Hello and Happy New Year!!!!
      2025 has been a very eventful and blessed year for 
                    Grace Sanctuary of Hospitality 
   We would like to take this opportunity to share some of the highlights of 2025                                                                           We were able to accomplish getting our state license along with  dedicated to this ministry. And we are gradually adding new partners and people who are coming up alongside us to finance this ministry and that gives us more opportunity to reach more people for Jesus, to encourage and share the gospel and create more community.  That brings us to this summer and a missionary trip across the United States. Visiting different ARMI Conferences, Churches and our families across the country. After a long and dedicated search for an RV, we ended up with a 5th wheel that we could pull behind our truck. Our goal was to get a motorhome but we ran out of time and God blessed us with just the perfect 5th Wheel. We started out in Yuma Arizona and went to Washington State for an ARMI Conference and it was awesome.  For those of you who may not know, ARMI stands for Association of Related Ministries International. It's a division of Andrew Wommack Ministries and a community of like-minded pastors and ministries around the world that support one another and encourage one another.
And just recently we have been appointed as the ARMI Area Leaders for parts of Arizona as well as Southwest California. It is a real privilege and honor to be a part of this organization and we look forward to the year ahead working with ARMI.
This summer we got to see lots of people and touch lots of lives and encourage everyone that we ran into. Every step of the way God was with us providing finances, taking care of us and watching over us.
From Washington State we went to Colorado and then on to Kansas City Missouri, Kentucky ,Arkansas back to Kansas and up to Colorado for the yearly Ministers Conference and then back to Yuma Arizona. About  2 ½ months and 10,000 miles. We got back to Yuma in October around the 15th and since then we've been continuing our ministry here at home. We celebrated with the Parade of Lights and it was awesome. We had about 25 people in attendance, we had fellowship, ate together, and watched the parade of lights together, what a great evening it was.
We are celebrating the New Year with a White Elephant Bingo party and Gift exchange New Year's Day 2026. It will be a great way to start the new year with food, fellowship, and celebration.
All in all our summer was spectacular and we have so many stories that we would enjoy sharing with you of how God did such incredible things this summer…. Just getting us on the road and getting us back home again with a broken transmission was absolutely amazing and nothing short of miraculous.
With that said we would like to especially thank the people that were involved in helping finance this ministry this past year as well as all of the other ways that people give, and encourage us. We can't do this on our own and we couldn't do it without you, Thank You so much!!!!!!
So looking ahead in 2026 here are a few of the things that we have on our calendar already.
I would first like to mention we lost a very dear friend and Sister in the Lord as well as a huge supporter of this ministry…
Audrey Spangler passed away from a prolonged illness; Her  memorial will be on January 17th at the Foothills Assembly of God Church to celebrate her life. She is greatly missed and dearly loved by so many.    
We will be starting the Sunday Potluck's back up starting in January so mark your calendars so you won't miss any of the potlucks. Everyone is  welcome!!!!  And it's a great time for food and fellowship. Here are the dates:
January 11 and 18, February 1, 8,15 and 22, March 1 and 8. Because of our schedule, the one on March 8 will be the last one for the season.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                We will continue to have weekly Bible studies in person and through zoom on Monday afternoons at 3 o'clock here in Yuma The Monday Bible studies have been a big success with lots of lives being changed through the studies and we are excited to see what God is going to continue to do through these Monday Bible studies
January 21 we fly to Florida for an ARMI Regional Conference returning on January 26th.  March 13-15th we will be in Phoenix for a Regional ARMI meeting and then March 19- 22nd we will fly to Washington State for an ARMI Conference. We have two classes to teach in Banning California at Faith Builders Family Church. We will be teaching on Biblical Hospitality on the 24th and the 31st and then will be back in Yuma.   May 1-4 we will be in North Carolina for a Women's Event and in August we will be in Colorado for a Men's Event. October is the Ministers Conference in Woodland Park Colorado at Andrew Wommack Ministries.
With much effort, frustration and time I finally put together a website.  So please check us out at                  hospitalityministry.com we will be making updates there
As I've said we can't do this alone, please continue to pray for this ministry and consider becoming a financial partner with us. Your gifts are helping to change lives.
All the information is on our website for giving.
One final thought ….The Lord has given us a vision for a Christian Conference Center. We have been actively pursuing property around the United States where we will do this. This will be a place of rest, refreshment and encouragement for people in ministry and to share the Gospel through conferences. Let us know if you would like more information 602-909-0885
