2024 Annual Report

A Letter from our Senior Leaders

We are honored to present to you the 2024 Annual Report for North Palm Church. As we reflect on the past year, our hearts are filled with gratitude and awe at the evident work of God in our midst. This has been a year of significant advancement, where the fruits of mature discipleship are visible all around us, and we have witnessed the undeniable expansion of the Kingdom of God. Through dedicated discipleship and unwavering commitment, we have seen men, women, and children step boldly into their God-given callings. Leaders have emerged, ministries have flourished, and our community has grown stronger in faith and purpose. The depth of transformation we have experienced is a testimony to the power of intentional spiritual investment and the faithfulness of God’s promises.

The territory we have taken together has not just been physical, but deeply spiritual. Our influence has expanded as we have pressed forward in faith, bringing light to dark places, healing to broken lives, and hope to the weary. The apostolic hub in Myrtle Beach continues to thrive, serving as a beacon of revival and transformation. Our outreach efforts have extended further than ever before, impacting lives both locally and globally.

As we move into 2025, we stand on the threshold of even greater possibilities. The work is far from over, and the call remains urgent. Let us rise with renewed passion and dedication, committed to the mission before us. Together, we will continue to disciple, expand, and build, knowing that the Lord goes before us, making a way where there once was none.

May we remain steadfast in prayer, seeking God’s wisdom as we navigate the opportunities and challenges ahead. Let us encourage one another, support one another, and labor together with joy, knowing that we are co-laborers in a Kingdom that will never fade.

We thank you for your faithfulness, your generosity, and your unwavering support. As we look ahead, we do so with faith, confidence, and expectation. The best is yet to come!

“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57)

With love and appreciation,

Mark and Patricia Estes
Senior Apostles

2024 Annual Report

Leadership Development Report

At North Palm, we believe that converts do not change the world—disciples do. True transformation happens when believers move beyond salvation into active discipleship, embracing the call to leadership within the Kingdom. Through intentional training, mentoring, and equipping, we have cultivated an environment where individuals are not only growing in their personal faith but are also being prepared to lead and influence others for Christ. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19) is not just a command; it is our mission and strategy for advancing the Kingdom.

Over the past year, we have continued to push into higher levels of Christian leadership, establishing a clear and structured pathway for development. To serve this mission effectively, we have created a Level 1 and Level 2 track designed to equip believers with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to progress into Level 3—active leadership. These levels provide a bridge that ensures every disciple is properly equipped, empowered, and ready to take on greater responsibilities within the church and beyond.

Now is the time to advance even further. We encourage every member to engage fully in this process, investing in their growth and stepping into their calling with confidence. The Kingdom of God is expanding, and we are called to be at the forefront of this movement. Whether you are just beginning your journey in leadership or preparing to take the next step into active ministry, know that you are not alone. Together, let us rise and lead with wisdom, courage, and faith, knowing that the work we do today will shape the future of generations to come.

Prophetic Journey

Life is a journey. And the path less traveled is made easier when traveled together. The prophets at NP are honored to accompany many on their individual journeys toward their divine destinies. Through the gifts and anointings that God assigned us, we help others to see the gold within themselves, equip them, empower them, inspire them, and encourage them to success in completing their own God-given assignments.

2024 was a significant year of spiritual and personal transformation as many walked out of doubt and disbelief, formed by believing the enemy’s lies, and into a new confidence of the good work the Father began in them. This focus was not only for our adult family members, but for our children and infants as well. Our nursery babies and toddlers prophesied to their families, and our preschoolers learned to record and share what they hear God saying to them. This was also our first year instituting our kids’ school of prophets, Kids Can Prophesy!

Here are some of the results from our fruitful labors of love:

Cherith Kids – 19

Prophetic Mentorship – 15

Prophetic Prayer – 543

School of Prophets (Adults) – 65

School of Prophets (Kids) – 28

Prophetic Ministry Community Wide – 3,340 (schools, police department, CCSD offices)

During 2024, we had a transition of prophetic leadership.  Through these changes, new opportunities for prophetic growth and development were designed.  We look forward to seeing the results they bring in the lives of our church  family and community.

Creating Community Together

Wherefore, we acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ over all things in heaven, and in the earth and under the earth.

Family is God’s heart, and North Palm is intentional to build a community of connectivity-an atmosphere of family. Having spiritual Dads and Moms embracing a diverse and growing group of sons and daughters makes North Palm a very exciting and active place. As a family, we are committed to grow together into all of the plans God has for us. We are learning to both cry together and celebrate together knowing that unity is the answer to Jesus’ prayer.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of jesus, his son, purifies us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)

2024 Annual Report

North Palm Preparatory

At North Palm Preparatory we are dedicated to fostering a Christ-centered educational environment that nurtures the academic, spiritual and personal growth of our students. As we reflect on the incredible growth from our inaugural year to the present, we are filled with gratitude for the ways in which God has guided and blessed our school community.

