    Alison Aulakh: Overcoming Long COVID, Finding Complete Forgiveness, and Standing Bold in Identity

    Alison Aulakh is a Spiritually Sober NYC Christian Comedian Making Subway Rats Smile. She is the CEO of a New York based Comedy Production Company established in November 2016 called The Sober Life of Floppy Fish LLC. She got her start in comedy by doing funny train announcements on the subway and streets of New York. Alison teaches the bible through stand up comedy in a fish costume because a fish is a symbol for Jesus. She studied improv and acting at The New School for Drama. Many ask her, what does it mean to be spiritually sober? She originally came up with the name Sober Floppy Fish because she doesn't drink, but later in life found a deeper meaning behind the name. After an encounter with Jesus, where Alison had physical chalk on her hand where Jesus had the nails in his hands on the cross, she then understood what it meant to be a Sober Floppy Fish. Being spiritually sober meant that Alison would begin her journey towards clean comedy. So, what do floppy fish have to do with being spiritually sober? It means that Alison confidently embraces her imperfections as a Christian. She's a fish that's not scared to flop. She's that fish out of water that keeps on swimming. If she can make even one person laugh when they're having a difficult day or inspire someone to be brave, then Alison knows she's on the right path. Alison Aulakh uses her voice and platform to create universal laughter, peace, joy, and a safe space for acceptance without judgment. She shines Jesus' light and teaches the bible through comedy in a sea of darkness. Her fearless and cringey comedy on stage makes it a memorable experience for all. Her comedy reminds us that we have more in common than we think and it's about time we share in love and laughter. Alison performed at the Tunnel of Oppression event in the East Village, NY, to support the issues of race and injustice. The film she wrote, produced, directed, and starred in called "The In Between" shines a light on the lack of diversity in theatre for mixed race actors. As someone who is mixed race (half Indian/Pakistani and half Irish/British) with dual citizenship (US / British Citizenship) it's an issue close to her heart. She has worked in a variety of mediums such as film, TV, commercials, voiceover, music videos, and theatre. She grew up near San Francisco, CA and began acting at the age of five. She starred in five TV pilots and has appeared in commercials for HP, John Muir Hospital, Collective Heath, and Lime Dating App among others. Alison did voiceover for a video game with EA Games as the lead Young Jessica. She was featured on Chance on Hulu. She was featured in several Bollywood Feature Films, the movie "Reality TV Movie" and the docudrama "Man Moment Machine" on the History Channel. She has appeared in several Off-off Broadway shows in Times Square, including her lead role as Girl in "Drink and a Drag" at Manhattan Rep., Terry in the "Nighty Nite Show" at the PIT Loft, Shade/Lobster in "Emission" at Producers' Club Theatres, and Old Lady in "Double Take" at Manhattan Rep. Alison was the only undergraduate to be cast in two productions with the MFA graduating class of 2015. She performed in both The New School for Drama's MFA New Visions Directing Festival and New Voices Playwriting Festival where she played Girl with Telescope in "The Skriker," and Party Girl in "Temporal." Her bookings from The New School for Drama include: Lili in "Women and Wallace," and Rebecca in "What I Found in Montana. Alison booked the Lead in the TV Pilot "Girl Power," and a supporting role in the TV Pilot "Dual Arrangements." She's worked with TVASIA on the TV show "Samachari News" where she wrote her own comedy sketches, shining a light on cultural appropriation, women's rights, the Me Too Movement, and cultural identity. Alison advocates for immigrant rights, helps the homeless, and speaks out for justice for marginalized groups through her Non-Profit Organization called "The Aulakh Initiative." Alison previously attended Marin School of the Arts in California where she graduated with honors in the theatre arts department. She graduated with honors and a 4.0 from The New School for Drama in 2017 where she earned her BFA in Dramatic Arts with a concentration in Acting and a Minor in Filmmaking. www.soberfloppyfish.com

    Louis M Wade Jr.: Using Music, Television, and Media to Preserve a Nation for Christ

