Who We Are

How did Faith Alive come about?  Well I was sitting in church one Wed night, and my Pastor at the time was preaching on how Faith without works is dead!  The Holy Spirit spoke to me and said Faith Alive!  And right there in church he started showing me a ministry.  In 

Sept 2024, I started hearing things and getting ideas.. when the Holy Spirit had my full undivided attention, I said ok, so what do we call it?  Immediately I heard Faith Alive Youth Explosion.  And thus.. Faith Alive was born!  That said.. Faith Alive will be more than a yearly youth explosion.. He's showing me other things that we will be doing.  This isn't a "me" thing.  I'm just His willing vessel, But it's going to take a village!
