SERVE WEEKEND ~ WHITTIER, CA

Whittier, CA

Saturday, May 22nd marked the 3rd year Churches throughout Whittier (CA) came together to Serve the Lord through "community projects."

18 churches in Whittier participated in the "City-wide" Serve Weekend. Lee Hardeman and Colleen Marks (WACC) headed the organizing of the local churches in preparing for this weekend and also secured a small grant from the Rose Hills Foundation to assist in paying for materials needed to make repairs to homes, etc.

Dr. Ralph Pacheco, President of the LC Foundation and benefactor to the King's Table Ministries in Whittier (Pastors Joey & Pauline Alvarado, Co-Founders) -- Woman's Home was delighted to see the efforts put forth by Plymouth Congregational Church (Pastor Dan Pryor) at the Women's Shelter & Home in Whittier. Dr. Pacheco commented, "They repaired cracked & broken windows in the home, landscaped the front of the home with new flowers, installed an automated sprinkler system, and laid some brick for a new pad for a outdoor picnic table. 60 volunteers from Plymouth showed up to lend a hand. They were all ages ranging from 3rd graders (8 years old), to Senior members of the church. Plymouth's Youth Leaders Joe & Sandy Vinatieri, who do an outstanding job in training the youth group directed (approx.) 20 youth in preparing the front yard for the new landscape, the 8, 9, 10 & 11 year olds were just remarkable!"

New friendships were made this day. The testimonies of some of the women in the home were very touching and inspiring to hear about how the Lord Jesus Christ has made all the difference in their lives. The women in the home were overwhelmed with the kindness and generosity of God's people who came to bless the Women's home as their service on Serve Weekend. Pastor Joey Alavarado addressed the volunteers, "Words cannot express my feelings towards all of you, and what you have done for the Women's Home today ... Thank you!" -- Glory to God.

May much good fruit result from the giving hearts of the saints at Plymouth Congregational Church in Whittier. Truly, it was a "labor of love..."

Donations for the King's Table Min. Women's Shelter & Home may be sent (payable) to: The LC Foundation, 13502 Whittier Blvd., Suite H, Whittier, CA 90605. Check Memo: Whittier Women' Shelter & Home. For further Information about the Women's Home or how to give donations, please call: 562 946 1410.

Stephanie's House Grand Opening ~ Mother's Day

West Whittier, CA


On October 6, 2009 the remains of Staphanie Almanza were found at the bottom of a commercial garbage bin that had been set on fire in Santa Fe Springs, CA.

Stephanie was apparently the victim of a drug deal gone bad. A 21 year old young mother of two hooked on meth who life was taken from her and her dead body left to burn in a dumpster.

The death of Stephanie had a profund effect on her family's home church; My Friend's House (MFH) AOG Church in West Whittier. Her family has been members for many years. The tragic loss of this young woman was a blow to members of the MFH family and grieved the Pastors of the church.

Enter Pastor Pauline Alvarado, wife to Pastor Joey Alvarado of King's Table Ministries. It was at a 24 hour prayer vigil on Oct. 10th four days after Stephanie's remains had been found and identified that the Menin their Men's Home & Ministry had been assisting MFH Church in their weekly food distribution that they heard of the death of Stephanie. They requested prayer for her family and her church family at MFH at the prayer vigil. Pastor Pauline moved by this tragic story of Stephanie was moved by the Spirit of God to think of the dozens and hundreds of Stephanies that are still out on the streets with nowhere to turn... If only there was a place where these women could go for shelter, prayer, and restoration. Glory to God, this would be a blessing to these needy women. However, was Pastor Pauline ready to commit to such a large task? Such a huge undertaking? Had she let go of her own pain and sorrow over past hurts in dealing with women in the ministry who then turned on her and abandoned her leaving her heart broken and in a shambles? Could Pauline bring herself to take such a leap of faith to open her heart and hands to do this work? Only God could answer these questions... which he did.

It was shortly thereafter that Mrs. Pacheco and I met with Pastor Pauline and Joey Alvarado to discuss the feasibility of opening a Women's Home in the Whittier area. This was in late October, 2009. By December, 2009 the decision to open the 1st Women's Home in Uptown Whittier was made, counting the financial support and efforts of the LC Foundation, Inc.