    Rev. Louis Maximo Wade Jr. was born on March 22, 1970, in Dangriga and is the only son among five children. From an early age, Wade demonstrated a passion for education, leadership, and service, qualities that would later define his life’s work in ministry, media, and national development. Wade pursued his academic journey at Belize Technical College, where he earned an Associate Degree in Arts and Science. He later continued his studies at University of Belize, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education. Dedicated to strengthening his spiritual calling, he most recently graduated in 2023 from Seminario Teologico Nazareno with a Bachelor in Christian Ministry. Before entering full-time ministry and media, Wade began his professional career as an educator, teaching Biology and Chemistry at high schools in Belize City and Belmopan. His passion for music and ministry also led him to become the founder and lead singer of the Christian band D-Revelation, one of Belize’s most popular gospel groups. Under his leadership, the band achieved historic success, becoming one of the few Belizean bands to tour both the United States and Canada, while also selling out the Belize Civic Center on multiple occasions. During his years with D-Revelation, Wade married the band’s female lead singer, Shasta Wade. Together, on May 8, 2003, they founded Shamax Production Ltd, which grew into one of the five largest cable media companies in Belize and became the only media house based in the nation’s capital city, Belmopan. Through Shamax Productions and PlusTV, the couple built a respected household brand known for community-centered programming, news, and Christian content. After dedicating 17 years to building the company, in 2020, during the pandemic, Wade shifted much of his focus toward agriculture and personal wellness through gardening, a passion that inspired the creation of a new company, Blessed Gardens. Although he now spends much of his time cultivating his garden, his commitment to faith and service remains central to his life. Rev. Wade currently serves as the pastor of the Belmopan Church of the Nazarene, where he continues to minister. In addition to his pastoral responsibilities, Wade was recently appointed as the Senator for the Churches in Belize, further expanding his role in national leadership and public service. A devoted family man, Rev. Louis Maximo Wade Jr. is the proud father of four sons. Through education, music, media, ministry, and public service, he has made a lasting contribution to Belizean society and continues to inspire many through his dedication to faith, family, and community development.

    Lori Kate Lowenhar: From Music Education to Co-Founding One Love Ministry in Israel

    Lori Kate Lowenhar was born and raised in Elkhart, Indiana, in a home with a Jewish father and a Gentile mother. At a young age, she embraced Yeshua (Jesus’ Hebrew name) into her life. After ten years of earnest prayers, her Jewish father also came to faith in his Messiah. Music played a central role in her family throughout her childhood, with Lori Kate learning both the clarinet and piano. She went on to study at Cedarville University, where she earned a degree in music education. After graduating, she joined The Liberated Wailing Wall, Jews for Jesus’ traveling musical evangelism team, serving for two years. It was during this time that the Lord began directing her heart toward Israel. In 1998, she became a dual citizen of Israel and the United States. Looking back, Lori Kate recognizes how God used her musical and evangelistic training to prepare her for a greater purpose—moving to a foreign land, learning a new language, and raising a family in Israel. In addition to being a devoted wife and mother of four, she is a highly sought-after music teacher in the Jezreel Valley, instructing students in clarinet, saxophone, flute, piano, and recorder. She and her husband, Ilan, co-founded One Lev (One Heart), an international music ministry that performs in Israel and abroad. Their ensemble includes both Messianic Jewish and Christian Arab musicians, uniting in worship to share the Gospel throughout the land. Since the war of October 7th, Lori Kate and her family have experienced God’s grace and mercy despite the deep struggles and division that have gripped the nation of Israel. The Lord has opened new doors for ministry through music, home Bible fellowships (in both English and Hebrew), and a women’s Bible study. By God’s grace, both Jewish and Arab seekers are attending and discovering the hope found in His Word. Most recently, Lori Kate co-founded Katzir (Harvest), a new ministry in partnership with two other women—an Israeli Arab Christian and a Gentile believer from Canada. Through Katzir, they pray together monthly via Zoom with women from around the world and minister locally by hosting Shabbat meals, coffee gatherings, Bible studies, and even pickleball games as a way to build relationships and share God’s love. Lori Kate is passionate about sharing stories of hope and encouragement, especially in challenging times. She desires to inspire others to seek God wholeheartedly and invite His presence into every aspect of their lives. Learn more about One Lev (One Heart) at http://www.onelevoneheart.com .

