HUNTSVILLE, AL – [October 6, 2025] – Breath of Life TV Ministries is thrilled to announce the official launch of Evie’s Treehouse, a brand-new animated series designed to help children grow in faith, kindness, and confidence through fun, Bible-based storytelling. The series premieres this Friday at 7 PM CST on the Breath of Life YouTube Channel.

Created especially for children ages 3–8, Evie’s Treehouse follows the adventures of a curious and faith-filled little girl named Evie, who learns about God, friendship, and truth in warm, relatable ways. With colorful animation, catchy music, and heartfelt lessons, each episode inspires children while delighting adults too.

“We’re excited to launch a spiritual vehicle that will help kids grow for generations to come. Our hope is that what Sesame Street was for our academic growth, Evie’s Treehouse will be that for the spiritual growth of our children,” said Pastor Debleaire Snell, Speaker/Director of Breath of Life Ministries.

Writer, creator, and director Danita Jones shared that Evie’s Treehouse was designed to spark joy, imagination, and faith in equal measure.

“Every episode of Evie’s Treehouse is designed to make faith feel fun, warm, and relatable. I want children to see themselves in Evie’s world—to laugh, learn, and realize that God cares about everything they care about, from friendships to fears. The magic happens when creativity meets truth, and kids walk away knowing they’re seen, loved, and never alone,” said Danita Jones, Writer, Creator, and Director of Evie’s Treehouse.

Through stories about honesty, courage, gratitude, and prayer, Evie’s Treehouse brings timeless biblical truths to life in a way that helps families grow closer to God—together.

Addressing thousands gathered for the 2025 General Conference Session, Pastor Snell issued a powerful, practical challenge: “If you’ve seen God work, say so!”

Preaching from Acts 1:8, Snell likened spiritual witnessing to courtroom testimony, reminding listeners that “you don’t have to be perfect to testify — you just have to be authentic.” He emphasized that every believer has a story worth telling, no matter how ordinary it may seem. “Maybe you’ve never been miraculously healed,” he said, “but thank God no deadly disease has come near your dwelling.”

The crowd responded with enthusiasm as Snell urged them not to be silent about their faith. “Folk won’t know how good God is if we don’t make any noise,” he exclaimed. “When you’ve tasted and seen that the Lord is good, your life should say so.”

He drew laughs and conviction alike with a humorous story about sharing food with his wife at a restaurant. “I said we weren’t going to share plates,” he joked, “but she made so much noise about how good it was, I had to try it.” His point? Our witness should create the same kind of curiosity in others about our faith.

In a world flooded with passive, hearsay faith, Snell reminded the congregation that a transformed life is the most powerful testimony of all.

“We don’t just need more information—we need more transformation,” he said. “Because when God changes you, your ‘before’ and ‘after’ should look different.”

With passion and purpose, Pastor Snell called the church to abandon hostile, silent, or borrowed testimonies, and to become bold, joyful, credible witnesses to the power of God. “I don’t want to be a sadventist,” he declared with a smile. “I want to be a gladventist—because the joy of the Lord is my strength!”

As the crowd erupted in applause, the message was clear: every believer has a reason to rejoice—and a responsibility to witness.

Hosted in a beautifully designed joint exhibit space themed “The Christian Journey,” this area featured four interactive neighborhoods representing key stages of spiritual growth:

• The Call – Accepting Jesus’ invitation
• Spiritual Growth – Deepening your walk with Christ
• Equipping – Developing leadership and discovering spiritual gifts
• The Commission – Embracing the “I Will Go” mission

More than 100 attendees filled the intimate seating area to hear Pastor Snell share three practical steps for cultivating bold, God-sized faith:

1. Have a big view of God
2. Have a big view of the Word of God
3. Document what God does

Following the message, Pastor Snell engaged the audience in a Q&A session and took time to connect personally with attendees—creating a warm, memorable experience for all.

