Blake grew up in Monroe, Washington and moved to Chelan in 2020. He attended a Sunday Easter service in 2021 at a church called Real Life and quickly got involved on the worship team. Since then, Blake has developed a passion for worship.
In 2024, the Lord called him out of college and back to the Valley. When he came back, he started to notice a need for this Valley. A burden was placed on his heart to unite the community, inspire hope, and help spark a revival Chelan has never seen before.
“I’ve seen what the power of worship looks like. I’ve seen how worship unites us. I’ve seen people restored. No matter what denomination you come from, how old you are, or what your race is, we all were made to worship the Creator with adoration.”
The Lord is stirring something in Chelan. We are ready. Revival is here.
Ana was born and raised in Chelan and absolutely loves this community and the people that give it its charm. Overtime, she has noticed the needs when it comes to the Church body, and lack of resources there are to fulfill those needs.
There has been a burden on her heart to be an answer to those problems. Not wait around for anyone else to do something, but to start acting now!
What this Valley needs is not a movement that will die off with time, but a revival that starts in our hearts that will never grow dim.
Ana grew up in the Spanish Church, and one of her dreams has always been to unite the Spanish Church and the English Church. Not letting language be a barrier, but to worship the same God, in Spirit and in Truth.
She believes full heartedly that the Lord wants to pour out his Spirit in an abundant way in this Valley. God is raising up a generation that will walk out boldly and unashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She’s all in, and ready to partner with what the Lord is doing here and now.
Lord, let your Kingdom come to this Valley!
Hailee has grown up in Chelan her whole life. Her family has been planted and rooted here for generations. She has noticed division among the churches for many years.
With dreams of doing YWAM (youth with a mission) and going out to the nations, God showed her the need for unity in Christ Jesus here in Chelan! There has been a burden placed on her heart for the community - for their hearts to be set on fire, and for a calling in their lives to live in harmony with one another - all for the glory of The Lord!
May we all surrender our lives for the one who is worthy of it all!
Stand Firm - Revival is coming!!
Efren is a father of three talented kids and a husband of 24 years. He is married to a Godly superwoman who loves and serves the community. He has been in the Lake Chelan Valley for over 30 years, serving in many areas. He has been a youth pastor, worship pastor, chaplain, volunteer fireman, and as of lately, an adult ministry pastor in his church. He believes our community is stronger when we unite and work together.
Living in this community he has seen the hardship and challenges the churches in the Valley have been dealing with in the last decade. The Lord began stirring his heart to pray for unity and connect with other lead pastors in the community.
"I have seen the opportunities the Lord has put together and I am excited for what the Lord is doing in the Chelan Valley already!"
Efren believes the Lord will pour out his Spirit over the Chelan Valley and prepare the next generation to continue to share the Gospel to every corner of the world. He can’t wait to see different languages, denotations come together with one purpose only, to exalt the name of Jesus. He is grateful for the opportunity to serve The Valley Collective!
