July 2026 Family Picnic at the BARN

Recap from Linda Scalish (Pictures below)

All Church Family Picnic at the Barn in Germantown.

Well Linda got her barn; it was only for a day but it’s a start to a vision and a dream she’s had for over 25 years. GOD put on my heart to buy 120 acres of land to use for ministry, to honor GOD and bless and serve others. Fountain of Hope Church and The Gathering Place joined AGM in planning and promoting an all-Family Picnic with activities for all ages.

We grilled corn on the cob, had brats, hot dogs, sloppy joes and everyone brought a side or a dessert to share. Kristy coordinated and organized the event and created a Dirty Soda BAR. A big HIT with everyone – see pictures below. Miss Martha from FOH church brought in her popcorn machine and make ice slush cups another BIG hit with everyone.

The barn was plenty for over 120 people who attended, with plenty of room to play games, set up food, and have a separate beverage station, but with the heat index in the 90’s it was challenging for us with NO air-conditioning – something Linda will make note of when we build our AGM BARN. 

Each person received a ticket to WIN a door prize and Melody won the Price is Right game.

Thank you to Randi Haase and Mother Wimpee for overseeing the check-in station and helping with registration and wrist bands to our guests. We had an amazing group of volunteers who helped set up tables, cook, clean up and serve. Liliana Larsen and Nikki Price did an outstanding job setting up the food area, and thanks to our “Grill Master” John Price for grilling the brats and hot dogs, (the brats were the BEST) – we appreciate your skills and love your servants heart. Also thank you Pastor Alex Erdmann for grilling delicious corn on the cob.

We can’t forget to mention the Family Feud game, church edition. Fountain of Hope Pastor Alex Erdman and The Gathering Place Pastor Jacob Valtierra  - led their teams. Each family had to guess what the survey said and guess the TOP answers on board to WIN points.

All I’m saying is they all need to go back and read the Ten Commandments. I’m sure were going to hear a sermon on this this at church next week. LOL, you had to be there! 

Well, it was stated that the losing TEAM needs to visit the winning TEAM church. I believe Fountain of HOPE church won the most points, so Pastor Alex wants to let TGP church and Pastor Jacob know that his church service starts at 10:30 AM every Sunday morning.

We concluded our day with worship, led by Pastor Alex and a WORD shared by Pastor Josh a friend of FOH church and AGM. He talked about Unity and how when GODS people come together, we can do so much more to build the kingdom. We are so blessed to have so many friends and partners with Arise and Go Ministries.

Well thank you all our guests who attended, hope you enjoy the pics, provided by several people and our “Roaming Photographers” Steven Bak and Pastor Alex Erdmann – we appreciate their great photography skills.

Join us the First Friday of each month and follow Arise and Go Ministries on the road again.

Restoration Church - June 5, 2026

Praise the LORD for a wonderful spirit filled church in Thiensville. We want to thank Pastor Lisa Larsen and the Restoration Church family for hosting out 5th Friday Night LIVE this year. We had over a dozen NEW visitors and some who traveled as far from Janesville and Burlington.

Our faithful Artistic Family – was able to join us and donate another outstanding print to auction off and provide financial aid to Arise and Go Ministries. Were so grateful that the LORD put the Mendez Family in our lives. To see the story behind this NEW print they created exclusively for AGM, check out her Facebook  page called “Marbella Palette”

Several of our ministry partners came to help serve and volunteer as well, we are so grateful for their support. New Song Church, Word of Life and The Gathering Place we love our ministry church partners and appreciate their encouragement at all our monthly events.

It’s always fun to meet NEW friends as our monthly meetings. The Worship was outstanding and the preaching by Pastor Lisa Larsen was excellent.

The Food, the Fellowship and Selfie time was full of smiles and laughter – please follow our Facebook Page for monthly updates and check out our website for the latest pics and all our future events. Go to www.ariseandgoministries.org to follow us.

Pastor Lisa talked about “Level UP” in our worship. She encouraged us to get out of our comfort zone and worship, leap and dance like David did. There was definitely freedom in this church to worship and let loose, as the bible teaches.

Read 2 Samuel Chapter 6:22  says  “I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight…”

We want to thank the sound people, the worship team, the prayer team, the food and beverage team, the greeters/ushers and vendor helpers for making this night a wonderful experience.

Every month we look forward to see who GOD will bring in our path to worship with us.  It’s ALL for HIM and HIS GLORY, that we do what we do. The bible says GO and Make disciples and so we GO wherever HE leads us.

See you next month at the BARN in Germantown on July 3, RSVP if you want to join us!

Its TIME 2 Level UP  - Its TIME to Grow UP

These are the words spoken by Pastor Alex Erdmann – GOD said in order for the church to Level UP, we must become more spiritually mature before we can GO to the Next Level. It’s TIME to stop feeding on just milk but in order to Grow UP, we must start eating solid food, reading and studying the WORD of GOD and obedience and righteousness and TRUST GOD to lead us.

