Church Tsidkenu

Hi my name is Ben Wisan,

My wife Lydia and are happy to be among the founding leaders and pastors of Church TsidKenu. Although both of us have been in ministry many times and I have served in almost every roll and been led through prayer to start booming college moments, this was a little different.

I was about to head back to San Diego after finishing up two years at Rhema Bible college in Oklahoma and felt God very clearly call me to start a church (throughout my life I have heard God's voice many times about big and small life decisions, as I have acted on them and stayed in prayer they ALWAYS work out). I asked what name and He said "call My house Tsidkenu" I said "yes, but what's a Tsidkenu”?. I had, as I could remember, never heard that word before in my life. So…I started to google how I thought it would be spelled and auto-spell pulled it up for me.

“Tsidkenu” is one of the 7 covenant names of God in the Old Testament as in: Jehovah-Rafa, Jehovah-Nissi, Jehovah-Tsidkenu. The correct translation would be "Jehovah-Lord of Righteousness” or since it’s just TsidKenu it would just be Righteousness. So Church TsidKenu would be “Church of Rightousness”.

As we have been putting the church together we have been praying and seeking God that He would use this place as a house for not only righteousness, but also for a revival of his Holy Spirit.

Our Goal with this Church and as I understand it God’s goal is to create a place where people can Encounter the Presence of God and a atmosphere that fosters personal, local and National healing and Revival! Our Only prayer is that God uses us. As founders/leaders we DO NOT take any portion of money coming into the church for salary, we both work good jobs and believe in doing ministry the way the apostle Paul did, by tent-making.

If you get a chance to come out, we would LOVE to meet you and I pray that God would even more spark a fire in your heart for Him, and His heart for this Nation and this People. Come on Jesus!!
