The Prophecy/Vision
In July 2022, a significant chapter unfolded in Cupertino, California, as a small group of believers came together to establish a church. The journey began a year earlier in 2021, with a remarkable prophecy delivered by Apostle Michael Galleta to one of the members of the church. The prophecy painted a vivid picture of a vision that would soon come to life: a house filled with the sounds of worship, a living room transformed into a space for praise, and a gathering of believers gathering to hear the Word of God preached.
The vision described by Apostle Galleta included specific details that began to manifest in 2022. The house chosen for this mission became the physical and spiritual foundation for what was to come. The living room, central to the prophecy, was soon occupied by musical instruments—guitars, keyboards, drums, and microphones—creating an atmosphere where praise and worship could thrive. The sounds of heartfelt songs and the voices of believers filled the space, as worship became a daily act of devotion.
The garage, another part of the vision, served a practical purpose as a storage area for the various items needed to support the gatherings. It held chairs, tables, supplies, and other materials that would later play a role in building the structure of the church.
The Establishment of a House Church in Cupertino
In April 2022, shortly after completing the house move, Pastor Edgar and Pastora Carina began to connect with the Bay area community, coming from the Philippines. In May of the same year, they shared lunch with one of the members fostering a meaningful connection. By June 2022, they were invited to lead Bible study sessions. Through word of mouth, the gatherings grew as more people started attending.
Initially, the pastors planned to return to the Philippines by July 2022. However, one day, while Pastora Carina was crocheting, she heard a voice telling her to stay, declaring, "He is about to do something big in Cupertino." This profound moment confirmed their calling to establish a house church in the area, a task for which they felt divinely prepared.
Over the following months, the gatherings welcomed individuals from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities. Many attendees experienced significant physical and emotional healing, including relief from depression, arthritis, and even cancer. These transformative experiences became a cornerstone of the church's ministry.
For the next two years, the congregation continued to meet in the same house, praying together, studied scripture thereby fostering a deep sense of unity and purpose. Although it wasn’t formally recognized as a church at the time, the gatherings held a profound spiritual significance. The living room became a sanctuary, and the house, a sacred space where lives were transformed.
As the months passed, the vision continued to unfold. The pastors were personally contacted by Dr. Bruce Allen to conduct a Bay Area conference. Dr Allen is a renowned evangelist in America who have witnessed the glory of God manifest at his meetings and at a very personal level.
Multiple conference were hosted in the next 2 years by Dr. Bruce Allen and Apostle Joseph Ziba from Malawi, Africa. The community grew in faith and numbers, paving the way for the eventual establishment of a formal church. By the end of 2022, the initial steps taken in that humble house in Cupertino had laid a strong foundation for a thriving spiritual community.
This story of faith and perseverance serves as a testament to the power of prophecy and obedience to act upon the voice of God. From a simple vision and a confirmation by the voice of God, the establishment of a vibrant church began. The journey highlights the impact of obedience, unity, and unwavering belief in God’s plan.
