Greater in store for 2018!! Happy New Year!

This year 2017 has flown by so quick. How was it for you? Did you experience a lot of changes? Did you accomplish the goals you had set? I would love to know what the year 2017 taught you and perhaps you can even share your insights as knowledge with me. This year was a year of abundance for me. Matter fact I declared and spoke over my life that 2017 would be a year of abundance and it truly was. I left my job at Crossover Church and started working full-time with the reggae gospel band Christafari. I moved to L.A. California in July. I learned how to balance ministry life and personal life more than ever before. I got to learn how God truly is a provider for this mission work that I do full-time. I saw him provide new supporters and I even witnessed some supporters stop supporting due to different reasons. Through it all, I got to visit over 10 new countries and shared the hope and love of Jesus Christ with thousands of people through the gift of music and dance.

As this year comes to an end, it is my hope and prayer my friend that you will expect great things for your own life and your loved ones in 2018. Your life I believe is meant for greater things! In 2018 don't just be a spectator, but become a participator of the many things that come your way!
 

In final, here are 5 things I hope you consider in 2018
1. Have a mindset of: I can and I will (Phillippians 4:13)
2. Express gratitude more often (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
3. Use your skills to bless others ( 1 Peter 4:10)
4. Have a vision for your life, marriage and home (Ps. 29:18)
5. Get better at loving others! (Ephesians 4:2)

God Bless you and your year 2018

Love you,
Nikita

I am so blessed by your generous giving in 2017 and I hope you continue to be part of a great mission in 2018. 

I am sharing reggae worship in Arizona for 2 weeks starting December 31st, 2017 with the Indians of Havasupai Indian Reservation.

Beyond that, we’re putting things into place to minister in another 20 countries in 2018.

We’ll be reaching the LOST in countries like Europe and the USA, the LAST in places like Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea, and the LEAST in trash cities in Central America, favelas (ghettos) in Brazil, and slums in Nairobi.

Thanksgiving Thailand Update

How are you? I just returned from ministering for 2 weeks in Thailand. Thailand is one of the most unreached regions in the world where less than 1 percent of the nation is Christian, so every single moment was a precious opportunity to share the hope, love and truth of Jesus Christ. We did 8 outreach concerts in 5 cities and saw many lives changed because of The Gospel - all thanks to you! Please keep this nation in your prayers as it is a tough soil, but I thank God for the many missionaries I encountered who are long term invested in Thailand to evangelize, disciple and mentor new believers.
This Thanksgiving I am so grateful for your friendship and support. You are truly impacting lives every single time you send me out. Enjoy the highlights of Thailand. 

Our first outreach was at a Buddhist School in Ban Phe City. Praise God for opening the door to share Jesus Christ openly in a school where the Gospel had never been shared before until now.

Praying the sinners prayer with the people at Thailand Christian Center in Bangkok, Thailand.

We shared the Gospel in Pattaya, Thailand--the sex-trafficking capital of the world.

We ministered three times at the Gospel Music Festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The Holy Spirit moved every night in such a powerful way.

Ministry in California with Christafari

Thank you for reading my blog!! You are the reason why I write every month and share with you to show you how God is doing amazing things
I have had the honor to spend a few months in the USA with Christafari. It has truly been a fruitful month in California and Mexico. We have been ministering at churches, festivals, and Salvation Army Centers.
It blows my mind how God shows up every night, how hearts open up to hear the Good News of hope and life.
How the same message preached of the Gospel continues to penetrate my heart as well. My hope is that where ever you are today in your personal walk with Jesus that you won't grow bored of your relationship with Him. But that you will be intentional, consistent and committed to the transformation that has happened in your life since you said Yes to accepting Jesus.
This California tour some unique things happened in the mission field.
                                                      Check out these highlights:

This photo represents the men in the Drug Rehab program of Salvation Army in Bakersfield, CA who all came forward during the prayer of salvation as Pastor Mark Mohr from @christafariband led them. Never get tired of spreading the Good News, it is what saves souls, and the trajectory of these men's lives is forever being changed.

I met Queenie while playing OceanFest, who 10months ago converted from Buddhism to following Jesus Christ and the Lord is using our music in tremendous ways to impact her life and faith. Her choice to follow Jesus has led to family members disowning her.Today she goes to @calvaryoceanside and has been connected to a Christian community and enjoys reading the word. However she shared how she did not feel anything for worship when she goes to church or prayer, as she feels it all sounds like country music.
She always loved reggae music and today was the first time hearing about reggae worship through @christafariband. She is excited to know that reggae worship exists and today our concert has brought her closer in her desire to be able to enjoy worship from the heart. Today was a milestone in her journey as a believer! Glory to Jesus.
