Pastor Nick brand.

I was raised in Yucaipa; CA. I was 5 years old when Pastor Willie Dalgity planted Set Free Church Yucaipa. Growing up, I would always saw Set Free carrying out numerous outreaches throughout the community.  I was drawn and attracted to the way they operated and showed love to people. It was not until I was a young adult that I entered the ranch; that was the moment that for the first time I encountered and felt the Holy Spirit. Although, I was not done serving myself and the enemy.  I was in and out of Set Free and correctional facilities. I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ in 2016. After running from Him in a 15-year dark addiction. I surrendered to my Lord and Savior at Set Free Church Needles, CA, under the Leadership of Pastor Martin Souter. I was done, at the end of myself and this is when I was born again. After completing my ranch time, I was moved to the second phase at the church.  Within a week I was sent back to the ranch to oversee while the director was on a work blessing. I was weary about assisting as an active leader, hence the fact that I did not see myself as a leader. God eliminated those doubts when he gave me the privilege of completing six intakes that night.  Jesus confirmed the calling he had on my life and since then I knew I had a purpose in the Kingdom of God. Shortly after, I was serving in the second phase and was being raised up as a leader. Jesus showed me that one day I would be a Set Free Pastor.  I then met my wonderful wife Nikki within the ministry. After being advised by Pastor Marty, we were given permission to being reading the Bible together. After six months, we were married. We served at Set Free Church of Needles together, where I had the pleasure of being the deacon and director, for six years. That last year I was raised up to be a pastor.  On December 2021, Pastor Marty called my wife and I into his office and showed us pictures of Wonder Valley Community Church. He then asked, "Are you ready to plant a set Free Church?" My wife and I said, “Send us”.  It was a little rough packing up our 3 boys and the last six years of our lives. Nevertheless, we were boots on the ground on January 28, 2022. We had our first Sunday service that following Sunday. A few weeks later, my brother Nial Foley, his wife Fritsi and their son answered a call from God to help me plant the church. Throughout the past year and half Jesus has touched so many through this mission. There are so many more, that came to the knowledge of Jesus. Six months ago, I was introduced to Pastor Luz, and that is when we discovered the ranch. Pastor Luz expressed that God was calling her to have someone in her beautiful property to save souls, to build the Kingdom. That's exactly what we plan to do. In the process, Jesus will raise up more men as Set Free Pastors to plant more Set Free Churches where the pizza man won't go.
