Where we came from
Jack and Tammy Fairweather founded Arise Ministries as a children’s home, free Christian private school and Vineyard Church in April of 2009. While living in the Philippines Jack got very sick in 2018, and the family came back to the United States in December 2020 to try to get medical help. The doctors were not able to provide help to Jack and he was desperate. One afternoon Jesus walked in to the room, healed Jack and everything changed. The sickness and covid were hurdles in the life of Arise Ministries, but God is much greater than any sickness or pandemic. During covid, with your prayers and support, we were able to help hundreds of families in Manila and in our neighborhood in Calapan, Oriental Mindoro. We’ve seen Jesus move in incredible ways. He called Lyka, one of our teenagers home in November of 2021. His goodness hasn’t changed, He continues to move in powerful ways.
Over the last 2 years, prompted by Jack’s miraculous healing, Jack and Tammy have learned to hear from God and walk in the Spirit in power in a new way. They’ve seen people healed, people coming to faith, and the power of God moving in people’s lives like never before. Jesus is on the move, in Colorado, in the Philippines and through you.

Jack went to Brazil with Global Awakening (Randy Clark’s ministry) a month ago. He could tell of people healed and set free, it was glorious, but the most inspiring part was seeing how the Lord used a small church 20 years ago to change the city of Belo Horizonte and the country of Brazil. A small Baptist church decided to let the Lord lead the church and their every day lives. Jack saw 15 year olds prophesying over American mega church pastors and praying for people’s healing. They went all in on Jesus and His Kingdom, like Jesus asked of the rich young man in Mark 10. That rich young man went away sad, unwilling to give his all to the Lord. The Brazilian group in Belo Horizonte did the opposite, they went all in, and the result is glorious! He is glorified!

Jesus and Zoom
,Last Wednesday night we held the first chapel service at the Lovelace Academy/Arise. It was the first time we’d seen all 13 grades together, although it was on Zoom. They worshipped together and then Jack and Tammy’s daughter Ellie (age 13) taught a class for the school. At the end of the service Jesus once again walked in to the room. Angela, one of the newest Arise kids that is 6 years old and weighs 15 pounds, was healed of stomach problems. In the Fairweather household 12000 miles away, little Jackie Fairweather (age 5) was healed of a stomach ache and the Lord set him free of a fear of loud worship music (he began to run around the house in joy). Gwen, who is now 16 years old and has been with Arise for 13 years, had a blood clot in her eye about a year ago and lost vision, as well as continuing to have painful episodes in the eye. Gwen came forward for prayer and then tearfully told the school that the pain was gone. Her dad Dennis, stood in shock, with his hands over his face. Jesus came in to the room and manifest His goodness to these children, staff and teachers that He loves so dearly. Over and over we’ve seen the same thing, when Jesus walks in to the room, everything changes.

Going, Training, Sending
Jack and Layla (Jack and Tammy’s 16-year-old daughter) will be traveling to the Philippines on January 22 for a two week trip. The Lord spoke to Jack in Brazil. There is to be no separation between what the Fairweathers do in the Philippines and in Colorado. The Lord will use people in Colorado to change their city and the Philippines, while at the same time using the people in the Philippines to change their own cities and Colorado. Jesus is at the center of it all, and He will be glorified, and He will be glorified through the power of the Spirit working in us. In Brazil, thousands of people came to the churches to receive prayer for healing and deliverance. Many people were healed and set free. Jack, Layla and the Filipino team are going to do the same type of ministry in the Philippines. Jack, Layla, and teams of seven Filipinos are going to go out into some of the darkest slums of Manila to minister healing and freedom to the Filipino people. They will worship and listen for what the Lord is saying, and follow His call. Jack will train Layla and the teams in ministering in the power of the Spirit. This is just the first of many trips, and we invite you to come as you feel led.
