THE S.O.G. CREW AND ANGEL TREE COME TOGETHER THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON!

Hey Everyone! We're excited to share about a new movement that we are helping out with this Season through Angel Tree Christmas. The program works by connecting parents in prison with their children through the delivery of Christmas gifts by a church or organization. We have now committed to over 50 children to sponsor. We will be delivering to the children on behalf of their incarcerated parent a package with gifts, pictures, music and a personal message from their parent of love and care. We will have multiple events where we will invite the child and their family to come and hang out and allow God's people share the love of Christ with them this season. Interested in helping out? By donating , sponsoring, helping with event or hosting an event? Please contact: Lezette 760-851-7689. Together let's make this Christmas season a special one! God bless!

THE S.O.G. CREW/ONLY GOD CAN CREATE SUCH A MIRACLE AS THIS!

Last night, March 3rd, 2010, newest member and close friend of The S.O.G. Crew, Lezette Garza hosted a mini revival/bible study at her place in Thousand Palms. Through an evening of studying, prayer and worship, Pastor Robert received a word from God for the people; restoration of the father's heart to the sons and the son's to the fathers. It brought a miracle so great it could only have been God! All who showed up were in complete agreement for God to do as he pleased. Children from the ages of 9 all the way up to 55 year old believers agreed that it was time for people to reconcile themselves with their families before the eventual day of our Lord's coming. Everyone shared their struggles with family members and agreed that last night was the night that God would restore everyone's hearts towards each other. All in agreement and in high hopes brought change to one particular person's heart, Lezette's uncle. He has been at war with his siblings for years now and it has torn their family apart so much that Christmas wasn't the same anymore because no one wanted to see each other because of the hurt caused by words. Now he is in the hospital with pneumonia, liver and kidney problems and Lezette and her family had been praying for him because the doctors are not certain how much longer he has. Here is where the miracle takes place. Lezette and her family received the Word of God in their hearts and made a decision to see that the Word come true for them. Before the evening was done, Lezette's mom ran out the door and straight to her brother and siblings in the hospital, whom had not seen each other for years. As she rushed by the waiting room, her siblings cried at the sight of her saying, "oh, we're so glad you actually came! He's been asking for you! He's been praying you'd come!" She rushed past them and straight to her brother's room; she seen him lying there with his eyes closed. She quietly came in and approached his bedside. She laid her hand on his hand; he opened his eyes and began to cry. He began to sob and repent to his sister for all the years of words that he said that he didn't really mean. He asked for forgiveness for making the families hurt and pull away from each other. He wants her and his siblings in his life and couldn't go another day without them. ... God softened his hard heart and brought this family back together!!! Why would any person who believes the Day of the Lord is coming soon waste another minute in anger, bitterness or unforgiveness towards their family member or friend? It's not worth it and there's no time to waste. God is opening up hearts in the Coachella Valley and restoring families heart's towards one another. For over two years we have been working in the Coachella Valley, laboring and sowing to see God restore healing to the area; and now it has come! We want to help the area by bringing teachings of evangelism and studies in the Word. Please come join us next Wednesday at the same location to receive a miracle and change in your heart, and in your family, and in your neighborhood! We'll be at: 30706 Robert Road, Thousand Palms, CA 92275 at 7:00 pm.every Wednesday. Come pray with us, learn with us and worship! We'll see you there!

THE S.O.G. CREW AND SKATEBOARDING PROS WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE AN IMPACT

January 16th, The S.O.G. Crew together with Skateboarding Pros, Dennis Martinez, John Pope and Kien 'Donger' Lieu made an impact at Sherman Indian High School in Riverside. The S.O.G. Crew, missionaries to all Native American Tribes, was brought in to encourage the students through music and with a shared testimony. A skate demo by professionals, John Pope and Kien 'Donger' Lieu drew many "oooo's and aah's" from the students. John Pope is a SK8Kings Team Rider. He's known for his triple flip and 360 spinning trick! They're very impressive to watch and it was all caught on tape by Elite TV! Also revealing hard to hit tricks was Kien 'Donger' Lieu from San Diego. He's a 20 year veteran of skateboarding and began when he was 15 years old. Donger is known worldwide for his recording holding 'Highest Ollie' trick. He's sponsored by Puma, Vans, Alpha Numeric, Planet Earth, Life and Dynasty (his company). He's an awesome skateboarder! To reach the young population of Native Americans from tribes all over the U.S. the program brought to them was called 'OTS (Off The Streets)' run by Prison Life Ministries and Dennis Martinez, Pro Skate Champion. He is using music, skate demos and a film called 'D.O.P.E' The Movie to teach the students. Both pros and The S.O.G. Crew are friends Dennis Martinez and are working with him to encourage students in high schools across the United States and in other smaller countries to encourage them to stay away from drugs and to seek God in their professions throughout life. Please lift them up in prayer as they continue to reach more and more young adults and teens with their message of hope. Thank you and God bless!

We'd like to send a special thank you to our good friend Wade Large for introducing us to the City of Price in the great state of Utah! Thanks to our brother Wade, Price Chapel on Price River Dr received a blessing they only hoped they could from a hip hop ministry. It was a revival! Pastor Robert 'Battle Ax' led the people into prayer and the prayer led into changed lives! Those young teenagers who've struggled with life, drugs, and peer pressure; cried out to God and God answered them. Adults who had problems with their own parents and their own lost children received hope again and peace to see their issues through with power! There was a lot of singing, dancing, hugging, and prayer being made that evening; something Price did not expect at a youth hip hop concert! Thank you to Pastor Dan of Price Chapel for opening the doors for God to move on behalf of his people in Price and thank you to Wade Large for showing the way!

THE S.O.G. CREW MAKE A MIRACULOUS ENTRANCE INTO CANADA

To all our family, friends and prayer warriors, please keep us in your prayers. God is taking us deeper into new nations. God has made a miracle happen for us and is sending us into Canada to jump start revivals! In the past, Pastor Robert ‘Battle Ax’ had not been able to receive his passport from the U.S. and this has kept the ministry from ministering in Canada. But thankfully for God’s grace, mercy and all of our friend’s prayers; the Canadian Government granted permission for the entire S.O.G. Crew Family to enter into their providences and minister the gospel through hip hop and the Word! Now we’ll be reaching out to communities in 7 different Native Canadian Indian reservations with a team of friends! Only by God could this happen! So, we thank you all for pushing us through prayer to go even further than the United States to spread the gospel through music. We want even more of God! So, keep praying for us as we are praying for you all. We are thankful for you. If you are in Canada and need us in your area; call us: 714-808-3458. We bless you