Year One: 2023-2024 – A Foundation Built on Faith
In our inaugural year North Palm Preparatory welcomed 30 students into our learning community. We focused on creating a nurturing environment where academic excellence and spiritual development went hand in hand. Our faculty, staff and leadership worked diligently to establish a culture that emphasized both scholastic achievement and biblical values.
Key Highlights of 2023-2024:

  • Established a safe, nurturing and faith-filled learning environment for students
  • Integrated biblical principles into every aspect of the curriculum, ensuring that each student’s spiritual growth was encouraged alongside their academic success
  • Fostered strong relationships with parents and families, creating a supportive community that values communication and collaboration
  • Focused on small class sizes to provide personalized attention and cater to each student’s unique learning needs

Year Two: 2024-2025 – Expansion and Growth
As we entered our second year, we experienced a significant expansion in both enrollment and program offerings. North Palm Preparatory grew from 30 students to 45 students, reflecting the increasing demand for a safe, biblically-centered educational environment in our community. This year, we proudly expanded our academic offerings to include a middle school, providing an educational journey for students from elementary through the early teen years.
Key Milestones in 2024-2025:

  • Enrollment Growth: We are excited to have 45 students enrolled this year, a 50% increase from our inaugural year. This growth demonstrates the increasing desire for a faith-based education that prioritizes both academic excellence and spiritual formation.
  • Middle School Expansion: With the addition of a middle school, we now offer an academically rigorous program that is also designed to help students grow spiritually, emotionally and socially. This expansion supports our vision of creating a seamless educational experience from early childhood through adolescence.
  • Commitment to Biblical Education: As we continue to grow, we remain committed to offering a Bible-infused curriculum that encourages students to explore their faith and integrate Christian values into their everyday lives. From Bible classes to daily chapel services, our students are immersed in a learning environment where faith and learning intersect.
  • Safe Learning Community: Our core goal remains to provide a safe and nurturing environment where every student feels valued and supported. With an emphasis on positive relationships, kindness and respect, we work hard to cultivate a school culture that mirrors Christ’s love and teachings.
  • Expanded Facilities: This year we expanded our facilities to enhance learning and community spaces for students and staff. The additions include three new classrooms, a lunchroom to accommodate increased capacity, and two fully equipped libraries. These improvements reflect our ongoing commitment to providing an enriched educational environment.

2024 Annual Report

North Palm Latinos

2024 marked a new a season for North Palm’s Hispanic community. We had a tremendous growth in our leadership. The growth was visible in many areas like the relationship with God, ministries, families and work. This growth has brought an environment and expectation of excitement, ownership and passion for the things of God and the souls. We saw the supernatural transformation of many lives, families, marriages and youth.

We saw great unity take place and breakthrough between leaders and disciples. The work that the apostles did to bring unity to the Hispanic community was shown by the fruits displayed by acting leaders. The North Palm Hispanic community was engaged all year in different events, conferences, Latin nights, prophetic worships, Ellas’s ministry and more. The commitment among our leaders and disciples moved to a higher level. Our Hispanics served in different areas and ministries showing love, compassion and maturity. God brought such a favor and grace among our community and many of them conquered their dreams. We had the opportunity to help some of our members to became American citizens, opening great opportunities for them to continue conquering the American dream. God is bringing ownership and order to our Latin community.

Our apostolic structure allowed us to work with our primary leaders to strengthen our columns and disciples. The columns were supported by our apostles, and the anointing of the house fell upon our leaders, bringing a greater authority to operate in the spirit. The koinonia among the Hispanics is evident, allowing us to work together to bring the Kingdom of heaven to earth.

Our systems in place allowed us to communicate in an organized and effective way, breaking paradigms and mindsets. The Hispanic leaders learned to work with calendars, succession planning and organizational tools available to succeed in the ministry. We were able to promote several disciples to Primary leaders from our succession planning in place. We will continue with our plan to mature the Leadership to be able to manage the Harvest this year.

We invested time to bring a Hispanic Conference before our global Conference to impart over the Leadership and challenge them to continue learning, preparing and maturing in the Kingdom.

Our Prophetic Worships were powerful!!! Our attendance grew so much, forcing us to look for bigger spaces for all the people attending. We saw a great move of God, and our Hispanic prophets were able to release the word of God, bringing transformation and reformation in people’s lives.

We were able to record our Spanish worship album this year. We are so grateful and proud of our first album.

Ellas’s ministry had a wonderful year, bringing different topics of interest to our Hispanic ladies. They celebrated the month of love and friendship in February. August was dedicated to taking care of our health. They had the opportunity to have a retreat to North Carolina and experience an intimate time with the Holy Spirit. Ellas celebrated 7 years of active evangelistic ministry in November. The ladies felt empowered, loved and challenged to continue to seek their spiritual freedom and purpose of God in their lives. Ellas has been able to transition many ladies to the core Leadership, going through our process starting with the encounter.

We celebrated our first outside Hispanic Festival in September. What a wonderful event! We were able to bring all the different cultures with our music, dance, food and more. We had vendors, sponsors and food trucks that supported our event. The day was filled with joy, colors, flags, a train for the kids to ride, native food from the different countries, a violinist, different music artists from the area, prophetic tent prayer, and our parade of the nations with the traditional costumes of their countries. We had an amazing time celebrating with our North Palm family.

The Guardians of the wall were faithful and active through the whole year, covering us in prayers. They covered all areas of the church, seeing and hearing things through God’s eyes. They were able to war, identify and destroy strongholds and familiar spirits trying to stop the work of God. They continue to grow and get prepared through different impartations given by different leaders throughout the year. They are active in the healing ministry and deliverance. Prophetic intercession continues to mark this ministry, praying and doing spiritual warfare according to what God is revealing. Many leaders joined this group this year, bringing a stronger core group of intercessors to cover the altar and all areas of the church.

We are extremely excited about what God is doing with our Hispanic community. This community is called to be agents of change. God is moving tremendously, and he is using this group as vessels for his glory. We are declaring a supernatural move of God over this community and a fresh touch of the Holy Spirit that will bring the harvest of the end times. We decree Revival over the Hispanics in Charleston! Holy Spirit, have your perfect way over this community, and allow us to have personal and direct access to your glory!

