Richard and Kim Varela

We are honored to serve as new board members at Revive House of Messiah, where we’ve found a church home since November 2022. As leaders of the children’s ministry, Kids of the Kingdom, we are passionate about nurturing the next generation in the ways of the Lord.

Our journey of faith began about 10 years ago when we were led by the Spirit of God to explore the depths of obedience by studying the relevance of God’s law — the Torah — in our lives today. “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments” (John 14:15). This pursuit deepened our understanding of our Messiah, Himself the ultimate fulfillment of God’s law and prophetic plan of salvation for those who love Him. Observing the 7th day Sabbath rest and God’s appointed times found in His feast days and holy days has brought immeasurable peace and joy into our lives. These rhythms of rest and celebration have drawn us closer to our Creator and to each other, filling our hearts with gratitude and purpose.

Our family, including our 7-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son, relocated from the Lake Tahoe area to Texas in search of a Messianic community of believers. Through years of prayer, we believed and trusted in God’s guidance, leading us to true fellowship and service at Revive. We are humbled to be entrusted as stewards of God’s work within our church and look forward to continuing our journey of faith, inviting others to share in this adventure with our Revive family.

Our photo, a snapshot of our love and commitment, was taken in front of the beautiful Donner Lake in Truckee, CA—a place that holds special memories for our family.