We are so grateful to parter with our Fountain of Hope Family under the leadership of Pastor Alex Erdmann. He shared his story of how FOH church got its name while at a retreat in Door County and the LORD said “It’s TIME to “Take Flight”

The Holy Spirit continues to meet us at our meetings and fill the seats with of hearts of zeal that overflowed during fellowship, worship and prayer time. The altars were packed and the AGM prayer team along with the FOH church prayed with those who came forward.

God blessed us, once again with many new “First Time Visitors” our AGM family is growing every month by more than 20 new people. We love seeing all the church’s and body of Christ coming together  - all different ages and different denominations, just praising the LORD.

Our special surprise GUEST worship leader flew in from Las Vegas; Curtis Eubanks came to lead us in praise and worship; he has always been a favorite of AGM. It’s always a treat when he is in town, and Pastor Alex wanted it to be a surprise. Indeed, it was!

Thank you again to our AGM Lead Staff, Randi Haase, Nikki Price, Renee Williams, Carmen Jackson, Beverely Thomas, Sandra Valdez, Liliana Larsen and Tom Scalish – for leading, Of course, a Shout OUT to Kristy Scalish our event coordinator and Sheila Shabel our stage manager who drove all the way in from LaCrosse to help lead.

So many other volunteers came to help, bring food and beverages, and stood in the gap with us praying for this gathering. Without your support we could not do what GOD has called us to do.  Our goal is point others to JESUS in all that we do and say! We give GOD all the honor.

Join us the First Friday of each month

Thank you GOD for meeting us in Door County, another amazing Holy Spirit filled  weekend with 12 precious ladies from AGM Mentorship Discipleship groups. We would also like to thank Jeff & Susan Brozek from Resthaven Retreat Center for hosting Arise and Ministries - we are honored to partner with such faith likeminded people.

We brought with us FIVE new First Time Guests….Ariana Gilman, Teresa Mendez, Gaynelle Peters, Cindi Demanovich and Brittney Abuya – some stayed on site at the Retreat Center the others stayed at Open Hearth Lodge. We did get a chance to sit in Hot Tub during our free time, not always do we get a chance to do that, so that was a treat for us.

We started our journey meeting for Brunch at Judi’s in Oostburg and headed for Sister Bay with some shopping in between, before we checked into our hotel. Some of the guests who never went to Door County went to the state park. Dinner was at Wild Tomato, always a great place to meet and  share a good meal – excellent pizza & salad. Pics to follow.

Friday night we welcomed the guests and each person received a NEW customized AGM bag with an AGM journal in their favorite colors. Each person got a personalized written note inside and a few goodies from Arise and GO ministries and Resthaven Retreat Center. A tour of the place was given to NEW visitors and our weekend began with the blowing of the shofar.

Worship and short teachings are always a part of our time together, but we always include Quiet Time with GOD in our schedule. Each guest is encouraged to find a place inside or outside and get alone with God. It’s a beautiful and personal TIME – to sit, listen and write.

We usually share a meal on Saturday night that the ladies all prepare together. We opted to make a Taco Salad Bar with all the fixings and a few desserts to share, with lots of coffee.

Each person received a “Mailbox Bag” and encouraged to write a note, a scripture or a prophetic word for each sister. On Sunday the ladies got to take their mail bags home to read at home, or in the car going home. Our theme this year is “Level UP” so Kristy created a beautiful, laminated sign for each guest, and a personalized SONG for us to take home.

Sunday it’s our tradition to let everyone share a testimony of what they feel GOD has been speaking to them about before heading out to lunch at Al Johnson's.

Again, Thank you to Jeff and Susan Brozek for hosting Arise and Go Ministries each year.

Praise GOD, what an amazing conference.

Pastor Joseph Jones from Word of Life Church was our Keynote speaker. Pastor Jones kept saying welcome to Arise and Go Ministries conference. We all chuckled because we call our monthly events Friday Night LIVE – but who knows maybe he was speaking prophetically about changing our monthly events to monthly mini conferences. We will keep that in prayer! 

PRAISE GOD!!!  We did have a full house including more than 20 first time visitors.

We had several people who traveled over 3 hours to be in the house of the LORD, and many other churches are reaching out to partner with us. We have seen a definite increase in our attendance and a Fresh Anointing on each service. 

We would like to acknowledge:

Fountain of Hope Church, The Gathering Place, and Legacy Church, LaCrosse

Thank you to Pastor Jones and his beautiful wife Pastor Kimberly Jones for your warm welcome and thank you to all the volunteers at Word of Life Church for hosting Arise and Go Ministries. Your hospitality was so appreciated by all who attended. Please thank your Worship Team for leading us in praise and worship, the anointing on each person on the team was so evident. I love when the body of Christ all comes together to serve and teach others in love and humility.