North Palm Levites & Media

North Palm Levites is the worship ministry named after the Levitical tribe of the Old Testament. Similar to the responsibilities of the Old Testament Levites, our foremost desire is to minister to the Lord and move His heart. In 2024, the Levite and media ministry experienced growth, breakthrough, and the taking of territory for the Kingdom of God. The Levites have continued to be obedient to the prophetic words of creativity that were previously released over the ministry.

Throughout 2024, North Palm Worship was able to release 10 new songs that have encouraged thousands of people at North Palm Church and around the world! In addition to the songs released, our team recorded our first-ever Live Spanish EP, which includes five original songs. These songs have now been streamed hundreds of thousands of times on all streaming platforms and counting. We have received numerous testimonies about how these songs have impacted people and their walk with the Lord. We believe we will continue to see God use these songs to fulfill His will in the lives of many.

North Palm Levites have now expanded into our new North Palm Myrtle Beach hub! We have had dozens of our Levites serving at the new hub and raising up new Levites in Myrtle Beach! We believe that in 2025, the fruit will multiply, and more souls will be won for the Kingdom of God. In 2024, people from around the world enjoyed 306.5k hours of worship and 4.3 million views on our channel. Our North Palm Worship YouTube channel also gained over 14k new subscribers. We believe there is tremendous power in spreading the gospel through media. We are so grateful for this ministry and the impact it continues to have on the world.

2024 Annual Report

North Palm Kidz

Hello, North Palm families! 2024 was a year of dynamic transition and growth for our kids ministry! We experienced such amazing growth in our attendance numbers that, by the last quarter of the year, we had to divide our kids into 5 different classes to accommodate everyone! It’s been an amazing year of harvest and preparation.

And, of course, we wouldn’t have the capacity to accommodate such growth without our amazing volunteers and kids’ leaders. We have so many new volunteers stepping up to lead this generation, and it is beautiful to see all the generations working together to steward this time and season on the earth! As always, we hosted a number of events for our North Palm Kidz. We had some dynamic kids’ encounters where we saw children come to Jesus for the very first time! In addition, we had our holiday celebrations and VBS in the summer.

One of the most beautiful things to observe this year was the growth and formation happening with our Kidz Worship Team. We hosted family worship nights and a Levite workshop over the summer for the kids to hone their skills and come up higher in their ability to lead. Our Kidz Choir joined us on the Embassy stage for the Easter Celebration and Christmas services!.

I want to thank all the parents and leaders who serve the kids of North Palm. This wouldn’t be possible with them!

We celebrate a year of victory and breakthrough with our Kidz Ministry. We rejoice and thank God for the growth we have seen. And we look forward to the greatest revival and harvest that we have ever known coming forth! We are continuing to transition and make changes to our services as we build capacity for even more growth.

Much love and many blessings!

North Palm Nursery

In this past year of 2024, we have doubled our growth of children and volunteers. Truly we are going and growing in the Sunday Morning Nursery and Preschool area at North Palm. Our children have learned how to worship, pray and seek God’s face through prayer. They know about God, the Father, His Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, our helper and comforter. We are so happy and excited to be a part of setting the foundation for what our Kingdom children know about our God and having faith in Him.

We learned new worship songs, Bible stories, and scriptures throughout this past year. The children have celebrated births of new siblings, birthdays and holidays and mourned when some of their friends and family passed away. This has truly been a trying and eventful year for all of us.

We ask that you continue to read Bible stories to them every day as part of their daily devotions. Help them to learn new worship songs, old and new, so that they will always have a song of praise in their hearts and on their lips. Help them also to learn new Bible verses, so that they will hide God’s Word in their hearts and never let it go.

We would also like to thank you Apostle Angela Henderson and all of the prophets, Marcia Williams (Mrs. Marcia’s Story Time), Ramona Flores, Odisnel Cooper and Emily Davis for pouring into our children prophetically every month of this past year. We pray that all the families here at North Palm will take hold of the prophetic words spoken over your children. Hold them close to your hearts, and watch God bring them to pass. The kids love the prophets so much. We praise God for y’all!

Parents, North Palm Sunday Nursery and Preschool, thank you so much for allowing us to help train up your child in the Word and will of God.

Blessings always on your lives, family!

Carlotte M. Bailey
North Palm Sunday Nursery/Preschool Department Head

This past year has been a season of remarkable growth and transformation in the nursery. With the increasing number of children in our care, we’ve welcomed more volunteers, creating a strong foundation of support. I’ve witnessed our structures become more robust and our teamwork flourish into a seamless flow across all Sunday teams. It has been inspiring to see how we’ve adapted to growth with flexibility and grace. The children have grown both in stature and in wisdom, deepening their understanding of God’s presence. We were also blessed by visits from prophetic voices who shared the Lord’s heart for the children. As we enter this new year, we eagerly anticipate diving deeper into God’s presence and discovering more of His heart for our precious children.

Karyssa Heatherly
Sunday Nursery Assistant Administrator

2024 was a year of new growth and change for our NP preschool. Kids were able to experience Gods presence and love while worshiping and learning with some amazing teachings. Each week leaders prayed and taught with love and wisdom. Some of our toddlers were introduced to a new setting, and we prepared our older fives to transition to a new area. With patience and love, our leaders helped each child to feel loved and accepted. We enjoyed meeting new families throughout the year. The NP preschool is excited to continue to pour into our three-to five-year-olds, while having fun. 2025 is going to be an amazing year. The NP preschool is a cool place to be.

