Our first visit to Springs of Living Waters Church, now Wild Branch Ministries International (WBMI) led by Jim 'Yosef' Pierce, a.k.a., Digital Pastor Jim was June 6th 2026. It had been 13 years since we attended any congregation that we considered home, the last being the Olive Tree Fellowship in Albuquerque. Sure, we had been a part of a few small groups here and there, we served in worship at family led churches, but mostly we studied the Torah at home, just our family. The reason... we had been set-apart to do so by Abba, He wanted us to listen and learn just from His Word without any intermediary, and so we did.
I have to correct the timing because I had said publicly that it was 15 years but after sitting down and doing the math I found that it was closer to 13 years. Nevertheless it was a long and lonely time for our family, so I apologize for the miscalculation. After leaving New Mexico and returning to Colorado in 2024 we tried finding an assembly to call home, but could not agree on a place, or didn't feel we had been given any confirmation from God when we asked Him. Our long time of separation is officially ended. We have found a home at WBMI.
Those of you that know us know that we have been operating as TORAH Works Ministries (TWM) since I established this website in 2014 and as an official nonprofit since 2020. The LORD has been systematically working to bring about His will and we have watched Him reveal the truth to many as He goes. We do our part along with many other sons and daughters of Yah throughout the world. The goal, to be ONE with Yah through Yeshua, to have the mind of Mashiach (Christ), and this latest Word from Yah, Evening Word, reveals this specifically.
Since arriving at Wild Branch, all of the doors have opened. Every door that had previously been closed has since flung open and we take this as clear confirmation that we are precisely where Abba wants us. TWM is now officially teaming up with WBMI in every way that the Holy ONE of Israel directs. From my own perspective this is no less than a MIRACLE of its own, since few spiritual leaders have proven, from my experience, to be as genuine and zealous as the Pierce’s in their desire and search for Truth.
In my heart, I know that this is just the beginning of Yah's process of regathering His people. Knowing this, and knowing how fast Abba will be working, I ask that we all pray, that He gives us a substantial piece of developed property outside of the city. Land that we can begin the process of cultivating while learning the Torah at the next level. A way we cannot do while living in cities. A podcast that brother Jim is hosting regularly called The Messianic Journey will be airing weekly as Abba works to accomplish these desires within the hearts of His children. My wife Lisa and I appeared as guests recently watch here. Everyday for many years my prayer has been for the Regathering, Renewal and Regeneration of His people, Yah is accomplishing this beginning now.
I personally have long resisted the use of the term Messianic since it has been quite a Messy world, preferring to use the other biblical term Netzarim (Branches). However, some terms just don't cover a whole topic as well, and in this instance, this is the case. Messiah Yeshua is our King, His Kingdom is Messianic in nature, meaning it is primarily about redemption. This is what Messiah means, we are all a part of Yah's continuing work of redemption as we are Ambassadors of this Kingdom, modeling ourselves after the life, teaching and example of Yeshua. Who, very clearly modeled His life, teaching and example after the Covenant Word of God, the Torah, being himself the Word incarnate.
I invite you my beloved reader to COME and SEE, to HEAR and DO, and to WALK in the Messianic Light that is the coming TORAH RENAISSANCE.
In Yeshua,
Brother Ephraim Hernandez
