Greetings Ekklesia,
I hope this letter finds you and your family well. We wanted to provide you with a comprehensive update on our past activities, current endeavors, and future plans. This letter will be longer than usual, but we believe it contains valuable information for those interested.
Since 2016, our team has been working tirelessly to train, resource, and equip the Ekklesia (Body of Christ) to transform culture, particularly in government and politics, both locally and abroad. Emphasizing the immediate abolition of abortion, we have also focused on teaching
proper governance, demonstrating personal responsibility, and engaging in the seven spheres of culture: family, education, business, government & politics, arts & entertainment, media, and religion. We have had the enormous privilege of serving people locally and abroad through various activism projects, defending liberty and justice. (Collectively, our team has logged approximately 162,864 hours since 2016.)
During the 2022 campaign cycle, Governor Stitt and other politicians like Nathan Dahm claimed credit for “abolishing abortion in Oklahoma.” Despite multiple articles praising these efforts, abortion remains unabolished in Oklahoma and any state in the union, even after Roe v. Wade's overturning and the passing of deceptive “trigger bills” that still permit abortions under certain circumstances. Many grassroots organizations, whose leaders previously supported these politicians, have banned Ekklesia from their meetings and encouraged their followers and candidates to distance themselves from us due to our “radical” stance, which aligns with the Word of God, the Constitution, and the Oklahoma Republican Party Platform: “Abortion is Murder and should be treated as such.”
It has been disheartening to see “Christian conservatives” use the innocent bloodshed of preborn babies and Jesus Christ for political gain, power, and job security, knowing their actions do not genuinely represent Christ nor protect the preborn. The overturning of Roe v. Wade and the subsequent misleading information have led many to believe abortion had ended, causing significant disengagement from the fight to protect the innocent. With the combination of Oklahoma’s political machine, orchestrated by “Christian political consultants” deceiving candidates and other pressing issues locally and across the nation, many of our supporters felt it necessary to “put their time, energy, and resources into other causes since abortion was no longer an issue.”
As a result, our team faced increasing challenges, including the loss of 90% of our funding in the few months following the overturn of Roe. Political deception and communication barriers through social censorship, shadow banning, and fact-checkers also played a role in hindering our efforts. We were even banned from YouTube, and our emails were frozen because “abolishing abortion is a community standards violation.” Despite fundraising efforts and a significant personal investment from Daniel Navejas (a $100k personal Home Equity Loan), our founder and servant leader, we have not been able to sustain our efforts over the past 18 months.
Consequently, we have decided to pursue business endeavors to first provide for our families, recover what was lost by achieving financial stability, and then self-fund all future ministry efforts. Let me be clear: we are by no means finished. It has just become abundantly clear that we must move away from a solely donation based model and we refused to beg, manipulate and compromise who we are in order to stay funded. We may be one of the few grassroots organizations in Oklahoma that “does not play the political game” and we NEVER will!!
We have established a parent company, SOLUS, which includes several businesses: Pool Boys OK (pool cleaning and repairs in the OKC Metro), 10XLeads.AI (a marketing company), and Truest Roofing. We intend to acquire at least one business in each of the various service industries. Excitingly, we have another business venture we will soon announce that is going to be BIG, but we can’t share details at this time.
We know our goals are ambitious, but we believe that our extensive skills, experiences, and relationships developed with you and many others globally over this past decade will enable us to maximize our influence and serve the Body of Christ without hindrance or heavy financial burdens. We also believe this direction is in line with scripture: “Consider the cost before building the house / going to war.” (Luke 14:28-31)
First, we need to achieve financial stability and continue our mission.
For those who have supported us through prayer, volunteering, activism, and financial contributions, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It has been an honor to serve you, and we look forward to continuing in this next season.
In the coming days, you can expect:
1. Starting Over: We realize the narrative has changed drastically, and many have been hoodwinked by “Christian grassroots, conservative organizations” who look good on the outside but are secretly working with the establishment against genuine followers of Christ and defenders of liberty. We promise to hold no punches in exposing these imposters.
2. Rebranding: What the heck is “Ekklesia”? By now, if you are a follower of Ekklesia or have read this email this far, we hope you’ve learned what Ekklesia is. However, time is of the essence, and in the few seconds we have to capture a person’s attention, we need to focus on getting them the relevant information they need to get informed and present a plan of action to bring about change.
3. Resources: We are developing ebooks, masterminds, courses, and consulting services to empower the Body of Christ to multiply and maximize our efforts.
4. Podcast: We will soon be relaunching our podcast to educate and update you on relevant current events and calls to action.
5. Monthly Emails: We will continue to train, resource, and equip the Body of Christ through regular email communications.
6. Ekklesia County Initiatives: For those who recently viewed or attended the RNC, it is apparent that the organization is godless and prospers by using followers of Christ and conservatives to fund and advance its political agenda, which is neither Christian nor conservative. Therefore, we will be looking to get as localized as possible, going to local precincts, communities, cities, and counties to identify like-minded followers of Christ willing to partner in advancing the Kingdom of God in each sphere of cultural influence in their communities.
7. Political Campaign Preparation: Since 2016, one of the biggest mistakes we’ve observed is Christians entering races at the last moment without truly considering the cost to run and win a political race. We want to share what we’ve learned over the past decade and equip followers of Christ to run and win, which means we will be identifying potential candidates now and positioning them for elections that will be taking place in the next 2-4 years.
8. Wealth Creation: Training, resourcing, and equipping the Body of Christ to create, multiply, and sustain wealth to impact culture and future generations.
