This Mission of Ablaze is to invite people of all ages to enter into a spirit of praise, worship, and adoration of God Almighty. Ablaze has recently purchased 40 acres of land and we are now planning the development of this land. The first phase will be to building a formation hub that will be dedicated to raising up and support leaders who will bring Life in the Holy Spirit into their homes, families, workplaces, and world. Our Mission is Jesus' Desires from Luke 12:49: "I have come to cast fire upon the Earth and how I wish it were already blazing!"

For the seventh year in a row, we are excited to be working with Children's Square to provide a Merry Christmas for the children staying there. Please help us bless each child with a gift, hand delivered by Mr. and Mrs. Claus (our very own Mick and Judy Guttau) and their elves. With the help of employees we will donate over 45 gifts this year. This annual event was derived from the personal experience of TS Bank's CEO, Josh Guttau and his wife, Shelly, and their oldest daughter, Shianne, who they adopted at the age of 16. She stayed at Children's Square various times throughout her childhood, and such has created a special place in the hearts of the TS Bank family. We are thankful for the support and resources Children's Square provides as a temporary emergency shelter for children in our local community.

Ixim: Spirit of Solidarity has agreed to accompany our partners in Huehuetenango, Guatemala as they expand their water action in favor of life, to four new parishes. In order to do this, we have agreed to raise the funds to construct 300 home filter systems for families in each parish. The filters will be sold to families over time, with the proceeds going to purchase more filters for subsequent phases. Ultimately, with a start of 1,200 filters, it is possible that more than 5,000 families will have clean water in their homes, resulting in a huge improvement of the health of the community! You can participate in this effort through your donation to Ixim: Spirit of Solidarity.
