November 2026 Friday Night LIVE

Recap from Linda Scalish (Pictures below)

Praise GOD for another monthly gathering with some of our partners in Arise and Go Ministries! We always enjoy and look forward to our time of fellowship, breaking bread together, sharing the gospel with them and hearing testimonies of what GOD has done in their lives.

Pastor Joseph Jones and Pastor Kimberly Jones were the hosts of the evening, with their son Anthony on keyboard and Lorenzo on drums who led us in LIVE worship. We had people dancing in and out of the aisles and laying prostrate before the LORD during worship. I told the “Praise Team” that I want to take them on the road with us when we travel, they are truly anointed.

Pastor Kim was our keynote speaker and shared a message GOD put on her heart. Our mission field lies outside the walls of the church; we must Arise and Go and put on the LOVE of GOD and shine our light before men if we, the church, want to make a difference.

Here are a few highlights…

John 1 “In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD and the WORD was GOD… all things were made through HIM…and in HIM was life, and the life was the light of men.

John 13:35 “By this all will know that you are MY disciples, if you have LOVE for one another”

Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden…. let your light so shine before men…. and glorify your Father in heaven.”

I’m so glad GOD is expanding our territory. Part of our goal in Arise and GO is training, each month we have the opportunity to teach, train and serve as we come alongside others and the local church. HIS light and HIS love goes with us wherever we GO, thanks to the Holy Spirit.

One of the highlights everyone enjoys each time were together is “Selfie Time” – we hope you enjoy the pics at the conclusion of this recap, try and find yourself in a few selfie pics.

We celebrated “Happy Birthday” TIME with the NOVEMBER attendees… Savannah and Maryjo Phillips, glad you could join us. May all your wishes, dreams and prayers come true!

This was our last Friday Night LIVE for 2026, we wish to thank all our volunteers who have served faithfully throughout the year, making each time were together a learning experience.

To all our partners and leadership team who follow us each month on this journey, you’re words of encouragement have kept us moving forward. Your prayers, financial support and your donations have helped us continue on our mission.

The goal and heart of Arise and GO ministries is our mentorship discipleship groups.

Titus 2 “speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine, that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love in patience; the older woman likewise”

If you’re interested in joining a mentorship group or if GOD is leading you to “level up” in  your spiritual journey, and lead a group give us a call,  we’d love to help and come alongside you.

To our partners in ministry... thank you to Unite Ministry, Pastor Hector and Licy Claudio for partnering with Arise and Go Ministries and providing a venue for the AGM 2026 Fall Retreat. To WORD of LIFE church, Pastor Kim Jones, thank you for being this year’s MC and opening your church to AGM for our Friday Night LIVE events.

Thank you to New Song Church, Pastor Ramon and Anita Foster you are an extended arm in what GOD has called us to do. Your support, encouragement and generosity is more than we can even ask. It’s exciting to see churches coming together for one purpose, to build the kingdom of GOD and fulfill the “Great Commission.”

“Go and make disciples of all the nations…”  Matthew 28:19

To our Speakers... Veronica Rodriguez, Sabrina Roosevelt, Liliana Larsen and Kristy Scalish. Thank you for sharing your testimony and teaching us GOD'S word. You are all anointed and gifted teachers and have challenged us  to Arise to a  “New Level” in HIM.  May GOD continue to bless you and be gracious to you. 

“The LORD lift up HIS countenance upon you and give you peace”  Numbers 6:24-25

This year’s Worship TEAM was outstanding; we want to thank Emeli Mari for putting together a worship band called  “Zore'a Ministries”.  If your looking for a worship team for your event,  I would highly recommend them,  there was such an anointing on them all. We were blessed by both teams on Friday night and Saturday morning - the GLORY of the LORD as HIS presence fell upon us all.

Thank you to the AGM Leads and Committee - Nikki and Renee, Carmen and Beverly, Margaret and Sheila, Kristy and Liliana and Carrie and my personal assistant Gaynelle, thank you for your leadership and working side/side with AGM.  We will continue to invest our TIME with you as you teach and train the next generation of leaders. We believe GOD is taking you all to the “Next Level”.

The older woman must train the younger woman….”  Titus 2: 3-5

To all our volunteers…. thank you for your servanthood and commitment to helping the ministry run smoothly and efficiently. Your love for Jesus and for others is evident in all your do. Thank you to Lynette for creating this year’s photo op area and to all the men who helped, cook, clean, set up and serve. May you prosper in all you do as you to serve in the gifts that GOD has given you. You’re an example of a modern day “Bond Servant” – thank you!

“The son of man did not come to be served, but to serve…”  Mark 10:45

Thank you to one of our partners in ministry, New Song Church. You’re always there for us whenever we need help. We love you all so much and always look forward when we can get away and come visit your church. The New Song family is our extended arm and together we can do so much more to help build the Kingdom of GOD.

Pastor Ramon Foster was our Special Guest Speaker in October. Pastor shared a GOD message called “Enough is Enough”. It’s TIME to put your foot down, God is preparing to take the church to the NEXT LEVEL, it’s TIME to get moving.

“GET READY….” 1 Kings 20:12

Through his personal stories and his style of humor, he makes the WORD of GOD come to life. It’s such a blessing to sit under him and hear him teach and preach. He needs have his own TV show. I told him he needs to write a book called “Enough is Enough.”

Join us the 1st Friday of every month for “Friday Night LIVE.”

Praise GOD for another Friday Night LIVE and the opportunity to come together to worship, pray, share testimonies and fellowship – we want to thank Unite Ministry and Pastor Hector for opening your church to Arise and Go Ministries, we love and appreciate you so much. 

Our day started out pretty uneventful in the morning, the night before we had all our bags packed, went through our checklists and bins and had everything ready to GO just waiting for Kristy to come back from physical therapy on Friday around noon, until we got “The Call”.

Tom got a call because there has been an accident, Kristy fell in the parking lot at the physical therapy location and people from Star Bucks and PT came running outside to help and called 911.

The ambulance and fire department were on their way and suggested she get to a hospital. Well Tom and I drove to her PT location, found her sitting in car waiting for us to take her instead of an ambulance ride. We drove to Ascension Hospital in Franklin and took her to emergency for evaluation. They gave her a shot and took x-rays, thank God NO BROKEN BONES.

We contacted the leadership TEAM to join us in prayer, by now it was 4:00 and Liliana and Tom had to load the cars and head over to Unite Ministry to set up before the guests arrive.

Kristy was in NO shape to walk so Linda stayed back to help her at home, at this point ice was her best friend and the recliner would be her bed for the next week, stairs was not an option. She could hardly stand or walk and was in extreme pain – but GOD was with us.

I just want to say how proud I was of everyone coming together to do whatever was needed to set up and get the job done. It truly was a “Level UP” moment. The TEAM came together in prayer and unity and handled the Friday Night LIVE event like professionals.

Everyone understood their assignment and Pastor Hector message was perfect and right on TIME.

Thank you to Tom, Liliana and Pastor Alex – for taking control and leading the event. Thank you to Nikki and Renee for overseeing the food, beverage and clean up during fellowship. Carmen and Beverely lead the Ushers and Greeters and offering and Kathy Wolfe did registration.

Proverbs 19:21 says… “There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the LORDS counsel that will stand” .  What do you do when GOD changes your plans? 

In Arise and Go Ministries, we call it PLAN G. We have learned to be prepared at all times and give GOD our best but always be ready for interruptions.

Enjoy the pics posted from this event. We sure did enjoy all the selfies.

We look forward to gathering together at our next Friday Night LIVE,

October 2 – Doors Open at 6:00 PM