Our Mission Statement

“But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 19:14)

2024 Annual Report

In 2024, Ignite Youth Ministry experienced a year of unprecedented growth and transformation, fostering an environment where young people could encounter God, deepen their faith, and build lasting relationships with one another. Throughout the year, the ministry focused on creating opportunities for spiritual growth, equipping the youth to become strong followers of Christ in every area of their lives. The combination of regular Bible studies, dynamic Friday night services, and impactful conferences played a pivotal role in this journey of transformation.

One of the most significant aspects of our growth in 2024 was the Monday night Bible studies. These intimate gatherings provided a space for the youth to dive deep into Scripture, fostering a sense of community and accountability. Each week we tackled real-life issues and explored how God’s Word applies to daily life. From discussions on identity in Christ to navigating challenges like peer pressure and mental health, the Bible studies were a rich source of wisdom, offering practical tools to live out the Christian faith. As young people gathered together, they experienced a deepening of their relationship with God which in turn empowered them to be bold and confident in their faith outside of church.

Friday night services became a highlight of the week, creating a vibrant atmosphere of worship, teaching and fellowship. These services were marked by powerful worship experiences, where youth could come together to lift their voices in praise and experience the presence of God in a profound way. Our theme for the year was “Reclaiming Righteousness.” The teachings were relevant and challenging, addressing topics such as purpose, leadership and the importance of living with integrity. Many young people testified to the life-changing impact of the Friday night services, with numerous attendees reporting personal breakthroughs and a renewed passion for pursuing God wholeheartedly.

In addition to the weekly gatherings, Ignite attended several conferences throughout the year that provided a platform for deep spiritual encounters and powerful ministry moments. One of these conferences was our annual trip to Forward Conference in Atlanta, GA in the summer. This ignited a fresh fire in the hearts of the youth with powerful times of worship, teachings and ministry, where many experienced personal encounters with God that shifted the trajectory of their lives. Whether it was through altar calls, prophetic words, or moments of deep worship, these conferences played a crucial role in helping young people discover their identity in Christ and embrace their God-given purpose.

The year 2024 also saw the rise of leadership within the Ignite Youth Ministry. Many students took ownership of their spiritual growth and began to lead in various capacities. For the first time ever, we formed a group called our “Youth Council,” which consists of senior high students saying, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” Whether it was leading small groups, helping with events, or serving the community, this team was empowered to step into leadership roles, both within the church and in their schools and neighborhoods. This not only provided them with valuable experience but also allowed them to put their faith into action, impacting the world and youth around them.

Looking back on the year, it is clear that Ignite Youth Ministry in 2024 was a year of spiritual awakening, growth and empowerment. As we reflect on the journey, we are grateful for the lives that were changed, the friendships that were forged, and the lasting impact that Ignite continues to have on the youth of today. The foundation laid in 2024 is just the beginning, and we are excited to see what God has in store for the years ahead.

2024 Annual Report

In 2024, the Lord continued to stir the hearts of a passionate group of young adults who are burning with a zeal for authentic connection with Him. We are a community determined to walk in awe of God’s goodness and to pursue Him wholeheartedly. We exist to make the Lord our first and highest priority, refusing to bow to anything but the altar of Jesus Christ. We are the TrublMakers – those who are called to bring light to the darkest places.

What began as a once-a-month gathering on the fourth Sunday evening has grown into something far beyond what we expected. As we seek His presence first, we decided to add monthly Presence Nights to intentionally deepen our encounters with God. We believe that everything flows from seeking His face. These nights are dedicated to worship, prayer and personal encounters with the Holy Spirit, creating space for transformation. Alongside this, we’ve continued with bi-monthly online meetings, where we dive into teaching and activation, and in-home gatherings focused on connection, encouragement and equipping one another in the faith.

Over the past year, we’ve witnessed powerful transformations in people’s lives. Individuals have been set free from the grip of homosexuality, addiction and apathy and are now fully committed to being disciples of Jesus Christ. The power of God’s presence has brought healing, freedom and restoration, and we’re seeing more people join the movement with a burning desire to make a difference in their spheres of influence.

Our mandate from the Lord is clear: to be agents of change who make TRUBL by carrying the mantle of Elijah and the Spirit of God into the darkest places, transforming them into habitations of light.

Planted Women’s Ministry

In 2024, Planted Women’s Ministry continued to grow organically as Holy Spirit led. It’s been a beautiful opportunity for women to connect with other women. Most importantly ,the purpose is to connect women to the heart of God and to help them realize their true identity in Christ.

This ministry is impacting many women from different backgrounds and stages of life with two desires, to know the love of the Father and to overcome and dispel the lies that they have been told or believed. The God-inspired events are impacting the hearts of the women, and it’s been beneficial for women to come together and support one another. Planted is consistently committed to empowering women to grow in their faith and build meaningful relationships to serve their communities. We have a passion for creating a safe and supportive environment where women can feel free to share their stories, receive encouragement, and be equipped for ministry they are called to.

This ministry fosters a culture of authenticity, vulnerability, transparency and mutual support. It’s crucial to create space where every woman can feel comfortable sharing struggles, celebrating successes, and exploring faith without fear of judgment. Many women have asked for something that is real and authentic and that is the heart of Planted Women’s Ministry. The women are so blessed by the hospitality, the worship, and the Word of God being taught on an applicable level. Women share on a regular basis how special it has been to have a place where they could belong and just be.

