. Ten salvations. A young couple baptized in the Holy Ghost. Four pastors from four different congregations locked arms in commitment to unite the Body of Christ. Another mission team crossed paths with us, a divine appointment confirming that God is bringing His children together. A suicidal man was welcomed into the family of God, prayed over, and given a new identity in Christ. So many lost souls found home in the all-consuming presence of God.

One Unified Body:

As we look ahead, the Lord has given us a vision rooted in Genesis 22 — a call to radical obedience and trust in His provision. Abraham saddled his donkey and went up the mountain in a posture of peace, willing to obey the voice of God even when the command struck at the heart of the promise. His calm obedience shows a heart that values God above the blessing itself. The offering of Isaac exposes a spiritual test: will we idolize the promise, or will we fear and obey God? True worship is not merely song or sentiment; it is the costly act of surrender. When obedience precedes blessing, God sees a heart that fears Him more than man and honors Him above every good thing given. We believe Genesis 22:17 is clear, that we, Gods children, should take the gates of our enemies. That it is time for the church to awaken to her true identity, returning to the Lord and taking their city for Jesus. May this be the great Return of not just America but all of Gods elect. We have developed a Spirit-led evangelism curriculum and are building the Heavenward app, a resource hub to equip believers with tools, testimonies, and strategies for outreach. A way to not only track encounters but a platform for follow up and an ignition into discipleship for all those you meet. The app would promote unity as churches/organizations will be able to see how other churches are progressing through their city and a fortified front can be established to take cities for King Jesus together as one. We believe that with God it is possible for every home to go Heavenward. We are preparing to partner with churches across the nation — not to start something new, but to join the work God is already doing.

The harvest is ready. The call is clear. The time is now.

God is uniting the Church. No longer will we be divided by logistics, denominational lines, or building locations. We are becoming the Kingdom family we were always intended to be — one unified Body of Christ, one creation under God, indivisible.

“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body — whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free — and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.”— 1 Corinthians 12:12–13

The Body of Christ is diverse but indivisible —every part of the Body has a divine calling, and no role is inferior to another. What is your place? Are you the pastor, teacher, prophet, evangelist, scribe, prayer warrior, worshipper on the front lines, or one of the many soldiers serving faithfully in the background through operations, logistics, and financial support?

Joining the Work God Is Already Doing:

We are not arriving to start something new, but to strengthen and encourage the Body where the Spirit is already moving. We are partnering with local pastors and church bodies to equip and send out teams of evangelists, in light of the current spiritual climate — first state to state, then nation to nation. The harvest is ready. The call is clear. The time is now.

If you or your church/organization would like to learn more on evangelism and impacting your city for Jesus then please contact us.
