My name is Kawika Cornelius, I serve as a pastor in Northern Colorado, an author, and a traveling speaker, with a huge heart to save the lost, disciple the saved, and launch the discipled. I could greatly use your help in just that!
I came to know Christ in 1998 when I was 15 years old, charged as an adult, facing eight years in prison. I had a void in my heart and my search to fill that void led to a downward spiral of failure after failure after failure. After getting involved in gangs and crime after crime, Jesus met me at my lowest place. He revealed to me His love, His forgiveness, and the power and joy of a Spirit-filled life in Him. A supernatural transformation took place! He turned eight years into two years, and two years of incarceration into Bible College – the Lord began to stir His calling on my life to save the lost, disciple the saved, and launch the discipled, nationally and internationally. After serving my two years, I did a year of ministry training and grew immensely, but starting my second year of ministry training, in September 2002, I was in a terrible car accident…
They found me on the side of the highway in my Volkswagen convertible – a Ford Explorer had flipped over and landed on top of me. It's a miracle I'm alive! My spinal cord was severed at the C3 through C5 section and I became completely immobile from my chest down. It was a game changer. I now need the help of caregivers to shower and get dressed, to do daily hygiene and eat. I can't move my hands to brush my teeth. I can't move my legs to get dressed in the morning. As the disability began to settle in, I had a choice to make. I believe that the gift and the calling of God is irrevocable – I could throw in the towel, give up on life and my calling, become suicidal and hopeless, or by the grace of God see my situation through His ability and believe, come rain come storm, I can do what He's called me to do. I'm thankful to say I chose the latter.
Because of faithful partners and sponsors I've had the opportunity to travel internationally, seeing hundreds saved, set free, and healed physically, thousands discipled, and many launched into their God-given destiny! Yearly I take teams to Las Vegas for powerful street evangelism. I've trained hundreds and seen thousands impacted in Northern Colorado and the surrounding regions.
Doors are opening to make greater impact nationally and internationally, and I need partners and sponsors who will be wind to my sailing. Because of the risk of skin pressure ulcers on an airplane with this disability, first-class reclining seats are required for myself and my traveling caregiver – it's a nonnegotiable with this disability, and still a risk. We've seen one round-trip ticket cost over $8000.00! Once arriving at a destination, I need to rent a wheelchair accessible vehicle as well as certain care equipment required for this disability.
I believe God is raising up partners who will catch the vision, feel His leading, and sow financially! I commit to being good soil, and your wheels nationally and internationally, saving the lost, discipling the saved, and launching the discipled! Please consider partnering with me and share this with your friends and family. I feel God's call to shake the nations – but I need your help!