As a woman becomes rooted and planted in Christ, she learns to face the hard things and stand in the authority Jesus gave her. She is challenged to step out of her comfort zone as she learns how to courageously walk in obedience, to do everything Father has called her to. She comes together to break bread with other women in community, connect, grow in the Word, and encourage other sisters in Christ to continue walking forward. 

“What delight comes to the one who follows God’s ways! He won’t walk in step with the wicked, nor share the sinner’s way, nor be found sitting in the scorner’s seat. His passion is to remain true to the Word of ‘I AM,’ meditating day and night on the true revelation of light. He will be standing firm like a flourishing tree planted by God’s design, deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of life. He is never dry, never fainting, ever blessed, ever prosperous.” 

Psalm 1:1-3

Missions – Honduras

Honduras Mission 2024: A Powerful Move of God

The 2024 mission trip to Honduras was a phenomenal experience of witnessing God’s love and power at work. This mission took place in Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras, and the surrounding communities. In partnership with Pastor Daniel Dyer, pastor of Casa de Oración Familiar (Family House of Prayer), we ministered to many in need of healing, deliverance, and restoration.

Bringing Light into Darkness – Ministry at Danlí Prison

One of the most impactful moments of this trip was ministering at Danlí Prison with Prisoners of Hope, a ministry that brings the Gospel to incarcerated men. This prison was featured in the Netflix series Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons, known for its extreme conditions. Yet, in that place, we saw hundreds of men open their hearts to Christ, singing worship songs with tears streaming down their faces. We ministered inner healing and deliverance, witnessing firsthand the transforming power of Jesus as many encountered His love.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18

Children’s Ministry – Reaching the Next Generation

We also had the privilege of conducting Children’s Ministry at Children’s Cup Care Points and Feeding Centers. Each day, we ministered to both children and their mothers, many of whom volunteer at the centers to help provide meals and resources for their communities.

The reality these children face is heartbreaking. Many live in extreme poverty, surrounded by gangs that recruit children as early as 7 or 8 years old. We ministered to two boys, ages 9 and 10, who had just been beaten for refusing to join a gang. We also met siblings who, after attending the feeding program, spent 8 to 12 hours digging through landfills, searching for items they could resell to survive.
Despite these challenges, the love of Christ was evident, shining through the compassionate care of our team and the local leaders from Casa de Oración. This ministry provides hot meals, resources, and spiritual guidance to children from impoverished communities, offering them hope for a better future.

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” – Matthew 19:14

Healing and Revival in Comayagua

We then traveled to Comayagua, a more rural part of Honduras, to participate in healing services at local churches. It was a powerful time of ministry, where we saw Jesus bringing healing, restoration, and breakthrough to many. The people of Honduras are hungry for God, and we witnessed miracles, physical healings, and deep spiritual renewal.

“And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up.” – James 5:15

Honduras: A Nation with a Calling

Honduras is a beautiful country with a rich culture and a vibrant, passionate church. Despite the many challenges—poverty, gang violence, and economic struggles—God is moving powerfully among His people. There are amazing believers and ministries doing incredible work for the Kingdom, bringing hope, restoration, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those in need.

Join Us for Honduras Mission 2025!

We are planning to take another mission team back to Honduras in July 2025. If you feel called to be part of this life-changing experience, we encourage you to apply online at NORTHPALM.ORG/MISSIONS.

If you cannot go but would like to sow into the mission, you can also donate online to support the work being done. Every gift helps bring food, resources, and the Gospel to those in desperate need of hope.

“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’” – Isaiah 52:7

We look forward to seeing what God will do in Honduras in 2025!

Missions – Cuba

Cuba Mission 2024: A Journey of Faith and Transformation

The 2024 mission trip to Cuba was a unique and powerful experience, specifically designed for families to enjoy missions together. With Cuba’s significantly low crime rates and its proximity to the U.S., this mission trip was ideal for families, especially those traveling with youth and children.

Cuba is a nation with a rich cultural heritage, resilient people, and a rapidly growing church despite economic hardships and government restrictions. While it has faced political and social challenges for decades, the body of Christ in Cuba is thriving, demonstrating faith, perseverance, and a deep hunger for God. Ministering in Cuba is both a privilege and a life-changing experience, as the genuine faith of the Cuban people creates an atmosphere for miracles, healings, and powerful manifestations of the Holy Spirit.

“I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” – John 4:35

Impacting Churches Across Cuba

During our time in Cuba, we ministered in various church services, impacting the lives of more than 1,200 people. It was an incredible experience to witness that God is not bound by cultural or ideological differences.

The worship in Cuban churches is marked by purity, passion, and power—a reminder that God’s presence is tangible wherever people seek Him with all their hearts. Despite facing economic difficulties and daily obstacles, the Cuban church remains a radiant light, filled with faith and perseverance.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”John 1:5

Youth Ministry: Raising a Generation for Christ

Our team had the privilege of ministering to youth from five different churches. One of the most impactful moments was seeing our children and young people connect with Cuban youth—learning about each other’s cultures, ministering to one another, and engaging in games and sports.

As part of the outreach, the team conducted street evangelism, boldly praying and ministering to those in need. Watching young people step out in faith, take the Gospel to another nation, and go door to door ministering was truly inspiring.

“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” – Romans 10:15

Strengthening Families: Marriage and Family Ministry

Family is deeply significant in Cuban culture, and it is also central to God’s design. Our team ministered at a marriage event, where we had the opportunity to bring hope, healing, and encouragement to Cuban couples.

