Jesus Is Lord Freedom Crusade
Videos
A powerful first-ever Jesus Is Lord Freedom Crusade brought believers from multiple congregations together in North Syracuse at Lonergan Park for a two-day event Friday and Saturday (June 19, 20) - with worship, prayer, testimonies, preaching, and baptisms.
Hosted by Christian Life Assembly, the event focused on one simple message: Jesus is Lord.
“It’s just so exciting,” said Pastor Ryan Deas. “It’s not about me, it’s not about a preacher, it’s not about any name or any type of church. There are actually a few different congregations that have come together. It really is about Jesus being Lord.”
Throughout the gathering, attendees lifted their voices in worship, shared testimonies of God’s faithfulness, prayed together, and witnessed lives being touched by Jesus Christ.
“We just sing songs, share testimonies of what God is doing, have baptisms, and we pray,” Deas said. “We’re seeing God do great things.”
Organizers hope to continue the Jesus Is Lord Crusade with additional gatherings later this summer and in the future as local churches unite around the common purpose of exalting Jesus Christ and reaching the community.

Mission Syracuse
"What an incredible evening last night at Drivers Village! More than 100 organizations were represented, along with 77 pastors from local churches and parachurch ministries, all gathered with a shared vision for reaching our community.
We had the opportunity to hear from a representative of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, who shared the process, strategy, and resources involved in potentially bringing a major gospel outreach event to Central New York in 2028.
The evening was filled with meaningful conversations, new connections, and a renewed sense of hope for what God can do when His people come together with a common purpose. It was inspiring to see so many leaders and organizations united around the mission of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I left encouraged, grateful, and excited to see what God has in store for our city in the years ahead. Please continue to pray for wisdom, unity, and open doors as these conversations move forward." John Tumino, In My Father's Kitchen ministry, June 5

Testimony Monday
Joe Bolognone
“What a wonderful evening of sharing our hearts and our lives together.
Joe carried the room with his genuine love for people, openly sharing the testimony of what God has done in his life. It was powerful to witness.
Representatives from more than 17 different churches gathered at Denny’s tonight—not to promote themselves, but to lift up the name of Jesus Christ.
This is revival.
This is the Church.
Believers from different congregations uniting in love, worshiping God on His terms, seeking His presence, and embracing the mission He has given us.
Come and be part of what God is doing throughout Syracuse this summer. The Lord is moving, and there is room for everyone at the table.”

"Another wonderful Testimony Monday!
Cheryl Morrow shared her heart and powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness, love, and grace through life’s trials and tribulations.
Together, we shared stories of God’s love, hope, and transforming relationships in a public setting where patrons and passersby could hear the testimonies and encouragement.
What a blessing to openly proclaim His goodness and watch His love touch hearts.
To God be all the glory!" John Watkins, REV7 Ministries, June 8

Pastor George Nsamba event at Third Day Church
"What a beautiful morning at Syracuse Aglow with Spirit and Truth Worship and Pastor George Nsamba.
God’s presence was evident as His Spirit moved among us and His love filled Third Day Worship Center today.
Hearts were encouraged, faith was strengthened, and we were reminded once again that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Thank you to everyone who came and worshiped together.
May we continue to walk in His love and carry His presence into our homes, churches, and communities.
“We love because He first loved us.”

"Let me introduce to you Mega Bubble Man Productions. We would be grateful if you would bring our Bubble Ministry to the attention of your organizational meeting. If you've been praying for a way to reach your community, a way to expand your Sunday School attendance or a VBS Program ... Mega Bubble Man could be it!
Jim Livi, Mega Bubble Man, easily captivates children with the fascination of his colorful life-size bubbles. Children are acquainted with the amazing world of "Bubblopolis!" where "Bubblopolis Citizens" teach biblical principles in an entertaining and exciting format. It's like a soap bubble puppet show, but better! Jim uses bigger and bigger bubble wands to present the gospel. See pictures below. Even teenagers get caught up in the fun.

Kacy's Kits
Kacy Brink: "The kits are thoughtfully packed with food, water, toiletries, clothing items, and small tokens of hope - all placed in a clear, gallon-sized Ziploc bag. They’re designed to be easy to grab and hand out through a car window when you see someone in need, or to serve as a simple, natural way to stop, engage, and pray with people on the streets. My vision is to begin scheduling several types of events:
1. Church & Ministry Partnership Tables
I’d like to offer churches and ministries the opportunity to host a table at Christian networking events where people can purchase pre-assembled kits for $5 each or donate funds and supplies in person.
2. Kit Assembly Events
I’ll be scheduling hands-on assembly gatherings where people can come together, serve side by side, and help pack the kits.
3. Street & Outreach Distributions
I’ll also be planning outings where we take the kits directly to the streets or partner with other ministries during their scheduled outreach events to distribute them."
