The doctor diagnosed me with an autoimmune disease, however, God has said, “I am healed.”

In autoimmune diseases, the body’s defense system targets its own cells, making it harder for the body to heal. While there is no known cure, doctors can prescribe medication to help manage symptoms, though these treatments don’t always provide full relief. Some of the ingredients in the medication puts more toxins in the cells and the side effects are mostly the same as the disease.

Through much prayer, I have chosen not to take medication, but instead to trust the Lord for complete healing while also taking intentional steps to remove toxins from my home, lifestyle, and diet and pursuing natural therapies.

Absolutely not!

As founder and president of Rapha Nation, I know our calling: to take God, our healer, to every people group. And by God’s grace—and through your faithful prayers and partnership—we have done just that. In just the past three years, nearly 500,000 people in unreached groups have heard the gospel. We’ve witnessed countless healings, lives set free, and trained over 500 new missionaries to multiply the impact.

So I am not surprised that Satan is attacking. The enemy is furious—but this only confirms we are moving in the right direction. And I believe it is also confirmation to you, our partners, that your prayers and giving are shaking the kingdom of darkness.

Now is not the time to shrink back. It’s the time to advance! Will you stand with us in this next season—through prayer, through giving, through bold faith—as we continue to take the healing power of Jesus to the nations? Together, we will see even greater things.

Three months after receiving the diagnosis and intentionally pursuing healing, I began to see remarkable improvements in my health—so much so that my doctor even called it a medical miracle.

Yet four months later, after a demanding season of extensive travel, new bloodwork showed unfavorable results. Instead of continuing to progress, my health had begun to decline. Over the past year, I have continued to trust the Lord for complete healing while also making additional adjustments along the way. At the direction of the Rapha Nation board, I have reduced my travel and become more intentional about weekly rest and taking an annual Sabbath.

At my most recent appointment, my doctor gave me a sobering warning: unless I significantly slow down over the next two years, I may not have the strength to sustain the next twenty. For this reason, he has been clear—travel must pause for a season so that my body can fully heal. A missionary counselor also confirmed that I am experiencing burnout and encouraged me to take time to rest, allowing the Lord to refresh and restore me.

I share this with you because I deeply value your prayers, compassion, and understanding in this season. Once the Lord has completed this work of healing, I look forward to returning to the field with renewed strength to continue the mission He has entrusted to us.

One morning at 3 a.m., while on my last trip, the Lord woke me and began speaking about my next steps for Fall 2025. I clearly heard Him say, “Go to California.” At first, I was shocked. As I pressed in and asked the Lord for more, He reminded me of 2018, when after a season of deep trauma and a near-fatal car accident, He told me to go to California. I was there only four days, yet in that short time God healed me—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Many friends and co-workers were amazed at how quickly the Lord restored me. The ministry He led me to visit during that trip offers healing rooms and inner healing just as we do at Rapha Nation.

In the weeks that followed my recent trip, the Lord confirmed His word repeatedly. For three mornings in a row, I woke to the Father speaking as He did to Abraham: “Leave your home and go to the land that I have showed you.” He made it clear this was not just a short visit, but a call to move.

After seeking the wisdom of many counselors and the Rapha Nation board, the decision was made for me to move to California for 6-10 months. In this season, I will raise support for the ministry and focus on healing.

Right now, the ministry’s finances are much like my own health—both in need of strengthening. My focus in this season will be twofold: pursuing healing for my body and raising additional support (virtually) so we can continue advancing the gospel to unreached people groups, restoring hearts to the Father, and equipping new missionaries.

Healing for my body looks like consistently getting 8 hours of sleep each night, focusing on toxin-free living, and lowering stress. Coupled with time in the healing rooms, receiving inner healing on the weekends, and working a normal 8-hour schedule during the week. These steps will help restore my health and strength for the season ahead.

• Prayer — Stand with me in intercession, fasting, and speaking life over my healing journey.

• Giving — Support financially to help cover medical and moving expenses, so I can continue this calling strong and healthy.

1. Scripture tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. You can join me in this healing journey by speaking life over me, standing in intercession and fasting, and offering words of encouragement. I have complete peace that God is healing me, moment by moment. I don’t fully understand why I’m walking this road or why it has stretched beyond two years, but I trust Father God fully and completely. He is Jehovah Rapha—God my Healer—and I believe I will soon walk in complete health. It is no surprise to me that this attack has come against my body, as the very name of this ministry proclaims God as our Healer.

When someone asks me, I say, “The doctor diagnosed me with an autoimmune disease, but God has healed me of all diseases according to Psalms 103:3.” Join me in believing and speaking this same faith statement when sharing my story.

2. Some of you have asked how you can help beyond prayer. I have incurred additional medical expenses and would deeply appreciate your financial support. My current need is $14,000, and any gift—large or small—makes a real difference. You are welcome to increase your current support or share a one-time gift. Here are a few ways you can partner with me:

• $25 helps cover supplements and nutritional support

• $50 helps with specialized testing and lab fees

• $100 supports healing room ministry and inner healing sessions

• $250 contributes to medical visits and treatments

• $500 or more provides vital resources for ongoing care and ministry sustainability

Thank you for standing with me in faith, encouragement, and generosity. Together, we trust in the God who heals.

1. Ministry is ongoing, and a vital part of that work is developing and building relationships with new partners. While it’s often viewed as fundraising, my heart is to genuinely love and minister to people along the way—whether or not they feel led to join our mission.

2. Our mission to advance the gospel among unreached people groups continues. In fact, many invitations have recently opened for me to speak virtually into the Middle East. While travel will pause for the next five months, the work of ministry does not stop—it simply takes new forms and continues to bear fruit.

3. God doesn’t waste anything. While walking this healing journey, I’ve discovered many valuable keys to health and longevity. These keys have not only aided in my healing but will also serve as an additional resource for the ministry. I’m now beginning to record this knowledge to share with you and others—whether as part of your own healing process or as a new way of living that supports sustainable, kingdom-focused living. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and caring for them is just as integral to our walk with the Lord as nurturing our spirit and soul.

In some ways, I felt like Abraham as I journeyed from Florida to California. With much certainty, I can say it feels like I didn’t just move across the country—but to another country altogether. LOL! Through it all, I am so thankful for the people God placed along the way who made this transition lighter, sweeter, and full of His confirmation.

Anita (my mom): In spite of her own health challenges, she set everything aside to help me. Together, we drove through 10 states in 15 days—an adventure I will always treasure. Thank You, Lord, for a mother’s sacrificial love.

Peter & Angela LaPointe: Opened their home to us in Alabama as they continue pioneering revival in the state. I’m grateful for the way they embody Kingdom hospitality and carry God’s fire.

Doris Krise, Wanda Brown & Ann Dallas: These beautiful women sowed generously into our trip, providing the fuel and food we needed for the long drive. Their giving was an answer to prayer, and I thank God for their faithfulness.

John & Bev Cooper: When we arrived in California, they welcomed us with overwhelming love and care. I once heard, “How you welcome someone is just as important as how you send them off.” God used this couple to confirm His leading in ways that only He could orchestrate. For their kindness, I give thanks.

Through every mile, every stop, every act of kindness, I’ve been reminded that God goes before us, provides for us, and surrounds us with His people. Truly, this journey has been marked by His goodness—and for that, my heart overflows with gratitude.