Marriage is under attack all over the world, and in Cuba, economic hardships and societal pressures often put a strain on families. Through worship, teaching, prayer, and ministry, God restored marriages, strengthened families, and brought a fresh vision for unity and love.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1

Cuba’s Spiritual Climate & The Future of Missions

Cuba may be known for its political history, beautiful landscapes, and vibrant culture, but one of its greatest treasures is the faith of its people. Despite government restrictions on religious activities, the church is growing rapidly, with believers gathering in homes, underground movements flourishing, and leaders rising up with boldness to spread the Gospel.

Cuba is a place where miracles happen daily, and faith is tested and refined like gold. Mission trips to Cuba are not just about ministering to others—they also shape the hearts of those who go, deepening their faith and understanding of the global Church.

“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.” – Luke 12:32

Join Us for Cuba Mission 2025!

Missions – South Africa

South Africa Mission 2024: A Life-Changing Experience
The 2024 mission trip to South Africa was an experience of a lifetime, filled with powerful encounters, transformed lives, and the tangible presence of God. Our team partnered with Change Lives Church in Johannesburg, one of our North Palm Global churches, to impact communities through feeding programs, evangelistic events, ministry to the elderly and children, a women’s camp, a local school, and various church services.

“Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.” – Psalm 96:3

Outreach to the Elderly and Impoverished Communities
During our outreach efforts, we visited impoverished areas to care for the elderly. We went door to door delivering care packages, praying for the elderly, and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These moments were filled with powerful testimonies, as we witnessed healings, prophetic words, and the peace of God touching many lives.
We also had the opportunity to visit settlement areas in desperate need. Our team went house to house, bringing much-needed aid, food, and spiritual encouragement. In the evening, we hosted an outreach event where we provided hot meals and ministered to families in the community. It was a blessing to be the hands and feet of Jesus, serving both the physical and spiritual needs of the people.

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.” – Proverbs 19:17

Women’s Camp: A National Movement of Revival
A highlight of our trip was ministering at a women’s camp, which is part of a national movement impacting thousands of women across South Africa. Our team taught, ministered inner healing, and brought freedom to many women who traveled from different regions of the country. It was an honor to witness lives being transformed, past wounds being healed, and chains of bondage being broken.

One of the most powerful moments was participating in their baptism service, where women publicly declared their faith in Jesus Christ. Seeing them become new creations in Christ was a life-changing experience for everyone involved.

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone, the new is here!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17

Public School Ministry: The Next Generation for Christ
We had the incredible opportunity to minister at a public high school, where the students were open to receiving the Gospel. The school administration allowed us to pray and share the message of Jesus with the entire student body—something truly remarkable in today’s world.
The excellence and order of the school were a testimony to what God can do when a school opens its doors to Him. We saw students touched by God’s love.

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22:6

Church Ministry: Revival and Prophetic Movement
We also had the privilege of ministering in various church services, including youth meetings, Sunday services, and a prophetic school.

  • At the youth service, we witnessed a powerful move of the Holy Spirit. Even before we ministered, the youth were already praying over one another, with many falling under the power of God. It was evident that a radical generation is rising in South Africa.
  • Experiencing a Sunday service in the Afrikaans language reminded us that Jesus transcends cultures and languages—He is Lord over all nations!
  • At the prophetic school, we taught on the importance of maturity in the prophetic fivefold ministry, held a Q&A session, and led activations and impartations. There is a powerful prophetic movement growing in South Africa, and we were honored to pour into it.

“For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” – Revelation 19:10

Cultural Immersion and Safari Experience
As part of our time of rest and reflection, we had the chance to go on a safari, witnessing some of South Africa’s breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife. We also participated in a cultural immersion experience, where we learned about various South African tribes, their customs, dances, and traditional foods. It was an eye-opening experience, deepening our appreciation for the rich history and diversity of the nation.

“How great are your works, Lord! How profound your thoughts!” – Psalm 92:5

About South Africa
South Africa is a beautiful and diverse nation located at the southern tip of the African continent. It is known for its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and deep history. However, it also faces significant challenges, including poverty, inequality, and high unemployment rates. Despite these struggles, the Church in South Africa is strong and growing, with many believers passionately pursuing revival and transformation.

Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. – Isaiah 60:3

Join Us for South Africa Mission 2025!
We are planning to take another mission team to South Africa in 2025, and we would love for you to be a part of it! If you feel called to join us, please fill out an application at NORTHPALM.ORG/MISSIONS.

Missions – Haiti

Stand for Haiti is a non-profit founded by Jean and Sylvia Rebecca. It is designed to surround the Haitian people with a community of support and resources used to educate, empower, and strengthen the infrastructure of Haitian communities and allow them to become self- sufficient. In Haiti, students often face significant challenges in attending and completing school. As a result, graduating high school and attending a university is a groundbreaking milestone for our students. We are thrilled to announce that our eligible sponsored students have aced their government graduation exam and will be attending a nearby university in their city.

We are also pleased to announce that we acquired a 3-acre property for the start of a school called Jamaz Academy. As renovations were underway, parents donated their time and energy to make the school a reality. The school consists of a preschool, elementary, middle, and high school. Your generous contributions and donations have helped make this possible. In a short time, we cleared and prepared the grounds, pressure- washed and painted the building, built benches, and acquired tables and chairs for the classrooms; we interviewed and hired administrators and teachers.

We are thrilled to share that we currently have over 325 enthusiastic students registered for school and are fortunate to have 30 passionate educators ready to shape their futures.Our Jamaz Academic students have been in school for a few months, and we’re seeing incredible progress already. We recently acquired a school bus to ensure safe and convenient transportation for our students. However, we are still looking for partners who can join us in our mission of providing quality education to children in need.Your continued support enables our students to access a quality education that boosts their morale and ignites their aspirations for the future. George Ellistons said, “How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it.”