Stay tuned—this inspiring message and others from the Journey Stage will soon be released as part of a special video series from the General Conference!

St. Louis, MO — July 2025

“Initially, I believed that we were invited to St. Louis by the leadership of Central States to be a part of an evangelistic push leading into the General Conference Session,” said Pastor Debleaire Snell, Speaker/Director of Breath of Life Ministries. “But as I look back, I am convinced that coming here was a providential assignment.”

From June 22 to July 5, the city of St. Louis experienced a spiritual revival as Hope Rally 2025 swept through the city, bringing hope, restoration, and renewed faith in God. Hosted at Northside Seventh-day Adventist Church and co-sponsored by Breath of Life Ministries and the Central States Conference, the two-week-long evangelistic series was led by Pastor Snell, whose nightly preaching drew large crowds and powerful responses. The revival culminated in the baptism of 58 individuals, marking a significant move of God in a city still recovering from the devastation of May’s deadly tornadoes.

“St. Louis is still dealing with a collective grief,” said Snell. “And there was a deficit of hope that only the gospel of Jesus Christ was able to offset,”

Each evening, Pastor Snell delivered one of ten biblical reasons for hope, preaching relatable Spirit-filled messages that resonated deeply with both long-time believers and those just beginning their faith journey. 

Each year, Breath of Life Ministries travels to a different city under the banner of the Hope Rally—a movement dedicated to preaching the good news of Jesus Christ to those in need of encouragement, hope and spiritual renewal. This year, God led Breath of Life to St. Louis, where the message of hope met a city longing for restoration and revival.

“I choose to teach on hope because I believe the world right now is in a constant state of anxiety,” Snell explained. “There is always unrest about the state of affairs, a great deal of division and uncertainty about the future. Hope allows people to settle. It becomes the basis through which we experience peace… and the reminder that as believers, there is a better world that awaits us.”

Special musical guests helped to reinforce the message of hope, including Jonathan Nelson, Melvin Crispell III, and Myron Butler & Levi, while Singing Evangelist Tamara Bodie ministered in song nightly, preparing hearts for the Word.

The rally was the result of unified efforts from churches across the St. Louis Area Ministries (SLAM) network, which came together in prayer, planning, and participation to reach the city for Christ.

“This has been one of the most energetic and united evangelistic efforts I’ve witnessed in St. Louis,” said Trevor Barnes, pastor of Northside SDA Church. “There’s a real sense that something special is happening. We’re seeing people come out who haven’t attended past meetings or week-of-prayer events.”

Throughout the revival, an excitement filled the building, matched by a deep hunger for the Word of God. Each night, a spirit of expectation permeated the room—hands were lifted in heartfelt worship, attendees leaned in with notebooks in hand, and individuals both young and old responded to the nightly appeals. It was an atmosphere where hearts were open, faith was stirred, and God moved in a tangible way.

“One of the greatest joys of evangelism is to see people who are unchurched or disconnected from God begin to settle into the truth of the word,” Pastor Snell shared. “From night to night, I saw the word settle into the hearts of people who did not know God was real, who were not sure they could be saved, and who had no knowledge that Jesus was coming again. The greatest joy each night was seeing the Lord add to the church daily, such as should be saved.”

The closing service on July 5 brought the revival to a triumphant conclusion. Pastor Snell preached his final message of hope, entitled, ‘God Stays Up Past Midnight’ and the service ended with a beautiful baptism ceremony, followed by a fellowship lunch welcoming the new members into the family of God.

For those who attended, Hope Rally 2025 was more than just another evangelistic effort—it was an encounter with the Most High God! And as each individual rose from the waters of baptism and dozens more were inspired to recommit their lives to Christ, one thing became clear: Hope is still alive in St. Louis. And His name is Jesus Christ!

The event commenced on Friday night with a vespers service at Praise Fellowship SDA Church, where Pastor Debleaire Snell, Speaker/Director for Breath of Life Ministries, delivered a powerful sermon. His message set the tone for the weekend, encouraging everyone to embrace a life of purpose.

