A Divine Opportunity for WAIO Argentina

Wednesday, 01 November 2023 by Carla Yerkes
Word Alive International Outreach Argentina

For the past 15 years, God has been moving through our campus in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Pastor Felipe has been leading WAIO Argentina since the beginning and has functioned as the church’s primary financial supporter, in partnership with members of the congregation. This financial responsibility is a remarkable sacrifice on the part of Felipe and his family, who have carried a burden with the Lord for the nation.

Recently, the economy has taken a massive hit with inflation as high as 10%, now pushing towards 20%. The church has been renting a meeting space, but the rent has become unbearable, costing more than $5,000 a month. Felipe was personally paying for this expense until he unexpectedly lost his job.

In an act of great faith and sacrifice, Felipe decided to use his severance package to purchase a building for the church. With the initial cost of the building taken care of, the church has been slowly trying to raise enough money for refurbishing. Specifically, $160k is needed for the first phase of remodeling. Felipe and his church have invested thousands of their personal finances to support this project, but the need is still great.

The project is moving at a fast pace, and the church expects to move into their new building within three months. They must raise money quickly in order to keep construction moving forward.

Church, this is an opportunity for you to “lend a hand to the nations” as Deuteronomy 28:12 tells us to do. WAIO Argentina is a light unto Buenos Aires and the nation, and it is a worthy place to sow our seed.

Please consider helping Felipe and his church get over the hump. Every dollar counts. Watch this video and give now! >>

Led By The Spirit: A Conversation with Pastor Benny Hinn

Tuesday, 25 April 2023 by Carla Yerkes
Word alive international outreach led by the spirit benny hinn

We have officially launched Led By The Spirit: What Pastor Benny Hinn Taught Me About Empowered Living!

It was such a blessing to be in conversation with Pastor Benny recently. It was intimate, powerful and revealing as we discussed the leading of the Holy Spirit.

The book covers several specific attributes that the Spirit imparts on Believers and several ways Spirit-led importation is activated.

We believe that in this decade, we are to be reacquainted with the Holy Spirit in a new and supernatural way. God declares that those who are sons and daughters are led by the Spirit.

Take a listen to my conversation with Benny and be blessed today.

The Year of Light: 2023 Ministry Vision

Tuesday, 31 January 2023 by Tiffani Scalzo
The Year of Light: 2023 Ministry Vision

The biblical month of Tevet aligns with the start of the new year on the Gregorian calendar (Dec. 24-Jan. 22). This is a time for getting our affairs in order and setting our priorities straight. It is a month when The Lord wants to separate the light from the darkness in our lives so we can see clearly. It is a vision-casting season!

Pastor Kent and Beverly sought the Lord for His vision for Word Alive International Outreach (WAIO) in 2023. Two separate prophecies confirmed that this is the “Year of Light” for our ministry.

“Justice” was the word for 2022, and we saw how angels of justice were sent to many nations, denouncing oppression, abuse and authoritarianism of unjust governments. This will not diminish in 2023 but will increase, for God’s justice always leads us to the Light. This liberation of light will come to our homes, ministries and cities. To God be the glory!

He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. (Psalm 37:6 ESV)

Interestingly, 2023 began on a Sunday—the first day of the week—and will also end on a Sunday. This will not happen again until 2062. Note that it was on day one of creation that God said, “Let there be light.” Christ—the Light of the world—was resurrected on the first day of the week, as well. We are believing we will have a year surrounded by light, where light is the measure of all things. It is a time when day and night (light and darkness) will have sharp definition so that God’s righteousness will have more weight, and the church will become more sensitive to it (Revelation 22:11).

Kent and Bev were in Alaska when the Father took them to the house of Light and told them that seven rooms would be revealed in this beautiful abode to enable the saints to access greater levels of light. The seven rooms He revealed are:

  1. Rest
  2. To eat the bread of heaven (to do the will of the Father)
  3. Confession
  4. Honor (surrender our desires to Him)
  5. Covenant
  6. Gratitude
  7. Forgiveness

The Lord calls us to be “scatterers of light” (Shedeyúr) this year, so that the angels of righteousness may continue to do their work. But if we are to receive the blessings God has for us, we must get over the disappointments of the past. It is essential to move beyond unbelief and establish ourselves in a position of faith.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV)

We believe that WAIO is not just a local church, but an apostolic epicenter of transformation. As such, we will continue our work to promote freedom across the globe. It is also our desire to shift the bulk of spiritual activity from our church building into people’s homes. We envision these “houses of light” to be places where families and neighbors encounter Christ together.

