Two weeks later, Rick fl ew with Brother Copeland to Venezuela to preach. For the next nine years, they traveled together preaching in Venezuela and Peru. During that time, the two families grew close. VICTORY Channel ™ "I believe it was in 2016 when I was sitting in a minister's conference, at KCM, that Brother Copeland announced he was starting a 24/7 network preaching faith," Rick recalled. "While I was sitting there, the word of the Lord came to me: Rick, you'll be a part of this, but let Me do the work. I wrote down that word and worshipped God over it. Our TV program, Rally TV, had been a part of Trinity Broadcasting Network for many years. But with a word from God, we stood in faith for it to now be on KCM's Christian network, which was then called BVOVN ® ." They stood for six years. One day in April of 2022, Rick and Nettie were in the o ce when Gene Bailey, the network's director, called. "Are you sitting down?" he asked. "Brother Copeland just called and said he would like you guys to be new programmers on VICTORY Channel." On Aug. 16, 2022, Rally TV joined the nearly 30 programmers on VICTORY Channel. Reaping a Harvest "Over the years, as our children grew up and married, they wanted to settle on our property," Rick explains. "Our daughter, Destanie, married Branden Brim, the grandson of Billye Brim. They asked if they could put a tiny house on our property and live there. Of course, we let them. We were sowing into them. A few years later our daughter, Christian, married Preston Savelle, Jerry Savelle's grandson. They also bought a tiny house and moved onto the property. Our second-oldest son, Erick, also lived there and worked for the ministry. A few years later, my parents sold their house, bought a tiny home and moved there too." In 2021, the properties on either side of Rick and Nettie sold. A car dealership bought them and wanted theirs too. Rick explained that his property wasn't for sale. "Your property is worth $460,000," Rick was told. "We'll pay you a million dollars to move." Rick and Nettie had decided to sell, that is, until the Lord woke Nettie and told her to stop the sale, which they did. Three months later, the Lord told Rick to call back and agree to sell for $1.3 million if the buyer would pay closing costs. The realtor explained that nobody would pay triple the price of a property and then pay closing costs as well. But they did. "I asked both God and Brother Copeland what I should do with the money," Rick says. "They both told me the same thing: Buy Nettie a million-dollar house! She'd spent 16 years sowing into other people. In January 2022, God blessed us with a fully-restored historic home in Southern California for a million dollars. We had enough money left to sow $80,000 into other ministries and buy new furniture. It has two houses, and Christian and Preston live in one of them." For the past six years, Rick and Nettie have been holding monthly church services in Hollywood, teaching faith in God to those who work in the entertainment capital of the world. In addition, God has given them a new word. I want you to believe Me for a studio in Hollywood. Your own place where I can declare that Jesus is Lord over Hollywood. "We can do multiple things in that space," Rick explains. "We can have church and outreaches there. We can hold ministers' conferences, host red carpet events, and even fi lm movies and short fi lms. Hollywood needs Jesus," says Rick, "but Jesus also wants a place in Hollywood. God is calling us to possess Rally Studios, where people can learn that having words from God will declare their future. For us, when we became Partners with Brother Copeland and Gloria, it's like a door opened for us to walk into what they knew—into the revelation of the words and the light they walk in. I still listen to him [Brother Copeland] almost every day and every day I learn more about faith."
