2025 Gratitudes — A Year of the Immanuel Way!

Dear Friends and Family,

Our hearts are full of gratitude for the past two years since our “Let it Be” retirement from the staff of the Vineyard Church Laguna Niguel. We’re grateful for the multiplication of many vibrant relationships and the blessings of extravagant resources that have come into our current ministries, Radius Network and Immanuel Prayer. We are all about freely giving away what God has so generously given to us and are delighting in the flow. We see ourselves as a “pipeline ministry.” What flows in, flows out.

We want to share with you some of our gratitude’s from 2024.

• Gratitude for Family
“Families are like branches on a tree, we grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as
one.”

◦ Cathy presses into quieting as she beholds Jesus, heals hearts through Immanuel Prayer, enjoys Pilates for seniors, worship nights and is obsessed with a new hobby, “diamond dot painting.”
◦ Kent plays in drum circles, leads tribal gatherings, sketches, paints, reads, sings, meditates and delights in listening to people’s stories and playing with children.
◦ Tiffany treasures jewelry, sings, paints, loves and consults people in trauma.
◦ Josh and Katy work hard to establish their lives in Seattle, loving the Northwest.
◦ Jon and Kellie got married this year! They enjoy their work, their Corgi, hiking, climbing, skiing and exploring in Seattle and beyond.
◦ Jordan works hard at Chrome Hearts in LA, surfs, runs in the Hollywood hills, enjoys fly fishing and his friends.

• Gratitude for Spiritual Family and Community
“Belonging is the joy we create around ourselves where strangers become friends, friends become family and even enemies are forgiven and blessed.”

◦ Family Church (our local spiritual community) continues to deepen and multiply.
◦ We also participate in Leaders’ groups, Triad identity groups, A “Teton United Community of Practice,” and Artists’ circles. – All these relational gatherings are growing deeper and wider; places where we nurture, bless and grow in listening to each other’s hearts & God’s heart together.

• Gratitude for Ongoing Ministry
“The church does not grow by strategies alone but by relationships that reflect the life of the
Trinity.” — John Zizioulas, Being as Communion

◦ Immanuel Prayer Sessions – We had the privilege of sitting with dozens of people this year locally, nationally and internationally in individual Immanuel prayer sessions…both in person and on zoom; seeing miraculous transformation as we simply put people’s hands into the hands of Jesus.
◦ Trainings – We completed three online 8 week “Immanuel Way” modules, three Immanuel prayer facilitator trainings and several Immanuel facilitator mentoring groups.
◦ Relational Gatherings – watch a brief video of our “non-conference” tribal gathering Idaho last September: The Teton United Rendezvous
◦ Father Christmas of Narnia Event at “Whydaho Roasters” in Driggs, Idaho in December was a wonderful success as we blessed nearly 100 children and the local community in beautiful Teton Valley.

• Gratitude for Provision and the Ministry of Giving
“We make a living by what we get, we make life by what we give.” Winston Churchill.

◦ We are overwhelmed with gratitude for God’s generosity to us through many of you as we sow into the joy-fueled awakening of Trinitarian belonging and reformation.