Haitian Proverb – “What God holds tight for you, floods cannot take it away.”

Taking Ground

North Palm Farms

North Palm Farms has yet another successful year to be thankful for. We started the year off by clearing nearly 7 acres of land that we cut trees on the previous year. This is a very costly venture. But thankfully God provided for us, and we could add another 7 acres to our pastureland.

Our herd also expanded when we bought 3 more pregnant cows at an auction in Saluda, SC. This will bring the total of female animals on the farm to 22. The last of the calves were born in January and February, and we ended the 2024 calf season with 16 calves. This consists of 4 females (heifers) and 12 males (bulls). We have castrated 10 of the 12, and we are currently growing them out to produce our first ever grass-fed beef. Two remained bulls and will serve as back up bulls for the herd in the future, if they pass all inspection and specifications.

In February we installed a headgate to make our corral and chute for the cattle more effective and easier to work with the cattle. We were blessed to buy two horses for the farm. They are Midnight and Goose. They were kept in a very small enclosure, and we were happy to provide them with the space to run free and become part of the farm family.

We partnered with the Ormond Centre in NC and did their 6-week course. Through this we received a grant to help expand the knowledge of farming. We had great sessions with the Ignite Youth on the farm, and we shared with them the introduction to farming. A fun-filled time was spent with the Ignite girls as they saw a fresh new baby calf that was just born. The Ignite boys had fun with games. This included rolling 700-pound hay bales around.

We had a wonderful time in November with “a day on the farm.” We had about 80 people on the farm, and we could teach them about different food sources and start-up processes. Ms Dayna Lopez and her husband, Alex, taught us about raising chickens, ducks, rabbits and goats. We even had a pig escape that caused a lot of fun and running around by the kids. We look forward to expanding our teaching on the farm in the future.

The summer season of 2024 was very dry, and we were running short on food for the cattle. The spring rain was not enough to make the grass grow back quickly enough. We did the only thing we know as farmers to do, and that is pray and ask God for guidance. After our cry out to God, a local landowner reached out to us and offered us 65 acres to lease. We were ecstatic with joy and praised God for His provision. North Palm farms expanded and, not by our doing, but by God’s favor alone. To Him be all the glory! This new lease land needed some fencing, and another mile of fencing was put up. Volunteers came out and helped us to get it done. New land meant we needed to get a trailer to transport the cattle and, again, God provided. We purchased a cattle trailer that was in great condition, and it worked perfectly.

The 2024 calving season started, and we had 11 calves born from October to December. Our expectancy is to have 11 more to be born in 2025. Our herd consists of 22 females, or momma cows, 1 Registered Angus bull, 2 ungraded bulls, 10 steers, 4 heifers and 11 calves. The total head count is 50. This is the grace of God. We started the farm with 0, and God multiplied it to 50. This season is blessed, and we have not lost one baby.

The guesthouse on the farm was very busy in 2024. We had 174 nights booked, and many of them already secured their booking for the next year. We are excited to create an even better space for our guests and friends in 2025. We are truly blessed to be a blessing, and we walk from victory to victory into the 2025 season.

Lost & Found Ministries

Lost and Found Ministries is a Charleston-based, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose purpose is to equip and empower women to walk in their God-given destiny. We envision a world where women are healthy in spirit, soul, and body and are living in the purposes and plans of God.

Once a year, Co-Founders Jan Shirey and Alison Robinson partner with North Palm to bring LFM’s bilingual “Bootcamp – Winning the Battle for Your Soul!” on campus. This is a practical and applicable program designed to help women identify and process through life’s events and experiences. In this course, you learn to pinpoint the source, or root, of your thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors and the feelings that often sit in the driver’s seat. Our 2024 “Bootcamp” group experienced great breakthrough and revelation within their personal lives! At LFM, we are about soul healing!

In 2024, Lost and Found Ministries officially opened their new building in the Park Circle community and launched LFM Life Coaching. Through small group settings, workshops, yearly retreats, and our “Bootcamp” program, we are excited to branch out into this new community for the 2025 year!

55 and Better

January We started the year with a bang as the young people blessed us by serving a sit-down lunch, including music and words of encouragement and appreciation. We had a record number of people register – all glory to God. The young people served well; may God increase them abundantly. The Word of God was clearly demonstrated here – Leviticus 19:32: “You shall rise up before the hoary head and honor the face of the old man and fear your God; I am the Lord.”

March The Kentucky Tour was a GREAT success. We visited the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. The people were SO kind to each other. (1 Peter 3:8: “Have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.”) We looked after one another, prayed for one another, played games on the 9-hour bus trip (which felt like 2 hours), sang, shared the Word, gave testimonies, and played bingo. We truly bonded as a group as testimonies were shared. Even the bus driver shared his heart. He had just rededicated his life to the Lord, so we did our best to spoil him with meals, treats, and an offering at the end of the tour. The Ark was breathtaking, and the Creation Museum clearly spoke of the greatness of our God, His beautiful mind, and how much He loves and cares for us.

June We had an exciting gathering filled with fun, laughter, food, music, worship, fellowship, prizes, and surprises. It was much like Psalm 126:1-2: “When the Lord turned our captivity, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing… The Lord has done great things.” The love of God filled the room, and a true sense of family was realized. Apostle Patricia shared the Word with the people, and every person was energized and encouraged.

