The Covering. The Tangible Weight of His Glory The Manifest Presence of Yahweh.
A MESSAGE FROM JOHN & LISA As we look back with gratitude, we stand in the awe of God, overwhelmed at His increase and His favor in 2023. Kabod International was birthed 7 years ago after plowing hard ground in Belize for 13 years. With a vision to see individuals, families and nations healed, whole and thriving! With an Isaiah 61 mandate; to bring good news to the poor, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, and open prison doors for those who are bound. He gave us a heart to see that “these”, the ones who were once broken, lost and held captive will be called Oaks of Righteousness, the planting of the Lord to display His splender! These are the ones who will rebuild ruin cities! As the one is healed, family is strengthened, and nations are transformed! Thank you for partnering with heaven to help rescue the one, crush evil, and see family flourish! Your gift has provided a future and hope for many! Because of you many who where held captive now know freedom!
May the Lord bless you, and keep you, make His face shine upon you for your generosity!
Blessings,
oJ hn & Lisa John & Lisa Founders

Ailyn’s Story Ailyn is a very smart, beautiful 9 year old, raised by a wonderful single mama. She began demonstrating strange behavior and verbalizing violent thoughts towards her mom. Furthermore, Ailyn was having difficulty sleeping at night, afraid of the thoughts swirling in her head. Her mama knew her daughter to be very loving and kind. She couldn’t make sense of her daughter’s odd behavior. Desperate for help, Ailyn’s mom reached out for prayer.
While we prayed, Ailyn learned about Jesus and His powers over the demonic voices that were tormenting her. We taught her how to use her authority to shut down the lies of the enemy and replace them with the truth of God’s word. Ailyn is doing great today! The tormenting voices have been silenced. She’s sleeping great and she loves teaching others about her encounter with Jesus and how He healed her from torment.

Ailyn is just one of people that were healed, delivered, & set free through our prayer ministry.

H3: House of Hope & healing
A home where survivors of Human Trafficking receive physical, mental, and emotional healing.
Building for Healing We want to meet a basic need of all survivors, a safe place to live. Our focus is to provide a home that is designed for healing, not just housing. Using the heart of Trauma-informed design, our spaces are intentionaly designed to cultivate a feeling of safety and promote healing.
Building Hope In addition to housing, we provide individualized, strengths-based, trauma-informed, holistic care, as well as life skills and job training. Preparing them to step into a future and a hope. Jesus is at the center of all we do, as we partner with Him and the leading of the Holy Spirit, we provide opportunities to encounter a loving savior who brings freedom for eternity!
“A person of hope’s” Story “person of hope”: a survivor of human trafficking
We had a young Hindu Person of Hope that was a high risk case as his traffickers were diligently searching for him and threatening his family. When he came into our care, he was suffering from panic attacks that felt like he was having a heart attack. While waiting for our medical team to arrive, we asked if we could pray for him. We shared about the power of Jesus and testimonies of healing. We prayed and released Jesus’ Shalom Peace over him and all symptoms left immediately! He was absolutely amazed. He met Jesus for the first time that night as his Prince of Peace! Our medical team checked him out, he was fine! From that day on he knew the ONE who is Peace! At H3, he felt safe, protected, and loved. He began to thrive in the midst of family! We were able to help get him repatriated to his home country. He sent text messages the whole way home saying:
”I love you sir, you mean Jesus to me”
That night, at 2am, we received a FaceTime call from his mom and dad. With tears in their eyes, in broken English, they just kept saying; “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” They were so grateful their boy was home safe! He is still thriving today.
This is why we do what we do!
EQUIPPING FAMILY Revival starts with Family,. Our heart is to equip individuals with the tools to thrive and build kingdom family in their own communities.

A mama’s story: Rona “After so many years of invites to Kabod’s Women’s Conference, I finally gave in. This year was my first time and it will surely not be my last. The first day, I said: “Lord, I want all that you have in store for me. I surrender my all to you, have your way in me.” GOD has brought me to a place of freedom that I have never experienced before! On our last day as I was singing and dancing through the prayer tunnel, everything felt normal until I came in contact with Ms. Lisa. She touched me and I felt a surge of energy that flooded my entire body with a Joy that is unexplainable. I felt something break off from me which was crazy good and wild! I can tell you it was an awesome experience, I wanna do it again!”
A papa’s story: norman Norman is a young man in his 50's. He has been a church going christian for most of his life, but was feeling discouraged in his walk with the Lord. After attending his first Band of Brothers he felt free again, but knew there was more. He decided to join us for our Rooftop Worship Outreach in Corozol. While there, he was in a group with two 10 year old boys. These young men, who had been on previous outreaches, taught Norman how to hear God’s voice and how to pray for people during the outreach. Together, they ministered to the community of Corozol and saw God move!
“The manifestation of the Presence of God over the weekend in Corozal was so powerful. The Holy Spirit experience was amazing; an old man regaining his sight, another baptized, and God showing up directing us to find His treasures! It was a lifetime experience” - Norman Norman’s heart for God was reignited, he felt alive again! He is now a student in KSSM, our school of ministry. He also serves on the Band of Brothers leadership team and helped launch Band of Brothers: Guatemala. Revival starts with Family!
Laughter & Play transforming communities This year in partnership with Kids Around the World, Little Tikes, and the Hands Team we installed:
2
PLAYGROUNDS
One was in a poverty stricken community that asked us to help develop a safe place for their families and kids to play. The other was a community broken and shattered from extreme trauma from the loss and exploitation of one of their children.
We heard their cries and were able to bring hope to two villages. These playgrounds have created a space for families to heal, grow and thrive together as they laugh and play!
“Our family was amazed by the heavy presence of God. The joy of God is what you can find at Kabod. The goodness of the Lord that they receive is spreading around the country by everything they do.” -Wilma
BAND OF BROTHERS: INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION
This year your donations helped us translate Band of Brothers materials into Spanish and launch Band of Brothers: Guatemala! This is only the beginning of expanding throughout Central & South America!
“I am in awe of What God is doing thorough Kabod to expand Band of Brothers and Hearts of Beauty Internationally bringing all the pieces together to rescue and set free the hearts of men and women throughout Latin America. These are exciting times with lots of work and effort to bring about changes that will truly have eternal consequences.” -Herb
"Band of Brothers Guatemala for me all around was an experience I’ll never forget. We saw men get healed and set free from wounds and hurts that had been literally buried deep inside, stuff that they thought wasn’t their stuff, that was neglected. I saw Jesus come in and mend, and completely take that burden off their shoulders. Of the 6 boot camps I’ve been to this one was the first I saw where a group of men were not only hungry for God for themselves but for their family and their nation. I was blessed to be a part of the first-ever band of brothers Guatemala and it was amazing" -Ericson

Catherine’s Story
Over the past couple of years we developed a team of intercessors to create prophetic reports using a double blind method to minister to national leaders, well-known music artists, business professionals, mothers and fathers, etc. God has used these reports mightily to encourage and reveal His heart for His sons and daughters the only way He can.
What’s the double blind method? Our team of intercessors don’t know who they are praying for or what other team members are saying.
In June, we trained 32 Intercessors from 4 nations the double blind method, and how to process and put together prophetic reports equipping them with a powerful tool to share the heart of the Father, identity, and heavens insight etc. impacting individuals, leaders and nations!
“Your training on Prophetic Reports has been nothing short of transformational. Thanks Lisa for this amazing tool you have given us.” -Catherine
Since the training, Catherine established her own prophetic reporting team and has already delivered 2 prophetic reports to High Level Goverment Leaders in her country.
