Overcome Church Family and friends, God has called us to have a LEAP of faith and called us to go and go quickly.
God has confirmed we are to leave Texas and go to California. We started a lease here in November, we have family here, But God put it on our hearts for Pastor Jamin (my hubby) to do his resume and to send it to Jobs in California. We have prayed "if it's your will God, make a way! If you want us to go we will go anywhere even to another state or country, even if we have to sell all we have and all we want is You God and to fulfill your will for Your glory" and God is now shutting door after door in Texas and opening up doors in California and it's been confirmed multiple times in many different ways but we just don't have the finances yet. We were hardly able to pay our rent and are left with nothing...less than 100 dollars. He has vacation pay, which we will be using on the trip but won't have until after we get back and that would cover the rental car and some food, gas but we won't have it when there.
He has a few job offers he has to meet them in person, and want him to start asap, which means we will have to go to CA this next week and him go to job interviews, us look at houses and apts to move into, we don't have funds for tickets to get there.
Once we have a job secured and a place to live, we will be coming back to Texas to finalize everything and get a U- Haul, take what we can and go back on a plane with Ellie. He is hoping to stay in a sleeper truck while there at a truck stop to save money as we still have to get out of this lease and pay for here and give a 30 day notice. I met Jamin when I lived in Cali and him in Texas and now table's are turned and we are about to start this new adventure with no idea how, but we are willing vessels and even though it's unknown, we know God knows and will make a way! We can't afford a hotel or airnbnb to stay when there and transportation with a rental car, as it would be expensive to take ubers all over the bay area to go to interviews and look at houses to rent so the rental car option is best and I found a good deal.
God has called us to full time ministry in His timing but is now preparing the start of the way! I had a vision and God continued to show me the same church in every vision and dream and then in these exact words and Associate Pastor Hura confirmed the same words he heard from God "Because you will purchase this church."
We are the church without walls until we do have walls, but we will always be online too. We will have more opportunities, we will continue doing prison and homeless ministry but doing it more often as Jamin and I will have more time together and for ministry, he won't be working full time plus days and giving blood plasma and doing ministry, and I will have more help with ministry so it will be a huge blessing! We will continue doing outreach online and in person and will soon have a website up and running (but with this happening so suddenly it's put a little bit of a wait on doing it), more groups like teens, couples and children's ministries, a podcast, more outreach teams in person and online, we continue to partner with ministries all over in the USA, India, Philippines and Uganda, we will be doing events for the public and prisons including worship, baptism, prayer, sermon, testimonies, spontaneous worship nights, worship team original song recordings! God is opening up doors and closing others and we have to be obedient and trust Him! We have to follow God even when it doesn't make sense yet. In faith we are trusting Him and being obedient and going because He said to go!
Abraham trusted God and didn't understand it. He uprooted his family for the unknown, even when it didn't make much sense to him. Praise Jehovah Jireh! Our Provider! He is a waymaking God!
Proverbs 3:5
"Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding"
We are excited to see God continue to change and save lives! The world, especially California is in desperate need of revival and His word!
Please keep us in prayer! It is so appreciated! If you feel lead to help, anything helps and would be helping us to follow the Lord. Also, while we are there we will also be doing ministry outreach!
These are the things we need to get to California...
We plan to leave 13th of next week in April but haven't been able to buy tickets. We can also write up a repayment plan when Jamin gets a Job and pay it back in payments if someone can help like this
***FOOD
I would say about 100 to 150 for the week
***PLANE TICKETS
To get the cheapest price we would have to leave before I even sleep, which if i dont sleep im bedridden in pain, so an all nighter each way would be tough BUT it's the best deal and would be 1321.41 for 2 round trip tickets for a week from 13th to the 20th.
***Rental car: cheapest I've found is from
13 to 19th is $499.99
Toyata Camry 129.99 per day after the week deal. They can pick up from the airport for 150 or we have to find an uber to get there. We have to send them confirmation once we have tickets and then we can get a car.
Acacia is who I talked to
1-510-480-3383
For a week for a place to stay:
$1,341 for a hotel for 7 nights. It doesn't include parking fee though which is 50 dollars
or
$1,575 for the hotel for a one bedroom and a separate couch with a bed so when Jamin leaves for the interviews I won't hear him. This is the one that would help us best. Parking is also not included though and I'm not sure how much. This is similar to the place in CA when we visited my family and I was able to sleep well. I can't get out of bed if I dont sleep, due to pain and we will have a busy week.
(Best rates in safer areas, quiet areas where I can sleep that has ac. Both are great options but second is better option.
Pet carrier $50 dollars for airport
If Jamin can't stay in a sleeper truck, we will have to get him a place go stay and that will range about 110 a night for motel 6 unless we find a place to move the week we go, which is what we are praying for.
A rental truck to drive our stuff to California (don't know prices but I remember it was 2000 something when I moved to Texas)
A rental car if needed longer in CA will be 499 per extra week.
This is the car that has neen totalled for 2 yrs. We havent had a car but used Jamins work truck. We would rather keep this and fix then give back and have them fix it and charge more and not keep it if possible as its already on my credit. Any mechanics out there that are in Texas area and can help? We got a invoice of around 8,000 to fix. We are hoping to get parts from pick and pull and fix but that's still costly and still needs labor. This I got when I first moved from California and we had for a week before someone ran right into us, hit and run. Our insurance rolled over. We had confirmed we had it but since they took the monry out before we could pay, it didnt go through and we didn't know that until it happened so it's been sitting for 3 years almost. 
My doctor will no longer see me or any doctors here, he is going against state laws and having stage 3 CRPS (the most severe pain on the national pain scale) pain is severe and to do full time ministry, I wake up on little sleep daily and do schedules, fundraisers, social media, mentoring, prayers, outreach while I am bedridden. I don't let it stop me from fulfilling His will as I wait on Him for healing! He is so good!🙌 Pastor Jamin has a full time job and then gives blood plasma for extra money and then comes home and leads bible studies, is at prayer, Thursday and Sundays for sermons and is paid salary at work. We are always paycheck to paycheck and haven't been able to afford to pay off major debt, haven't been able to fix the car that was leased and totalled as it's about $8,000 to fix, we have been using his work truck everywhere so we will be left without a car when there in CA, place to live, but God is making a way and setting our paths straight! We have been a non profit for a year almost and 2 yrs had overcome church
We are trying to sell what we have with little luck so far as we don't have that much to sell.