    Ishaya Gabriel Balarabe: Interpreting Dreams, Standing Firm on Campus, and Teen Ministry

    Ishaye Gabriel Balarabe is a Nigerian pastor, educator, author, youth formation advocate and founder of the Teenage Formation and Leadership Initiative (TFLI), a movement committed to helping teenagers understand who they are, discover purpose and develop the capacity to lead and serve. His work with teenagers is deeply rooted in his own journey through pain, identity crisis, personal struggles and transformation. Having experienced seasons that challenged his understanding of identity, purpose and direction, Gabriel came through that journey with a conviction that became central to his life: young people should have someone to walk with them while they are still discovering who they are and who they can become. He captured part of this journey in his book, Still Standing Here, which reflects the movement from pain and uncertainty towards faith, identity, purpose and hope. What began as a personal journey of transformation has grown into a passion for helping teenagers navigate their own journeys. Through TFLI, Gabriel has reached more than 1,300 teenagers across 17 Nigerian states, working with young people in schools and communities and engaging families and young people beyond Nigeria. The initiative has developed a growing international presence, with connections and participants across the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ghana and the Democratic Republic of Congo, among others. His work focuses on teenage formation, identity, purpose, emotional intelligence, experiential discipleship, life navigation, leadership and service, helping young people move beyond simply becoming successful to becoming grounded, purposeful and responsible people. Gabriel is a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Nigeria and brings together pastoral ministry, teaching, writing and youth formation in his work. He holds degrees and professional qualifications in Geography and Christian Religious Studies, disciplines that have strengthened his understanding of people, communities, faith and the social realities that shape young lives. He is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Population Studies at the University of Jos. At the heart of Gabriel's story is a simple conviction: pain does not have to be the end of a person's story. It can become the soil from which purpose grows. His journey from pain and identity struggles to purpose and service continues to shape his commitment to helping the next generation stand, discover who they are and become who they were created to be."

    Vincent William: From Depression and Seeking Purpose to Discovering Sonship in Latvia

    For years, I thought becoming a better version of myself meant striving harder, fixing what was wrong with me, and proving that I was worthy of the life I wanted. But through my own journey of healing, faith, and personal transformation, I discovered something that completely changed the way I live: I don't have to earn what God has already made available to me. As I learned to renew my mind, heal old wounds, and understand my identity in Christ, I began experiencing a level of peace, freedom, confidence, and abundance that I had spent years trying to achieve through performance. Now, as a Christian life coach and YouTube creator, I help believers make that same shift — from striving, performing, and living from fear to actually receiving the life Jesus came to give them. My conversations are especially powerful for audiences who love God but still find themselves stuck in overthinking, insecurity, self-sabotage, people-pleasing, scarcity, or the feeling that they have to work harder to become "good enough." I bring a perspective that bridges faith, psychology, identity, mindset, and practical transformation in a way that is honest, relatable, and deeply applicable. Or this one (please choose which one you prefer). Vincent is a 24-year-old German-Latvian entrepreneur and coach. His own transformation from a fearful, slave mentality to the confidence of knowing he's loved as a son became the foundation for the coaching business he now runs, helping others make that same shift. He walked away from school to go all-in on this calling with no backup plan, and now shares that message through one-on-one and group coaching and a growing YouTube channel focused on faith, identity, and breaking free from fear.

    Manoj Jubal: Pursuing Peace, Holiness, and Transformation Through Kingdom Worship

    In 2020, Pastor Manoj Jubal received a divine vision from God during a 40-day fasting and prayer period. While seeking the Lord in prayer, Pastor Jubal was given the word “Revolution” and a directive to work towards bringing about a revolution. In response, he humbly sought clarification from God, expressing his commitment to serving in expanding the kingdom of God rather than pursuing a political path. In response, God directed him to “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14 (KJV), emphasizing the importance of promoting love, peace, and unity among all people, regardless of their denominational or faith backgrounds. Inspired by this divine guidance, Pastor Jubal shared the vision with his family, and together they fervently prayed and formulated plans to establish a new church. In January 2021, Pastor Manoj commenced prayer gatherings with his four family members, and within five months, the group grew to 12 members. Subsequently, in May 2021, an opportunity arose to launch the church, and a small space was rented to accommodate worship services, prayer meetings, and other church operations. This new congregation was named Revolution Church & Ministries (RCM). What initially began as a local movement in 2021 has now birthed a single church, with aspirations for global outreach. The vision is to see people redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, empowered by His Holy Spirit, and transformed by His Word, working together with a united vision and shared values in His Kingdom. RCM has evolved into an organization with a distinct DNA that aligns with fulfilling the Great Commission through evangelism, nurturing care and development through discipleship, and making an impact on future generations through promoting peace and unity. As a church and organization, RCM is committed to following God’s progressive vision and championing His promises. The core purpose of RCM is to be at the forefront of God’s work, driven by the imperative to “follow peace with all,” which underscores the very essence of its existence.
