They have a team that reaches to these women so they can encounter the love of God and help them in practical ways. God is using them to make a difference in the city of Dallas, but He is also using them to train ministries in other cities to reach out to these women. We believe God is TURNING THE HEARTS to reach out and love these women that are being exploited around the world, in our cities and in our very own backyards.

We got so much contend we are going to work on it for a while, but we wanted to release a little clip. God is turning the hearts of children to the Father's.

With a life given to the red-letter text of God’s Word, Jade De Kelaita's heart has been captured by the world’s rejected – the orphan, the widow, the poor, the prisoner, the homeless, the sick, and the forgotten. The presence of God she carries has opened doors for her to speak nationally and internationally in prisons, schools, universities, nursing homes, under bridges, churches, and nations such as Africa, Asia, Central America, UK, and more. She is birthing a “2:6 Movement” in the earth where true disciples are rising up to live out 1 John 2:6. “Whoever claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did.” Jade shares wisdom she learned from walking "through the darkest valley." When you go through the valley and unexpected places you need to have the word of God inside of you and beside you. 'For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. '- Hebrews 4:12 "With Jesus even in the darkest moments the Best remains and the Very Best is yet to be."

Time and time again I have witnessed preteens with such a desire for the Lord’s presence and often they will hear direction for their purpose and calling from Him at this age.They are powerful, not embarrassed to be childlike and full of faith.They excel when given the opportunity to step into their fivefold giftings. They have a big yes for the Lord and we can actually learn a lot from them. Preteens are children from 9-12 years old. God is very intentional with this specific age group and we should be too. Sadly the church has little or no vision, or budget for this incredible age group but worldly initiatives are investing billions into targeting this age group because they know if they can influence or keep this age group distracted with their agendas, they will likely have them hooked for the rest of their lives. Pastor Gwynn Enriquez (Diversity Church in Dallas, TX.) started ministering to preteens in 1999 and has had a burning heart for it ever since. Together with her husband, Pastor Miguel, and their children they started a Preteen Gathering that launched with 12 preteens and has grown to over 80 preteens. They started with a "YES" to the Lord and Pastor Gwynn shares how He has provided all the way. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/turnthehearts/message

I am so excited about this episode. It is an incredible story of hope, healing, and the church loving and supporting each other. It's a story of a tragedy that God turned into goodness and blessing. Like Joseph said in Genesis 50:20, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. " Shelby's story is incredible and I believe it will bless many lives. Shelby Slaughter is the Children’s Ministry Director at UPPERROOM. Previously in Los Angeles, California, she and her husband Nathan were full-time missionaries with One Voice Student Missions. They relocated to UPPERROOM in 2020. Nathan & Shelby have 5 incredible children. They have a heart for family and to see children transformed by the presence of Jesus. Email: [email protected] --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/turnthehearts/message

My sister, Anita, join​s in a follow-up podcast to talk about her encounter with God at a deeper level. She talks about how we can position ourselves when God is moving and offers wisdom on how to respond when he moves even in the smallest way towards us. Whether it's a big or small encounter, ​when you feel Him move​,​ TURN and look. "The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not being consumed. So Moses said, “I must TURN aside and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burning up!” When the Lord saw that he TURNED aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”" Exodus 3:2-5 Anita is the owner of The Copy Grind, where she uses copywriting to help businesses create effective brand messaging.

One of the greatest gifts you can give someone is for them to know they can hear God's voice, they can talk to him, and He loves them. Now more than ever it’s important for us to be intentional about disciplining this next generation. We need to teach children how to pray. God gave me a simple, creative way to teach kids to pray that’s easy to learn. I’ve taught the method at Kids for the Nations summer camps and with my own daughter. I’ve noticed my daughter has grown so much in prayer, and I am seeing fruit. I pray this blesses you and that you share it with many kids! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/turnthehearts/message