On March, 17th FCCI Minstries called for a 24 hour prayer vigil to prayer for the new Women's Home in Whittier and also for the scheduled Evangelistic Trip planned for Kansas. On Wednesday, March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) a 24 hour prayer vigil was held at Whittier Area House of Prayer. Exactly 2 weeks to the day after this prayer vigil, on March 31st, 2010 Pastor Jim Ortiz, Senior Pastor of MFH, turns over the keys to the 2nd Women's Home under the care of Pastor Pauline Alvarado, "Stephanie's House."

The Lord God certainly moves in mysterious ways. We prayed for a blessing for the 1st Women;s Home, and God opens the door to a second Women's Home. Coincidence? Or, Divine providence? I would subscribe to the latter. God had already placed the burden for the establishment of the Womens Homes on the heart of Pastor Pauline Alvarado back on Oct. 10, 2009. And then as God would have it he began to bless what had been established in His Honor, for all Glory goes to God, and not to man.

Pray dear ones for both of these Homes... That the Lord will provide for all of the Womens Home's needs according to His riches in Glory ... Amen!

-- Dr. Ralph Pacheco

FCCI THURSDAY NIGHT BIBLE SERVICES

Whittier, CA

Thursday nights in Whittier mark the evenings that First Christian Church International (FCCI Ministries) invites "Five-Fold Ministers" from around Southern California to come and participate with us in a powerful service time with the Lord.
We have had many guest speakers since we began holding these "Gatherings" last June of 2009.

No two Thursday nights have been the same. There is a dynamic "expectancy" among those who come out on Thursday nights. The "Faith" released in these services is tremendous. Many have received their healings of many diseases, and many have received a baptism in the Holy Spirit.

The pastors and other five fold ministers who attend regularly are there to model the ministry, bring impartation and to establish "new ministers" that the Lord is raising up in our midst. Several of these individuals who are being blessed
are enrolled in the Leadership Bible Institute that holds classes at the Whittier Area House of Prayer on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. These classes are conducted by Dr. Ralph Pacheco, President & Coach of the Leadership Bible Institute.

We encourage those who are interested in having a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit and desire to be activated into their "Divine destiny" come and be a part of what the Lord is doing at the Whittier Area House of Prayer at 12603 Beverly Blvd., Whittier, CA on Thursday nights. Services begin at 7:00 P.M.

BACK FROM KANSAS

Whittier, CA

Deborah and I are back from our trip to New Mexico and Kansas. The time sent was well worth the trip. We felt that the Lord was with us throughout our stay. As I had mentioned to those who are connected to our ministry; We journey to Topeka, KS on January 1, 2010. We went to the birthplace of the pentecostal movement, 335 SW Jackson St. where Charles Parham had his Bible Institute and Healing rooms. It was on January 1, 1901, that a student of the Bible Institute was "Baptized in the Spirit" with evidence of speaking in other tongues. Some Bible historians refer to this event as the "Baptism heard around the World." Bro. Parham moved to Houston, Texas circa 1904/05, where William Seymour attended one of his Bible Institute classes, shortly before William Seymour left Houston for Southern California in 1905 he asked Bro. Parham to pray over him for the "baptism of the Holy Spirit." It was on April 14, 1906 that William Seymour was used by the Lord to ignite the "Azusa Street Revival" in Los Angeles California. This "Outpouring" of God's Spirit lasted until around 1913 or approximately 7 years.

It is recorded that a "team" from Azusa Street visited the Uptown Whittier (CA) area in the Fall of 1906 and revival broke out in the Whittier community. Our ministry holds its Thursday night Bible Services in Uptown Whittier, not far from where the Azusa St. Team visited over a hundred years ago. Whittier is ready for another "Revival!" Praise the Lord!

During our time in Kansas I had opportunity to do advance planning in setting up our Evangelistic Teams California trip to Kansas and other parts. I was well received by friends in the Churches in Kansas. I thank the Lord for His grace upon me as I was meeting with and speaking to church leaders in Kansas.
