June is always a busy month with graduations, weddings, and summer vacations. So, I hope to secure a few moments of your time to update you about First Place Ministries and the Choose Life Journal book, phone app, and book publishing ministries.
We are pleased to announce that by the end of 2024, we will have completed writing a journal for every chapter of the Bible. So, it seems an appropriate time to begin evaluating the past four years so that we can make some needed changes, modifications, edits, and updates.
We are in the process of asking key friends of First Place Ministries for suggested changes to the website, the Choose Life Journal book and phone app, marketing suggestions, and approaches to financing options.
We have been primarily self-supporting since our inception seven years ago. I have retired and no longer have the financial flow to be self-sustaining. So, finding a patron or connecting with financial partners who believe in what we are doing is crucial beyond the end of 2024.
We would appreciate your feedback about the full spectrum of ministry aspects we are reviewing and evaluating. Please direct your responses to Rolland@firstplaceministries.com.
Respectfully,
Rolland Wright
Introducing Caliatra Esther Wright
Most of you are not familiar with my wife, Caliatra. I would like to introduce her to you. We married on October 8th, 2022. So, we are approaching our two-year anniversary. She has quite a story, which we are working toward publishing by the end of this year. I will leave many of the details to her story for her book, but I wanted to share her story since we married.
I do not recall knowing that she had competed in pageants before we married, but she has participated in two Senior Pageants group pageants since we married. She garnered new titles as Ms. Senior Washington USA, Ms. Senior Ireland Universe, Ms. Senior Ambassador to Law Enforcement and recently, Ms. Senior Ambassador Ireland.
Caliatra’s full name is Caliatra Esther Wright. Caliatra means “Crown Protected,” appropriate for a pageant winner. Her pageant path has been prophetically confirmed by several prophets and prophetically gifted people. Her pageant participation has given her a platform to speak to women of all ages and the most recent title access to the U.N. What this all means, we are not sure. One thing we know, none of the titles have been sought. All the titles have been conferred. Opportunities to speak of her faith and speak prophetically continue to appear. We continue to cross paths with God-appointed connections.
Last week we were contacted by the head of the Senior Pageant Group. Caliatra is under consideration to have her story filmed by a documentary group this summer. Several friends have encouraged her to write and publish her story. The Irish consulate in Seattle has invited her to plan a visit. We are connecting with a ministry in Southern Oregon who have a ministry affiliate in Ireland. Could travel to Ireland be in God’s plan. She is also experiencing an increase in dreams and visions according to Acts 2.
So, I share this information with you for several reasons. We believe that for what God ordains, He supplies. Like First Place Ministries, most of our travel and expenses associated with a pageant have been self-supported. We can no longer sustain First Place Ministries and Crown Pageant Productions from our own resources. We need a Providential provision sourced from God.
We ask for your prayerful consideration in participating with intentional prayer support, financial support, or networking us with a patron.
Thank you for your consideration,
Rolland & Caliatra
