Dear Fortress Family,
As summer begins, we find ourselves reflecting on the goodness of God and all He is doing through Fortress 29 Ministries. What started as simple acts of obedience has grown into a movement centered on one thing:
Jesus.
Not a platform.
Not a denomination.
Not a building.
Jesus.
Our heart has always been to create places where people can encounter the presence of God, be strengthened in their faith, and discover the purpose He has placed inside them.
The Church was never meant to be confined to four walls.
The Church is people.
The Church is you.
Just as we see throughout the book of Acts, believers gathered in homes, around tables, in public places, and throughout their communities. They prayed together, worshiped together, broke bread together, and cared for one another. Their faith wasn’t something they attended—it was something they lived.
That is the heartbeat of Fortress 29 Ministries.
Kingdom Table: A Place at the Table
One of the greatest blessings of this ministry has been watching God move through Kingdom Table gatherings.
Around a simple table, strangers become family. Testimonies are shared. Prayer flows freely. The Holy Spirit ministers in powerful ways. Walls come down. Hearts are encouraged.
Kingdom Table is more than an event.
It’s a reminder that every person has a seat at the Father’s table.
As we continue hosting these gatherings, we ask for your prayers and support. Every gathering requires preparation, supplies, food, materials, and resources to create a welcoming environment where people can encounter Jesus.

Make Room Worship
There is something powerful that happens when believers simply make room for God.
No agenda.
No performance.
No striving.
Just worship.
Make Room Worship gatherings were born from a desire to create space for the presence of God to dwell among His people.
We’ve witnessed tears, healing, freedom, encouragement, and renewed passion for Jesus during these gatherings.
As we look ahead, we are raising support to continue hosting these worship nights and expanding opportunities for people to encounter God’s presence in a fresh way.

Fortress School of the Spirit
One of the dreams God placed on our hearts is the launch of the Fortress School of the Spirit.
Our desire is to equip believers to:
• Know the Holy Spirit personally
• Grow in biblical discipleship
• Understand their identity in Christ
• Develop spiritual gifts in a healthy, biblical way
• Learn how to walk with Jesus daily
• Become mature followers of Christ who impact their communities
We believe the Church needs disciples—not just attendees.
As we prepare curriculum, resources, materials, and future locations, we are actively raising support to help bring this vision to life.

Mobile Fortress Nights: Bringing Hope to the Streets
Perhaps one of the most exciting things on the horizon is Mobile Fortress Nights.
The vision is simple:
What if instead of asking people to come to church, we brought the love of Jesus directly to them?
What if worship showed up in apartment complexes?
What if prayer happened in neighborhoods?
What if communities experienced hope right where they live?
Mobile Fortress Nights will bring worship, prayer, encouragement, food, ministry, and community directly into neighborhoods across San Antonio and beyond.
Our goal is to partner with apartment complexes, neighborhoods, and communities that desire to see hope restored and lives transformed.
We believe revival doesn’t belong inside a building.
It belongs wherever God’s people are willing to carry His presence.
If you would like Mobile Fortress Nights to come to your neighborhood, apartment complex, church, or community gathering, we’d love to connect with you.

A Call to Awaken
We believe God is calling His people to awaken in this hour—to rise from complacency, step into their God-given purpose, and become the Church He intended us to be. The call is not merely to attend services or occupy seats, but to carry His presence into our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities. It is a call to love boldly, serve faithfully, and walk daily in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Scripture declares, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light” (Ephesians 5:14). Likewise, Isaiah proclaims, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee” (Isaiah 60:1). These verses are more than encouragement—they are an invitation to step into the fullness of what God has prepared for His people.
We believe there are dormant gifts waiting to be activated, callings waiting to be embraced, and dreams waiting to be revived. God is stirring hearts, igniting faith, and awakening a generation of believers who will carry His love and truth into the world. The world does not need more spectators; it needs sons and daughters who are willing to be the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing hope, healing, and the reality of His Kingdom wherever they go.
Our prayer is that we would be found faithful in this season and that we would make room for His presence, follow His leading, and carry revival wherever He sends us. Thank you for praying, partnering, serving, and believing alongside us. Together, we are not simply building programs or hosting events; we are investing in lives, strengthening communities, and participating in the eternal work of God’s Kingdom.
The world does not need more spectators. It needs sons and daughters carrying the presence of Jesus.
With love,
Nicole Charles