Our theme in AGM for 2026 is “It’s TIME 2 Level UP” – Pastor Jones did an outstanding job teaching what the bible says about this. Its TIME for the church to Grow UP, the LORD wants to take us higher, but we sometimes complain and tell GOD it costs too much.

Hebrews 12:1 “Lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us”

If we want to be transformed and if we want to go higher with GOD, we need to LET GO of the weight, the sin, that is stopping us from reaching the next level. He challenged us to come to the altar and ASK the LORD to remove any strongholds in our life. Our complacency and lack of obedience can be a hinderance from stopping us from Leveling UP. 

It’s TIME to release somethings in our lives, and in our church, we need to identify what it is that we need to surrender to GOD. It’s TIME to get off the milk, and onto the meat.

He made a good point, “Why do people come and sit in the back of the church” – there are so many distractions and quick exits also. When new visitors come the church, we need to reserve the front pews for them, that is where the anointing rests closest to the altars.

We need more powerful praying saints in the church today. We need to pray “LORD dip us in the Power and Authority of your Holy Spirit “and give us fresh oil”

Join us next month at Fountain of Hope Church on May 1, with Pastor Alex Erdmann and invite a friend. We have Save the Date flyers to handout and encourage you to register via Sign-up Genius.

Luke 13 The bible talks about a woman who was BENT OVER for 18 years with a spirit of infirmity, Jesus saw her and called to her and restores the woman to complete restoration.

Pastor Hector used this scripture to begin sharing what the LORD put on his heart. GOD wants to “Set Us Free” from every chain, every bondage, and every sin that hinders us from our spiritual growth. Your past does not have to define you from moving forward.

In the book of Acts Saul had an encounter with GOD, Pastor Hector said he sees a similar pattern with AGM. We too have a call that requires Faith and Obedience. 

Get UP - Arise and Walk

GO & Obey - Let HIM Lead

BE Alert - Listen for HIS VOICE

We want to thank Unite Ministry for opening their church to AGM and allowing us to come together to fellowship, worship, pray and share GOD'S word. We were blessed by their genuine warm hospitality and love for the body of Christ. No matter what church you attend everyone is welcome and all are invited to partner with us and help build the kingdom of GOD.

Now is our TIME to carry the torch that GOD has given us. 

It’s TIME 2 Level UP

Thank you to Randi and Rachel for overseeing the registration area. Thank you to, Nikki for setting up, cleaning up and serving food and refreshments and to everyone who brought a dish or a dessert to share. And thank you to Kristy S. for coordinating the details of all our events. 

Thank you to Sandy H, Gaynelle P, and Diane S. for stepping up and helping at the Bids/Blessings table, and for Savannah and Henry for helping with hospitality, greeting. and setting up.  We're blessed with so many volunteers.  

Once again, our newest partner Marbella’s Palette shared her testimony and about her latest painting that she donated to the Arise and Go Ministries silent auction. You can GO to the AGM page on Facebook to meet the artist and view the painting that is being donated. 

The winner will be announced at our next Friday Night LIVE

Praise GOD for HIS Glorious presence and for the healing that took place during altar time, someone was healed with knee and foot problems. Sandra Valdez put it best….

Praise the LORD – What a beautiful evening, our 1st Friday Night LIVE for the year 2026 was held at New Song Church in West Allis. Pastor Ramon Foster was our keynote speaker.

Pastor Ramon spoke to us about one of the FRUIT of the spirit called JOY. Its TIME to level up and live by the WORD of GOD.

Below are just a few of the scriptures he referenced.

Philippians 4:4  “Rejoices in the LORD always. Again, I say rejoice”

James 1:2  “count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience”

John 15:11 “These things I have spoken to you, that MY joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full”

John 16:33  “These things I have spoken to you, that in ME you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.

An altar call was given and many responded. A prophetic word was spoken during altar time that GOD was healing someone’s feet.  Several people came forward that received that word as we prayed for a miracle healing that night, GOD was restoring strength in their bodies.

We had a special guest artist Marbella Mendez who painted a beautiful canvas, one of a kind unique art piece. GOD spoke to her at the Arise and Go 2025 Woman’s Retreat and told her to donate it to Arise and Go. We will be posting it on our FB page and auctioning it off to the highest bidder.

Thank you to Jen Gahagan for leading us in worship, Janette Allen for the anointed Praise Dance and Pastor Daryl Landskron on the sound board. Together they made a beautiful team and led us into the presence of the LORD.

We love our New Song Church family and pray GODS blessings on you as you continue to build the Kingdom of GOD.

God is blessings Arise and Go in so many NEW ways, we really believe GOD is going to take AGM to a NEW LEVEL in 2026.

Join us the 1st Friday of the month as we visit a NEW church every month.
