Messick Family Life Update!🌟

We’re MOVING!! After 14 years on the Golden Coast of California, our family is taking our next steps in life and moving east! This weekend, we will begin our journey to our new home and ministry in Virginia. We have accepted positions at Chip’s home church, which we cherish and deeply believe in, as middle school youth pastors!

There are too many words to share in this tiny post about the treasured memories, people, experiences California has brought my life—how do you sum up 14 years???? All I can say now is that when I was a young girl I would dream of a life in California. This place had always called me. I can only believe it was God preparing me for my life to come. At 19, I was given an opportunity to play soccer at Westmont College, and my dream became my home. Quickly, my home became a part of me. After i graduated, I got a job working at a tiny church in Laguna Beach, which launched me into my full time career in youth ministry, and where I met YWAMers for the first time. After meeting them, I felt God calling me to the mission field. After 6 months of DTS in Hawaii & Norway, I returned to Orange County, as a full time missionary with Circuit Riders. This is the environment God used to shape my purpose, passions, and leadership gifting. I met my best friends, my husband, and traveled to dozens of nations to share about Jesus with the lost. I got engaged, married, and birthed my daughter in this place. Experienced loss and grief and victory. I was given permission to be myself, to dream, to catalyze, to use my voice. No place or ministry is perfect, and I’ve navigated hardships along the way, but I truly believe in the vision of this ministry and would not be who I am today without the leaders who have raised me up, prayed for me, believed in my dreams, and propelled me forward.

I cannot believe our time here has come to an end, and it is a privilege to reflect on what God has done in my life here over the years. California will always be my heart’s home—but for now we follow the Lord to Virginia, start our next ministry assignment as a family, and prepare to welcome our SON this fall!! Glory to glory 🤠

Brian Brennt 🤍

He really was pops. More than a leader, boss, or person you reported to. He was a dad. And an incredible one at that. So many of us were fathered by him in ways that shaped, transformed, rebuked, aligned, and healed us into our original design. It’s like he had an eagle eye and the craziest faith for what was possible in each of our lives; and he believed WILDLY for us to become all that heaven said, even when we feared or doubted. He was dead to religion — like, dead dead. It was unnerving, sometimes offensive, and deeply refreshing. Right when you thought you needed to be put in the penalty box, out came the celebration, complete with ice cream. He relished learning and loved process. And he understood that JOY really is the serious business of heaven.

B changed my life as a broken 22 year old who knew zero percent just how valuable she was to God or what she could possibly offer this earth. And he’s still changing my life today as the messages, speeches, training moments, way he fathered his kids and loved + served Christy, and the pictures in my head of him weeping on his knees in intercession— like he did for a Black American missions movement— still pierce my heart. The fact that my scholarship for my masters degree is named after him is poetic, to say the least. B demonstrated adoptive love, gritty faith, gospel action, and permission granted. I loved him dearly and miss him immensely.

Coach. Pops. Snackman. Friend.
He wasn’t perfect but he gave his all;
rich in mercy, lavish in love.
His legacy lives on,
in a company of people given fully to the Gospel.

(swipe to the end to see what it looked like to worship together the week after B passed; it was the live recording for this album)

Obedience to God can build movements bigger than we can imagine.

The Brennt family’s yes to reaching a generation continues today as the gospel is preached across cities, campuses, and nations.

What began in a garage is now a global
missions movement.

You can be a part of what’s next.

Would you consider becoming the hands and feet of Christ?

At God’s Grace and Mercy Community Organisation, we are on a mission to bring hope, love, and practical care to orphaned and vulnerable children in the hard-to-reach rural areas of Mityana, Uganda.

These children face unimaginable challenges—poverty, hunger, and abandonment—but through compassionate service, we can rewrite their stories.

🌿 We are calling on caring hearts to volunteer with us. Whether you’re near or far, your time, skills, or advocacy can make a lasting impact.

Every helping hand brings us closer to a world where no child is forgotten.
Will you join us in this mission of mercy?

“And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” – Matthew 18:5 (NIV)

At God’s Grace and Mercy Community Organisation, we are not just raising children—we are welcoming Christ Himself into our midst.

Every child we serve carries the image of God. In their laughter, their struggles, and their dreams lies a sacred invitation for us to respond with love. You don’t need wealth to make an impact. A single act of kindness—a meal, a blanket, a prayer—can echo eternally in the life of a child who once felt forgotten.

Let’s not wait for abundance. Let’s act with the little we have, trusting God to multiply every offering.

🌍 Join us. Welcome Christ through your compassion.

“You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” — John Bunyan

True life in Christ is not measured by what we gain, but by what we give — especially when there’s nothing expected in return.

In the hard and hidden corners of rural Uganda, there are children with no parents, no voice, and no means to repay kindness. But when we serve them — with food, love, education, and care — we mirror the heart of Jesus.

📖 “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40

This is what living truly means.
Loving the unseen. Giving to the forgotten.
Serving not for reward, but for God’s glory.

👉 Tap the link in our bio and bless a child today — not for repayment, but for eternity.
