THE SILENT WAR
The SILENT WAR
From my great-grandfather founding a church under a tree, to my father enduring brutal beatings with chains and machetes, to my own capture and escape from men determined to end my life, this is a story of courage and divine protection.
The narrative also recounts the assassination of Hanson, the first Caucasian Pastor to serve our churches, and the burning of the first church built by my grandfather, events that tested our faith yet never broke it.
This book, The Silent War blends high-stakes thriller intensity with inspirational Christian testimony. Through prophetic visions, miraculous healings, and unwavering faith, it demonstrates how God triumphs over darkness and equips believers to stand firm in adversity.
This manuscript is designed to inspire readers. I believe it will resonate strongly with audiences seeking dramatic, faith-filled true stories of survival, endurance, and divine deliverance.

Some of Our Topics
The Truth About Angels
Angels are not distant, decorative figures in Scripture; they are powerful, purposeful servants of God assigned to aid His people. In this eye-opening session, Monica takes her audience on a deep dive into the biblical truth about who angels are, what they do, and how believers can tap into the benefits of their ministry. With practical insight and scriptural authority, she reveals how to activate angelic assistance in everyday life, aligning with God’s design for supernatural protection, provision, and breakthrough. This teaching leaves audiences not only informed but empowered to walk with Heaven’s help on earth.
Hope
Hope is the believer’s lifeline, the confident expectation of God’s favor even when circumstances look hopeless. Monica paints a vivid picture of hope as a pregnant mother anticipating the birth of her child, and as the sure promise of reunion with loved ones in eternity. This teaching reveals hope as the great, undeserved favor of Yahweh that sustains us when all seems lost. Audiences will be inspired to hold fast to this divine expectation, finding strength and peace that only Christ can provide amid life’s darkest storms.
Managing Grief
Grief is not a weakness; it’s a deeply human experience that demands understanding and care. Rise Up Ministries excels in guiding people through grief and bereavement with compassion and wisdom, emphasizing that grief should never be idolized or rushed. Recognizing that everyone’s journey is unique, she addresses grief’s many faces, not only from loss of loved ones but also from depression, fear, fear of failure, neglect, divorce, material loss, and abandonment. This teaching equips audiences to navigate grief with healthy boundaries and God’s healing grace, finding restoration at their own pace.
The Devil’s Playground
The battlefield of the mind is where the enemy loves to set up camp; subtle thought-dropping becomes destructive thought-lodging if left unchecked. Monica exposes the common tactics the devil uses to infiltrate our minds, often unnoticed until he’s already winning. In this eye-opening session, she equips believers to recognize, resist, and overcome these schemes, reclaiming mental freedom through spiritual awareness and authority. This is a powerful teaching that breaks chains and ushers believers into victory over the enemy’s strongest playground.
Captured
Monica shares the harrowing true story of being captured, dragged, and brutally beaten, her head and knees struck with baseball bats, then dumped and left for dead. In this gripping testimony, she reveals the unexpected grace found even in the darkest moments, including the life-changing encounter with the pagan worshipper who found her and needed salvation himself. Beyond the personal trauma, Monica exposes how those in authority can exploit the vulnerable, challenging audiences to recognize injustice and rise with faith and courage.
Dreams and Visions
Dreams and visions are divine windows into God’s plans, but understanding them requires spiritual sensitivity and wisdom. Drawing from her own lifelong journey of prophetic encounters, Monica teaches how to interpret these heavenly messages, revealing what God is communicating, how to prepare for what lies ahead, and how to walk in alignment with His timing. Like a father guiding a child, God gradually entrusts more to those who learn to listen. This session equips the audience to become attuned to the Holy Spirit, unlocking a powerful dimension of God’s revelation and purpose in their lives.
The Nine Raptures of Church
The Bible reveals nine distinct rapture-type events, each a divine example of God’s power to catch His people away in supernatural rescue. In this compelling teaching, Monica explores each of these biblical moments, demonstrating that the ultimate rapture of the Church is not only inevitable but perfectly aligned with God’s historic pattern. Audiences will be inspired with confidence and hope, understanding that their promised catching away will be as real and certain as those recorded throughout Scripture.
Your Seated Place
Your true place of authority is not earthly, but spiritual, seated at the right hand of the Father, Yahweh in Christ Jesus. Monica reveals how this divine position is the believer’s everyday dwelling: a place of praise, prayer, and power where the enemy dares not tread. This session teaches how to live consistently in this spiritual seat of victory, regardless of physical circumstances, standing above all principalities, powers, might, and dominion. Audiences will leave empowered to walk, talk, and act from their heavenly authority, winning battles before they even begin.
How to Fight for your Healing and Keep it
Healing is not passive; it’s warfare in the spirit. It requires faith that stands its ground, courage that refuses to retreat, and obedience that aligns with Heaven’s authority. In this dynamic and faith-filled message, Monica draws from her own miraculous experiences to reveal how believers can not only receive healing but keep it. She teaches that the moment you step into God’s promise, the enemy will try to steal it—but victory belongs to those who know how to fight back with the Word, prayer, and steadfast faith.
Through practical, biblical strategies, Monica equips her audience to wage spiritual battle for their bodies, minds, and souls—and to hold the ground Christ already won. Healing was paid for in full at Calvary; we do not pay for the same thing twice. This session is both a battle plan and a charge to stand firm, protect your miracle, and live daily in the power of God’s enduring promise.
Leading the Leaders
Everyone wants to lead, but true leadership means guiding those who lead others—and shepherding the shepherds. Drawing on over twenty-five years of ministry experience, Monica addresses the challenges and realities of leadership, reminding leaders that pleasing everyone is impossible, but unity in God’s eyes is essential. This powerful teaching offers encouragement, edification, and practical tools to uplift and strengthen ministers and leaders who carry heavy burdens. It’s a must-hear message for anyone called to lead, equipping them to lead with grace, humility, and spiritual authority.
Conflict Resolution
Conflict is inevitable, but unresolved conflict can fracture relationships and ministries. Backed by a Cambridge University certification and rooted deeply in biblical principles, Monica delivers a practical and powerful teaching on how to navigate and resolve conflicts with love and grace. She guides audiences through clear, actionable steps to address issues promptly, preventing misunderstandings before they take root. This session equips believers to foster unity, restore broken relationships, and walk in the peace that only God’s wisdom can provide.
The Silent War
This is not just a story, it’s a powerful testimony of generational persecution, unyielding faith, and relentless resilience. Monica shares her life’s journey of being ambushed, captured, beaten, and left for dead, but also healed and miraculously restored.
The Silent War calls believers to rise up, dust themselves off, and keep moving forward in God’s strength. It’s a battle cry for fighters of faith everywhere, reminding audiences that this victory is not about her, it’s always about God, and He is ready to do the same for them.
