MINISTRY UPDATES
(Updated August 2009)

VISIT OUR AT-A-GLANCE ITINERARY
It is exciting for us to make available for you to see the many activities of this ministry. If you visit our itinerary page and click the AT-A-GLANCE at the top of the page you will be blessed to see all the ministry facets of Upon This Rock International Ministries.  There are days we have four services in different locations on the same day. It could only be the L-rd. I have watched these leaders grow and slowly filling in the destiny shoes that the L-rd has prepared for them - Churches, Traveling Ministries, Women’s & Children’s Outreaches, Messianic Communities, Government Outreach, Prayer Ministry and on and on.  I get excited to think that what began with me just simply traveling has ended up so vast and far reaching. Thanks be to Hashem! It can be overwhelming for me to ponder.
  
ESTABLISHING SHEMEN PAZ FELLOWSHIP CELL GROUPS
We have, through the years, established home meetings that have turned out to be very successful. It is now our pleasure to announce an entire effort of establishing Cell Groups in homes, as the L-rd leads, to teach the Word of G-d. Our newest, being a women's cell group once a month in Southern California and another open to all in Staten Island, New York. We know that G-d’s blessing is on this effort as there are many that are wanting to understand the Jewish roots of their faith. May He be glorified!

GENERATION OF DAVID WOMEN'S HOME
Belo Horizonte, Brazil
You may have remembered that last year, Generation of David Women's Home came under our ministry. The job they are doing, rescuing women and children from the streets and the slums (Favellas) is very moving. They have developed three phases that put families back together with continual follow-up. The condition of the home is that of a doll house with hand-made curtains, refurbished old throw away furniture, full kitchens and every bedroom is designed differently for a mother and her child or children. Their sanctuary for services is on the roof and the children comprise the Worship Team. If you could only see with your eyes and feel it with your heart, you would want to help.

We are sending monies monthly to her. Please let us know if you want to be a part of this project by giving and make your pledge monthly above and beyond your help to this ministry.

SHEMEN PAZ FELLOWSHIP (A Ministry of UTRIM)
We are delighted to announce that our Fellowships in California are widely accepted by many individuals that have been hungry for years for the Hebrew perspective in the Word of G-d. Many have said they have waited so long for the opportunity for these teachings to come nearer to them. I thank the L-rd for the leaders He is raising up.

“Need Mentoring?”
We now have a link on our home page that leads you to our mentoring page. It is interactive via e-mail and is led by Rev. Ray and Rev. Ventura Jimenez. They will be interacting with people all over the world. Ventura has a heart for women’s issues and Ray for men's issues. We know that this will be a great success. Standing by will be a team of people, including myself, that will work with them on answering questions. Both Ray and Ventura have walked with me and the ministry for years. They have attended, graduated and been ordained by our ministry and are seasoned faithful co-laborers in Kingdom work.

ON-LINE EDUCATION
When we began this effort we never dreamed there was so much detail to it.  Like any major program, it will take awhile to work any kinks out of the program. Thus, we will start slow. We will start off with individual workshops and topical teachings and are hoping to soon have a Yeshiva course available for you.  Please stand by.  The wait will be worth it!

SPECIAL EVENTS
Please keep visiting our itinerary for special events that we have planned to prepare for you. Due to the economy and the rental of facilities we have not been able to plan some of our major events but are prayerfully considering some powerful events.
