  • Story of Jesus Tahoe | Jehovah's HOUSE of Saints - Founder: Michael Hopkins

    "Discover The Story of Jesus Tahoe, a powerful portrayal of Christ’s life and teachings. Experience this inspiring journey of faith set against the beautiful backdrop of Lake Tahoe." The Story of Jesus Tahoe: A Rolling Testament of Faith In a small, faith-filled community near Dexter, Missouri, there exists a truly unique and awe-inspiring vehicle known as "The Jesus Tahoe." This isn’t just any SUV—it’s a mobile masterpiece that tells the greatest story ever told: the life, death, resurrection, and eternal reign of Jesus Christ. What makes this Tahoe extraordinary is that it’s adorned with over 30 Biblical scriptures, carefully placed to create a visual and spiritual journey through the Bible’s central narrative. The Birth of Jesus: The Hood The story begins right where it should—on the hood of the Tahoe. Here, the miracle of Jesus’ birth is depicted with scriptures like Isaiah 9:6: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given...” and Luke 2:11: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” The hood is painted with a celestial theme, featuring a bright star shining over Bethlehem, symbolizing the Star of David that guided the wise men to the newborn King. This section of the Tahoe reminds all who see it that Jesus’ journey began in humility, born in a manger, yet destined to change the world forever. The Life of Jesus: The Driver’s Side As you move to the driver’s side, the story of Jesus’ ministry unfolds. This side of the Tahoe is covered with scriptures and imagery that highlight Jesus’ teachings, miracles, and acts of compassion. Verses like Matthew 4:19: “Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people,” and John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me,” are prominently displayed. Each scripture is accompanied by visual depictions of key moments from Jesus’ life—feeding the 5,000, walking on water, healing the sick, and preaching the Sermon on the Mount. This side of the Tahoe serves as a reminder of Jesus’ example of love, service, and obedience to God’s will. The Death of Jesus: The Back The back of the Tahoe is where the story turns somber yet profoundly significant—it tells of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Scriptures like John 19:30: “It is finished,” and Isaiah 53:5: “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities...” are placed alongside a powerful image of the cross. This section also features the words of Jesus from Luke 23:34: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” The back of the Tahoe is a solemn yet hopeful reminder of the price Jesus paid for humanity’s sins, offering salvation to all who believe in Him. The Resurrection and Revelations: The Passenger Side The passenger side begins with the triumphant resurrection of Jesus, celebrating the moment that changed everything. Scriptures like Matthew 28:6: “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said,” and John 11:25: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die,” proclaim the victory of Christ over death. As you move along this side of the Tahoe, the story transitions into the promises of Jesus’ return and the prophecies of Revelation. Verses like Revelation 1:8: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty,” and Revelation 21:4: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain...” bring the story full circle. The passenger side ends with a glorious depiction of the New Jerusalem, shining with the light of God’s eternal presence. It serves as a powerful reminder of the hope and promise of eternal life for those who follow Christ. A Moving Testament The Jesus Tahoe isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a rolling testament to God’s Word, a visual Bible that shares the story of Jesus with everyone who sees it. From the humble beginnings of Christ’s birth on the hood to the triumphant promises of Revelation on the passenger side, this SUV is a unique and creative way to spread the Gospel. Every scripture, every image, and every detail of the Jesus Tahoe is a labor of love and faith, created to inspire, educate, and remind people of the incredible story of Jesus Christ. Whether it’s parked in a church lot, driving down the highway, or simply sitting in a driveway, the Jesus Tahoe continues to share the Good News with all who encounter it. It’s more than a vehicle—it’s a ministry on wheels, a conversation starter, and a powerful reminder of the greatest story ever told.

(Galatians 5:13) "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

Jehovah Saints Global Outreach is a 508(c)(1)(a) non-profit organization. What is a 508 c1a non-profit? 508 c1a non-profit is a special type of faith-based nonprofit recognized under the Internal Revenue Code. But what exactly is a 508(c)(1)(a) nonprofit organization? A 508(c)(1)(a) nonprofit is a religious, tax-exempt organization that operates as a church, ministry, or faith-based entity. Unlike traditional 501(c)(3) nonprofits, 508(c)(1)(a) organizations are automatically tax-exempt and do not need to apply for formal recognition from the IRS to receive this status. This classification is specifically designed for churches, their auxiliaries, and associations of churches, allowing them to focus on their religious mission without excessive government oversight. Key Features of a 508(c)(1)(a) Nonprofit Organization: Automatic Tax-Exempt Status These organizations are automatically considered tax-exempt under IRS rules and are not required to file for 501(c)(3) status. Faith-Based Mission They are established primarily for religious purposes, such as ministry, worship, and outreach. Freedom of Speech 508(c)(1)(a) organizations have more flexibility in engaging in political or social advocacy, as long as it aligns with their religious mission. Tax-Deductible Donations Contributions made to these organizations are tax-deductible for donors, just like with 501(c)(3) organizations. Why Choose a 508(c)(1)(a) Nonprofit? This structure is ideal for faith-based organizations like Jehovah Saints Global Outreach because it allows the organization to: Focus on its religious mission without needing formal IRS approval. Engage in advocacy or political speech without the restrictions imposed on 501(c)(3) organizations. In summary, a 508(c)(1)(a) nonprofit organization is a powerful option for ministries and religious organizations seeking to serve their communities while maintaining their independence and fulfilling their faith-based mission. Jehovah Saints Global Outreach embraces this unique structure to maximize its impact and focus on its global outreach efforts. Note: All donations are tax deductible
