Welcome
A brief introduction
Tree of Life Mission is a ministry comprised of men and women committed to sowing “God’s seeds”1 into the Garden of Earth. According to Genesis, God created mankind to “keep and cultivate” the Garden.2 As sons and daughters of God, we too must keep out the shadows that grow like weeds and cultivate God’s Kingdom on Earth through repentance and love.
God is always with us. No matter how dark the world may seem, the Light of God is waiting to shine and guide us home. No matter how hopeless the future may seem, we can open our hearts and be held by God’s Love. Our willingness to walk the narrow path3 of being “filled with all the fulness of God”4 is the wellspring of peace and joy for us and all the world.
Let us walk this path together, so that through us all things will be transformed after the glory of God.5
Who we are
My name is Josh, and my wife and I are the founders of Tree of Life Mission. One morning in the autumn of 2021, I perceived in a vision the voice of God commanding me to “Feed my people the gold.” Since that day, I have devoted myself to discovering the meaning of these words and learning how to fulfill the commission.
Jesus repeatedly urged his followers to develop “eyes that can see” and “ears that can hear.”6 In keeping with this directive, I teach what I have seen and heard through spiritual perception. From a place of vision, I proclaim the foundational Christian truths about who Jesus was, what he changed in us, and what we are to do with the precious gift he gave. Through Jesus’s death and resurrection, a pearl of immeasurable value has been planted in our hearts.7 If we ask, seek, and knock,8 the pearl will become a gateway to God,9 who, with our participation, makes all things new.10
Like the author of Revelation,11 I have seen the throne of God, the spiritual battle that rages around us, and the victory that has already been won. I know that our world is filled with countless shadows actively seeking to destroy mankind. And I also know, from direct experience, that Light overcomes darkness12 and Love is the power that enables us to be born anew.13 If we faithfully open the doorway to God within our souls, there is nothing but hope for us and all Creation.14
What we do
Guidance
The path that God established for us is difficult, and many who seek to walk it stumble and lose their way. Our writings offer nourishment to those who are famished, direction to those who are disoriented, and wisdom to those who are pressing on by faith.
Gatherings
We offer in-person retreats that combine teachings and meditations to guide attendees into a living experience of God while offering practical guidance about how to become a son or daughter of God in the midst of everyday life. For those who participate in the retreats, we host weekly prayer gatherings to continue the work of sowing Light and Love into all Creation.