We want to equip and empower our faith family to lead their own houses of light, and the first step is participation in our Transformation course. This foundational class will be offered monthly on our campus, and materials are also available for those who would like to complete the training individually or with a small group. View our online event calendar for scheduled classes.

We are excited about what God is going to do in and through WAIO in this Year of Light! For more information on how you can get involved and be a part of the Lord’s vision for 2023, please send us a message!

The New Month of Sh’vat

Tuesday, 24 January 2023 by Carla Yerkes
Word alive international outreach monthly scriptural encouragement video recap new biblical month of Sh'vat

Sunday, January 22, began the new Biblical month of Sh’vat. This month is also known as the “Month of Trees” and we will see that God is calling us to be like a tree.

Last month, we focused on growing up in the Lord. This month, we are being called to grow “down.” Like a tree, Sh’vat highlights the importance of being rooted, grounded and established in the love of God. Psalm 1 is an excellent passage to meditate on this month as we seek to be “like trees firmly planted by streams of water.”

We have a beautiful reminder this month that we can prosper in the midst of winter. In fact, it is God’s desire for us to be prosperous. How? We prosper as we abide in Him. Our roots run deeper as we meditate on God’s Word, delight in the Lord, and remember that He loves us.

You can watch the teaching below to learn more about what this Lord is speaking to us in the new month. May you grow in the Lord during the month of Sh’vat!

Project 58: The Basics of What Happens Each Month

Tuesday, 15 November 2022 by Carla Yerkes
Oxford Alabama Food Distribution Project 58

By: Yvette Lovvorn, Project 58 Coordinator

Yvette LovvornProject 58 is based on the scripture Isaiah 58: 7-10, which commands we share our food with the hungry and provide shelter and clothing for the poor and needy. At Project 58 (P58) we strive to live this out in part through our partnership with Operation Blessing and the local community through our food distribution program. Additionally, with your donations of clothing to Esther House and donations of hygiene products to Project 58, we will strive to meet a broader set of needs.

We encourage individuals to donate $40 towards a pallet of food which includes a minimum of fifteen cases.

Oxford Alabama Community Food Distribution Project 58

These donations are typically picked-up by the donor. Clients use part or all of the pallet to help extend their personal food pantry, or to share with family members or other food pantries. Other clients opt to leave their pallet at P58 for distribution to individuals who walk in presenting a need.

When someone comes to P58 identifying that they have a need, the only questions we ask are how many people are in the household. We do not ask for identification and only gather additional information so that we might pray for the family or direct them to other resources in the area.

In addition to food, when available, we also offer adult diapers, Depends, feminine hygiene products, children’s diapers and pull-ups at no cost. This is all a part of the Operation Blessing Truck load we purchase monthly.  We never know exactly what we are getting from Operation Blessing until the truck arrives.

Oxford Alabama Community Food Diaper Distribution Project 58

We minister to and share available resources with a wide variety of people, freely sharing with families struggling in the current economy, individuals going through recovery, graduates from recovery and homeless individuals. Additionally, we share our excess with 2-3 churches that do a local distribution in their area, and we make a sizable monthly donation of food to the inmates of Calhoun County Jail.

We encourage volunteers to participate on the days we set up pallets, and when clients pick up the pallets by loading the client’s vehicles and praying for the needs that are presented.

You can be the difference. Give to help transform lives.

Your gift of funds, time and prayers all make an impact. Donations can be made to P58 by selecting “Pray Fast Give” online at: Give Now – Word Alive International Outreach

Ukraine: How We’re Helping

Tuesday, 29 March 2022 by williamsjessie
Learn how we're supporting Pastor Alex as he sends supplies to Ukraine

Pastor Alex and his family immigrated to the U.S. from Ukraine in 1991 to escape persecution for their faith. Now, “in such a time as this,” he feels like Esther, as he has been called to rise up for his home country.

Alex shared that churches are growing and Holy Spirit is moving mightily in Ukraine. Of course, there are evil forces working against this move of the Spirit, but even where the devil planned division, the church is uniting.

Alex testified that prayer is making a difference in Ukraine. He’s seen photos of giant missiles that landed in houses but didn’t detonate, proving that “no weapon formed against you shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17). Miracles are happening, God is intervening and people are coming to Christ.

God’s favor has been upon Alex in his mission, and he has secured warehouse space where supplies are being packed into shipping containers to be sent abroad to help those who are suffering. As a church, we are collecting monetary donations to help Alex’s team send food, medicine, blankets and other necessities to the Ukrainian people who are in desperate need.

Please pray for protection over Alex as he travels to his homeland, that the Lord’s favor would continue to be upon him as he takes the seed we’re sowing and blesses those whose lives are being torn apart by war.

Give now to support this Ukraine initiative.
