Becoming Kingdom: 9 Years Strong & Building What’s Next

A SEASON OF REFLECTION

As we step into Black History Month, we pause to reflect on resilience, faith, and the legacy of those who paved the way before us. Scripture reminds us, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). With warmer days slowly returning, we’re grateful for signs of new life while continuing to pray for families across the country recovering from last month’s freeze. Even in shifting seasons, God remains faithful—“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

THE LATEST

Becoming Kingdom has been a blessing to many. One supporter shared that the content was “seasoned with truth” and a powerful way to learn about the history of the ministry and the founder’s background—while beautifully capturing the culture of Houston’s Greater Third Ward. The vlog continues to disciple through story, sound, and Kingdom perspective, reminding us that “we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). The call is not to build empires—but to seek first the Kingdom (Matthew 6:33).

We also celebrated 9 years of God’s grace and faithfulness over GoBU—nine years of obedience, refining, and expanding vision. As Psalm 90:17 says, “Establish the work of our hands.” We have seen Him do exactly that.

While The Kikbak: Birthday Edition with Jon Keith and the official launch of GoBU Unplugged were postponed due to freezing conditions (which impacted travel in parts of the country, including Tennessee), we’re grateful for wisdom, safety, and the opportunity to reschedule well.

MLK Day with RCC Houston was beautiful. Believers from across the city gathered in crisp, cool weather to serve our community, break bread together, and honor a longtime community member who exemplifies the qualities of Dr. King. In partnership with RCC, GoBU helped set the tone by DJing, covering the event, and producing a recap video. Be sure to watch the video and mark your calendar for next year—it’s a meaningful way to celebrate and a powerful opportunity to build new relationships while strengthening old ones.

We’ve also strengthened key partnerships over the past 30 days and celebrated crossing 1,000 followers on our GoBU.tv Instagram page. If you’d like weekly updates and behind-the-scenes moments, follow us and stay connected in real time.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Our first Pilates & Worship experience exceeded expectations. Participants said they felt like they were leaving a spa session—deeply relaxed and spiritually refreshed. For many, it was their first time engaging in Pilates, and they weren’t sure what to expect from the worship element—but it became a powerful opportunity to reconnect body, soul, and spirit with the Maker of Heaven and Earth.

Pilates & Worship — March 28th (10–11AM)
Our next Pilates & Worship session is happening March 28th. After the incredible response from the first gathering, we’re excited to offer this space again for holistic worship and renewal.

God continues to move when we create intentional space for Him.

LET US PRAY

Answered Prayers:

• Financial provision, including a grant awarded from City of Refuge Church and several timely donations that strengthened our foundation and forward momentum.
• Spiritual covering and renewed rhythms for our leaders and volunteers. The beginning of the year was especially full, but God carried us through and is helping us establish healthier individual and corporate pace.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer—it truly sustains the work.Current

Prayer Requests:

• Continued monthly financial partners and sponsorships as we launch GoBU Unplugged.
• God’s guidance as we step into new territory and expanded reach.
• Wisdom and momentum as we prepare to relaunch our volunteer recruitment campaign next month.

PARTNER WITH US

For nine years, God has sustained GoBU through faithful obedience and generous partnership. As we expand Becoming Kingdom, launch new creative platforms, and continue building Christ-centered spaces beyond traditional church walls, we invite you to prayerfully consider becoming a monthly partner or making a one-time gift.

Scripture teaches, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give… for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).

Your generosity fuels:

• Creative platforms that disciple through culture
• Community gatherings that glorify God
• Content that reaches beyond physical walls

If you believe in building Kingdom—not just events—would you sow into what God is growing through GoBU?

Give today and help us continue becoming Kingdom together.

THAT'S A WORD

I walked into a restaurant recently to meet a potential partner. It was a nice place. The hostess looked at me and said, “Please come in and seat yourself.”

And it hit me.

Sixty years ago, that wasn’t possible.

Progress didn’t just happen. It came through prayer, sacrifice, endurance—and lives lost. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17).

Our spiritual freedom is no different. It was not casual—it was costly. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1). Any ounce of freedom—natural or spiritual—is worth celebrating, stewarding, and protecting.

As we honor Black history and celebrate nine years of ministry, may we never take freedom lightly. Let’s steward it faithfully. Let’s build intentionally. And let’s keep becoming Kingdom.
