The Lord’s Flock International West Coast Chapter gathered at St. Joseph’s Parish on March 8, 2025 in Elk Grove, California, for a momentous event titled: Facing 2025. This special occasion was hosted by the Sacramento chapter, and brought together 90 attendees from the West Coast chapters, including Bakersfield, Daly City, Dublin, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Sacramento. It was a powerful assembly of worship, renewal, and consecration. With the theme “Transition,” the event focused on spiritual growth, transformation, and the call to embrace new seasons of service in God’s kingdom.
The West Coast Chapters were blessed by the presence of the Elder-Founder Techie “Soar” Rodriguez and Judith Almendrala (Steward Elder’s Outreach). It was a fellowship and spiritual enrichment event which started with sharing meals by all chapters. The program commenced after lunch, drawing participants into an atmosphere of faith-filled anticipation – a time of preparation and empowerment. Soar delivered her heartfelt appreciation and awarded the last years’ leaders with certificates, as well as deserving members.
“The congregation was deeply touched as they sang “Walk with You”, Soar’s special song for the Facing 2025.” One of the program’s key moments was Soar’s sharing on the theme “Transition”. Her talk emphasized the divine transition that the Lord has brought to the community in relation to one’s personal journey. She declared that God is doing something new— a revival is coming, and a new season is unfolding. As God’s people in the community, everyone is called to embrace this change with faith, obedience, and expectation. She further exhorted to trust God in leading the community to greater works for His glory. After her talk, everyone reflected on the Christian mission and reinforced their commitment to the work ahead.
Another highlight of the event was the solemn Rite of Consecration of the 70 servants working for the community for 2025. Soar led the consecration and called upon the Holy Spirit to empower the community servants for the mission. This sacred act reaffirmed their commitment to God’s call and strengthened their resolve to labour faithfully in His kingdom. The community’s vision and mission: “Save My People and Bring Them to Safety” inspired everyone to lead more souls to Christ and offer them spiritual refuge and guidance in an ever-changing world.
As the event drew to a close, attendees shared in a sumptuous dinner, further deepening their bond as a community united in faith and service. With hearts ignited and spirits uplifted, the 70 consecrated servants realized a renewed sense of purpose, ready to embrace 2025 with unwavering faith and dedication. The event truly stood as a testament to God’s enduring presence in His community —which exists for Him and His glory.
To God be all the glory!