August A talent show brought us a huge surprise. There was so much joy as talented singers, dancers, poets, actors, and musicians emerged, with some even dedicating songs to special people. It was a delight to celebrate each other and see the talent that God has so lavishly bestowed on His people. We also created a clock for each person, signifying “blessing the Lord at all times,” and the leaders supplied all the treats during the intermission, with themed tables and lavish foods.

December The Christmas show sold out in two days. Celebrating the birth of Jesus and the Christmas season is truly the most beautiful time of the year.

ARISE

Aim. Reach. Inspire. Succeed. Enrich.

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.” (Isaiah 60:1 -2 NIV)

A.R.I.S.E. is working to prevent high school dropouts by instilling self-knowledge, self-belief, and life-vision in students grades 6-12, thus breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty. We empower students to believe in their God-given dreams and equip them to prepare themselves as leaders to live those dreams as their future reality.

A.R.I.S.E. (Aim-Reach-Inspire-Succeed-Enrich) provides an adventure for students that includes personal discovery, team building, leadership development, life vision, and so much more. The majority of this multi-year experience takes place in the schools during the school day. The journey begins with the student engaged in highly interactive group coaching in hour-long sessions over a 5-day period along with fellow students. Each student receives a workbook and personal journal for their in-class work along with session snacks. This journey helps students find their own clear reasons why finishing school will lead to their best future, as it helps them envision what that future can actually be.

2024 was an amazing year as A.R.I.S.E. partnered with Jean and Sylvia Rebecca in the Adventure Part 2. In an effort to support the community of Quada Bouquet in Haiti with food and other life supplies, A.R.I.S.E. partnered with KanpeHaiti (Stand for Haiti) to encourage students to activate their power to be world changers. Each class was issued the challenge to fill up one five-gallon bucket with nonperishable food supplies. During the week’s adventure the students engaged in sessions Abundance vs. Scarcity, Life Happens, Growth Mindset, and In Time (time management). The 6th, 7th and 8th grades of Northwoods Middle School competed as they worked as a team to fill up the most buckets. First place went to 8th grade, second went to 6th grade, and third went to 7th grade. A.R.I.S.E. and Stand for Haiti held three assemblies to congratulate the students on their achievements. The students of KanpeHaiti sent a video thanking the Northwoods students and principal, Dr. Keturah Gadsden, for the labors of love. Afterwards, the entire school was given a pizza party!

In addition to collecting food for Haiti, Northwoods Middle school was awarded $1000.00 for their own food pantry and student needs fund. For every bucket they filled, they received $20.00 for this local in-school project. Our theme for this adventure was “We are the World!”  And world-changers they certainly turned out to be! The funds were awarded to the school during the celebration assemblies.

Because of your generous contributions, we were able to sponsor two tables at the Charleston County School District Gala for teachers. This event is held in the Charleston Downtown Marriott and recognizes district teachers and the hard work they carry out during the school year. We were honored to be seated with the former teacher of the year from Northwoods Middle School as they passed the title on to the newly awarded teacher. The impact that you and A.R.I.S.E. are making is not only on the lives of students, but imparting empowerment to administrators and their teams as well.

As we move into 2025, we envision bringing A.R.I.S.E. into homes and empowering parents with the A.R.I.S.E. principles. To embark on this family adventure, we designed a new website and will be creating a social media platform for parents to connect with Coach Angela. If you would like to partner with us, please visit our ariseint.com website to donate. The harvest is ripe and ready in our community schools. We are ready, willing, and able to go. Here’s to an even greater 2025. Together, we will ARISE!

2024 Annual Report

Home Missions

​​2024 was an outstanding year of victory for our North Palm home mission endeavors. We have had the opportunity to partner with many in the community who have hearts to serve and share the love of Jesus with others. It is such an honor to serve. God still loves the world that He died for. He is still sending Jesus to those who have yet to experience His salvation and grace. He is doing that through each of us.

Veterans Affairs

In 2024, North Palm Church continued its mission to honor and support Veterans, raising awareness about the tragic loss of 22 Veterans to suicide each day. From November 1st to Veterans Day, we hung 22 dog tags daily on the Witting Tree as a powerful reminder and call to action. This year, we also distributed coffee vouchers to Veterans as a small token of our appreciation for their service. Through our partnership with the Tri-County Veterans Support Network, we helped make a significant impact, serving 1 ,022 Veterans and families in crisis. Together, we provided 315 emergency hotel stays for homeless Veterans, distributed 425 Thanksgiving meals, placed 136 Veterans in training and employment, and prevented 16 evictions. Additionally, we adopted 61 Veterans and their families for Christmas, supporting 110 individuals, including 73 adults and 37 children. North Palm Church is proud to stand with our Veterans and demonstrate Christ’s love through action.

CCSD Encouragement Campaign

Our prophetic team partnered with our ARISE team and led two prophetic encouragement campaigns at our Charleston County School District offices. We gave over 500 personal words to our district leaders and employees, along with encouragement stress balls and “Encourage Mint” gift bags to inspire and equip them. They were given a charge to manage themselves so they can qualify to manage others as they administrate our school district for the 2024-2025 school year.

North Charleston Police Department

Our volunteers led prayer and devotion for our local police officers during their 6:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 9:30 p.m. shift changes. This mission has been a huge success, as our officers look forward to our time of sharing and feel strengthened for their duty. We have built a strong relationship with them, and they call on us for special needs and requests. Our time together includes individual encouragement and prayer, leadership training, and team building. During each shift we minister to an average of 40-50 officers.

Angel Tree

This year we successfully supported 10 families and 17 children in making Christmas wishes become reality.
