Hey AOG Fam!

First, thank you for being here. Your support throughout our 2 years in business has meant so much to us. Every single prayer, purchase, message, hug and every inch of love. We appreciate you for being with us on this journey and for being here reading this now.

For those that haven’t heard our story before, our names are Aiyelis and Josiah. We have been married for almost a year now (yay-April 19th!) and we launched our Christian apparel business on April 9th, 2023 (amazing things happen in April!) God deposited the vision of Armor of God on our hearts during 21 days of prayer & fasting in January 2023. During prayer service at our church, he deposited it on our hearts individually during prayer time and in the car we were both so excited to share what God told us…. And it happened to be the same thing! We fasted and prayed and surrendered towards this new ministry God was laying before us. Josiah completely quit his job and we stepped into it with bold faith because we knew our God wouldn’t let us down. Months later, August 2023, we took another leap of faith and purchased an old bus. That bus was completely transformed into a Christian apparel store on WHEELS! We popped up at different markets, churches, cities and represented Jesus. In April 2024 we got married and after that, God said “Buckle Up!…”

As many of you know, in October 2024 we had the incredible blessing and privilege of being able to open our first storefront location in Orlando, Florida. The first Christian apparel store in Orlando!! Glory to God, the doors officially opened on October 26,2024 and it was one of the best days of our life. What many of you didn’t know is that the store was located right next to our apartment. This apartment was our very first home together. We got married in April 2024 and this was our first place together, surely an answered prayer. In the same month we opened the store, we experienced Hurricane Milton on October 10th. During the hurricane, we experienced water intrusion. We were awake for hours with vacuums, towels, and napkins trying to clean the water. Due to the intrusion, over time, mold began growing in our home. These last few months we’ve been getting sick and the mold exposure just began limiting our health. Nevertheless, through God, we continued working 24/7 and opened the store every single week. In February, our health began declining. We were sick every single day. Multiple doctor visits. We knew that we could no longer stay in the same living situation. Unfortunately, this resulted in losing the store.

Now we’re here at a crossroads, but still praising. In the middle of a hectic season, but still praising. When nothing around us makes sense…. We’re still praising. Why? Because God has never let us down. His faithfulness has shown up in our lives time and time again.

At our storefront, it wasn’t just a store… it wasn’t just apparel… it was a place where chains broke, friendships were made, prayers were answered, community was found and the Gospel would be made known. And that is why we’re not letting the enemy win. We are not just called “Armor of God” we are PROTECTED by the Armor of God.

As we begin to look for another retail space, we need your help. We are searching for a home at the same exact time and it is adding up extremely financially. We know that there’s so many of you that would love to help and there’s a couple ways to do so.

This crowdfund will be going towards the down payment + renovation cost of a new retail space.

1.) Pray for us! This is the most important and what means most to us. Our prayer family.

2.) If you can support financially. Please do not feel forced to. We completely understand if you cannot do so. This is for those who want to support us through generosity. With humble hearts we come before you. Every dollar is being deposited right back into growing this ministry and finding a space where the Lost can find light and the found can continue spreading his name.

3.) When we get the keys to the new location we need all hands on deck to help us renovate. This will be painting, building, moving and so much more!!! We will appreciate any second, minute and hour of your time.

Once again, thank you for being here. We truly appreciate you for taking a second to read this. We love you so much.

We’ll keep you posted on our social media as to any update.

Let’s continue making heaven crowed.

This all BECAUSE and FOR Jesus.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”