The spiritual momentum continued into Sabbath morning with a Divine Worship service, again featuring Pastor Snell. His compelling sermon, resonated deeply with the congregation, reinforcing the “Excuseless” theme and challenging individuals to press forward on their knees to receive by faith what God has for them. Adding to the worship experience, gospel recording artists Stephen Manders and Decree performed, filling the church with uplifting and soulful music.

The weekend continued with lunch, a youth rap session, BOL Town Hall and concluded on a high note with a concert by Stephen Manders and Decree at 5 pm.

The weekend event was a significant boost for the area churches, bringing together the community for a time of shared worship and fellowship.

“We were grateful to receive the invitation to spend the weekend in South Bend,” said Pastor Snell. “I was excited to go there because it is where I begin my ministry training at the Praise Fellowship Church while a student at Andrews University. 

He continued, “The pastors and churches in South Bend are passionate about the gospel of Jesus Christ and we hope to start a tradition of supplementing their evangelistic efforts.”

Designed to foster an environment of faith, vision, and affirmation, the conference featured a dynamic lineup of speakers and sessions, leaving attendees equipped to pursue their dreams without excuses.

“I believe that based on Joel 2:28, there is more visionary potential than ever before in earth’s history,” said Pastor Debleaire Snell, Breath of Life’s Speaker/Director and the visionary behind this conference. “We believe that there are more Josephs and Daniels now that simply need a forum to unlock their potential and be loosed from their excuses. Based on the feedback of those that attended and what we experienced during the event, we believe that God’s vision was realized and that more visionaries are now moving forward towards their purpose and assignment.”

The conference kicked off on Friday night with a vesper thought from Pastor Fredrick Russell, entitled, “Dangerous Success,” which set the tone for the weekend. Adding a unique perspective were Mirthell and Rita Mitchell, creators of ‘The Onyx Family,’ who shared their journey from being broke to blessed as successful content creators! A mixer followed and guests were able to meet and mingle while enjoying finger foods.

On Sabbath morning at the Oakwood University Church, the energy was high! Musical inspiration was provided by Gospel Recording Artist Myron Butler and Levi. His worship-filled performance added a spiritual freedom to the conference and allowed worshippers to lay their burdens at the feet of Jesus. Pastor Snell then followed with a powerful word entitled, ‘Stop Watching Other People Eat,’ reinforcing the theme of living without excuses.

After lunch, there were six breakout sessions for registrants to choose from, including topics such as dealing with frustrations, comparison, dealing with criticism, leaving the familiar and handling resistance. These sessions were transformative and helped to address concerns and excuses many people have for not pursuing their purpose.

The day concluded with a Vision Plenary where CEO Kim Caudle-Lewis and Grammy-Award winning producer, Kelvin Wooten shared wisdom and answered questions in a panel discussion with Pastor Snell.

On Sunday morning, the conference culminated with a Vision Brunch at the Westin Hotel. Renowned movie producer DeVon Franklin, known for his motivational speaking and best-selling books, was the keynote speaker, sharing invaluable insights on overcoming obstacles and staying true to one’s vision. His message resonated deeply, emphasizing that excuses are the enemy of progress. He ended his speech with the resounding applause of a room of people on their feet; feeling inspired, energized and ready to move forward with their dreams.

The first annual Vision and Dreamer’s Conference was truly a success in its mission. Many left the event with renewed motivation, equipped with strategies and a supportive network to help them move forward without excuses.

“For me, this conference was important because it was the catalyst that I needed to move me into a new season,” said Fiona Peart, who flew in from Maryland to attend. “Unless you get something to shake you up, you’ll stay where you are. This weekend shook me to to my core and I think so many of us are going to be blessed because of it.”

As the event concluded, Pastor Snell hinted at a future conference, promising to continue this beautiful vision of coming together as a community of faith to dream, share and pursue purpose for the glory of God.
