Victory House’s New Garden with His Missions
March forth (4th) 2023
My favorite day of the year. When I was a little girl my grandma would always say on March 4(forth)…… remember to March forth(4th)Angie… she’s the only one in the whole world ever allowed to call me Angie by the way. Anyways grandma died on March 4 and she marched fourth right up to heaven!
What an amazing way we got to spend March 4th grandma you would’ve been proud. You and grandpa loved your gardening…
Sooooo blessed and sooo grateful for HIS MISSIONS TEAM coming to ARMOR UPS VICTORY house and bringing supplies and all the fixings for a beautiful garden. And a special THANK YOU TO HELEN BRUSOS DAD GILES PAGET WILKES for our plants! It was so exciting to see the girls and all of us plant together as a team to start from scratch and now to be able to watch tomatoes and peppers and collard greens and all of our herbs grow. The girls are loving it ! they are watering it and tending to it and still planting and adding coffee grounds and they are taking such pleasure in watching that garden grow. I love it. And I love you guys for coming and working with us and partnering with us and laughing and yes crying with a few of us also. You all are an amazing ministry and I’m so grateful to be partnering with you and doing life with you guys! Thank you for your kind and giving hearts and for taking your Saturday morning to spend time and teach our women how to build plant and grow our garden!!!!!Love you guys!
By the way we dedicated our garden to my grandma Katherine so now this is the grandma Katherine garden

Easter Last Supper Reenactment
Community United Methodist Church had this amazing event that all of us from FREEDOM and VICTORY HOUSES had the pleasure of going to! Soooo good!
Backpacks for the Homeless with His Missions
What an incredible God appointed, God anointed day we had with the honor of getting to love on the homeless population in the streets of Orlando!
This is one of my very favorite things that ARMOR UP gets to do. We got to pass out 110 backpacks filled and overflowing. A BIG Thank you to ONE HEART and all who donated ! We had HIS MISSIONS team with us this year and a lot of our women from FREEDOM AND VICTORY HOUSES. We had helen and Rhonda, leigh and myself from ARMOR UP.
This always inspires ,ministers and feeds my soul more than anything we think we are doing for God‘s hurting people!!!!! By the grace of God it’s not us in those streets and it very well could have been or could be and I will live every day of my life thanking God for his goodness and that I made it out of the pits of hell in my addiction as well as all the other people with us….we are all truly miracles and what a privilege it is to go and get to be a light in the darkness and spread the hope that we have by the word of our testimony! We pray dear LORD for these peoples souls. We pray LORD that they feel loved and remembered today. We pray Lord that we were able to just love your people well and we were able to spread some light and hope into their lives!!!!! We pray The ones that prayed the salvation prayer that We will get to see them in heaven one day!!!!! We pray that seeds were planted and that all these people will have a holy spirit divine encounter with you LORD! We pray for the salvation of their souls! God We pray that we and everyone reading this will go and spread the gospel of your love to your broken hurting people…. Just one at a time. God tells us to leave the 99 sheep and go after the one lost sheep. He cares so much about that one lost sheep. Every soul matters. There is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents then the 99 who do not need to repent. So please my friends go after that one lost sheep today who needs the hope and the joy and healing that our Savior brings! I have a picture of a young woman named Allison in my mind right now her face and words will never leave me. This very young woman so loved by God but so hurt by the world just tormented believing the lies and listening to the wrong voices …please help me pray for Allison…. She’s just one of the many people that needs our prayers for deliverance and healing! no one should be living in the streets without a home without love without food and a warm bed and a shower and clean clothes and the things we just take for granted…… let’s all just do our part and GO And be the change we want to see in the world today. If all of us just made it our mission to be the light and the voice of truth to one person each day ,what a difference it would make in our lives and theirs in this world and in the kingdom of heaven for all eternity!I LOVE YOU ALL! GOD BLESS YOU!
