To the Servant Leaders, Administrative Staff & Ministerial Staff, Kingdom Partners and the people who have enough faith to follow, the Kingdom Citizens of Immanuel Temple: In the marvelous name of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, we greet you. It is with heartfelt joy that we take this
opportunity to share the Annual Report of Immanuel Temple for 2012. We praise God for allowing us to hear the voice of God and to follow the calling that God has placed on our lives to lead Kingdom People in a Kingdom Movement.
In March 2012, our lives were completely turned upside down, and as we prayed and cried, God used several individuals to encourage us and confirm to us what God had already shared with us in December 2011, to start a new church, Immanuel Temple, which was birthed April 8, 2012, Resurrection Sunday Morning. In Miami Carol City High School Auditorium, 256 worshipers united with us that morning. In all, 467 have joined this Kingdom Movement, 4 persons have received the gift of Salvation and 9 people have been baptized in 2012, the LORD’s name be praised.
The LORD has given us a vision of a Kingdom Movement that is an holistic, Kingdom-of-God centered approach to ministry that, empowered by God’s grace, transforms the lives of its members, the community, the nation and the world. We have sought to fulfill that vision through one of our core principles: Tithing 10 percent of our income back to the community. Through our efforts to show Jesus through Word and action, we have given over $45,000 this year: we have shared a free school uniform—shirt and pants—with 2,000 needy children in Miami Gardens, Opa-locka and Miramar at the cost of more than $25,000. Our commitment to the community has extended to assisting three Miami-Dade County Schools in Miami Gardens with $1,000 each to encourage them as we share in the African Proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” With our Love on Top Campaign during the Advent Season, we shared $6,000 of Christmas Gifts for children in need both here at home and abroad: Haiti, Swaziland, Southern Africa, Miami-Dade Foster Care Agency and the Miami-Dade Homeless Shelter.
The LORD has blessed us with a Youth Minister, Rev. Candice, along with a staff of volunteers who have lead our children and young people in Children’s Church and Bible Study each week along with our 2013 Spring Break Mission Trip to Haiti. As we continue to minister to this I-generation, we have an updated website that shares pertinent information and allows persons to unite with Immanuel Temple, give to the Kingdom Movement, learn more about God’s Word and see what the LORD is doing at Immanuel Temple.
In this Season of Manifestation, we are asking God to more fully empower us to share in the Kingdom of God and walk in the power and authority that God has given to each of us. In 2013, we are believing God for a permanent place to worship but more importantly a place where ministry
takes place, lives are touched and transformed and the community is empowered. We are believing God for more: more disciples, more converts, more baptisms, more ministries, more opportunities to minister and more lives to make a difference in.
The LORD has blessed us with Kingdom Partners from all across this world who have sowed into this Kingdom Movement, and we are eternally grateful for their prayers, support and words of encouragement. It is our prayer that the LORD returns their seeds a trillion fold back into their lives and ministries.
This report is a testimony of what the LORD can do, in us, with us and through us. We have been blessed with Kingdom Members who have enough faith to follow what the LORD has led us to do. We thank God for the Abraham Spirit that allowed some of you to leave the familiar, your homeland to join us on this journey of faith we call life. We thank you for your belief in the God in us to help us create a place that seeks to bring the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. This report testifies to the world what people can do who have a mind to work, who want to do ministry out of imagination and not out of memory and who believe that God uses frail, fragile and foolish cracked pots to advance the Kingdom of God. We would like to thank all of our servant leaders, ministerial staff, administrative staff and all of the Kingdom Members for joining us in this Kingdom Movement, and it does not yet appear what we shall become. All about the Kingdom of God,
Rev. John F White II, Pastor Rev. Maria Mallory White, Co-Pastor
