Murder of 13-year-old budding preacher ‘never supposed to happen,’ suspect says

Published

on

Matthiew Stavkovy, a beloved 13-year-old boy who was fatally shot last month during a botched robbery in Kent, Washington, wasn’t supposed to be killed, according to one of four suspects police have arrested and charged with murder.

The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office previously charged Faysal Abdullahi, 18, of Kent, with murder and robbery for the shooting of Stavkovy on July 16.

On Tuesday, according to KOMO News, murder charges were filed by prosecutors against three additional suspects who participated in the robbery at Turnkey Park. They are: Diavante Dunmore, 20, of Covington; Marsais Dunmore, 17, of Covington; and Semarias Woods, 16, of Kent. All three were charged with robbery and murder in the first degree. Dunmore, who allegedly fired the bullet that killed Stavkovy, was also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm in the second degree.

According to the police report on the incident, Dunmore told police that he did not plan to use the gun.

“Diaviante stated the shooting was never supposed to happen, the gun was there in case ‘something goes wrong for the opposite way from a transaction perspective.’ When Detective Pribble asked Diaviante if the taking of the camera without paying was supposed to happen, he stated ‘Yeah,'” the Kent police report states.

Prosecutors say Stavkovy was killed on July 16 after he accompanied his 15-year-old sister and a male juvenile friend to Turnkey Park to sell a camera and equipment, according to the Kent Reporter. The transaction was arranged through OfferUP, an online mobile-first marketplace.

Charging documents allege that the male friend, Stavkovy and his sister went to the park to sell the camera and arrived at the location at 8:58 p.m. on July 16. Abdullahi arrived with another male first, then a third male showed up wearing a face mask and brandished a pistol.

Stavkovy’s male friend was knocked to the ground and his camera equipment in a silver case and black backpack was taken from him. The 13-year-old’s sister told detectives that after seeing the armed male, she ran with her brother toward their four-wheel ATV hoping to escape. Once they mounted the ATV she heard a gunshot behind them.

Stavkovy, who was driving the ATV, soon realized he was shot and lost consciousness. His sister drove them to the Kentwood Apartments at 22415 Benson Road SE, where she got help from residents in calling the police. Stavkovy died at the scene.

“While there is no way to compensate for the incredible loss felt by the Stavkovy family and the community, it is my hope that today’s (July 25) arrests in addition to the arrest made last week, provide them some measure of comfort,” Police Chief Rafael Padilla said in a news release.

Despite the young ages of the defendant, Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Thomas C. O’Ban II noted in the charging documents that the robbery was carefully planned.

“Evidence recovered from the defendants’ phones indicates the defendants chose the time and the place for this robbery,” O’Ban wrote in the charging documents. “They planned an approach route. They had a getaway driver. They arrived early so they could stage themselves before the victims’ arrival. Despite the defendants’ young ages, this shows a surprising amount of planning and forethought.”

Stavkovy, who was well-known at his local church in Kent as a budding preacher, singer and musician, was mourned by his family and community on Sunday.

O’Ban noted that even though the suspects did not plan on killing anyone of July 16, they knowingly engaged in dangerous behavior involving a deadly weapon that led to Stavkovy’s death.

“While the defendants may not have set out that evening to kill anyone, they knowingly engaged in a dangerous and violent offense while one of their numbers was armed with a deadly weapon and set in motion a chain of events that killed one victim and could easily have killed others,” he said. “Moreover, the accomplices committed these crimes in the middle of a residential neighborhood, as children played at the park nearby.”

‘Something Has Shifted’: Pastors Report Revival Fires Spreading in the UK

Published

on

Revival fires are reportedly spreading across the United Kingdom. From England to Ireland, Christians are witnessing a “shift” and a new hunger for God in the once spiritually dry region.

“Something has shifted in the last six months and it feels almost like it’s a rising river,” said Pastor Craig Cooney who leads Hope Church in Northern Ireland. He believes the spiritual drought brought on by the pandemic is over.

“Between 2020 and 2023 I found myself often saying that I’ve never seen the Church at such a low ebb that it just felt like we were going through the motions post-Covid, that churches were struggling, their numbers were down. But not only were their numbers down, there was just a lack of zeal, lack of passion, a lack of enthusiasm, a lack of growth. And something shifted around the start of this year, I would say, and it’s difficult to describe or define,” Cooney said.

Cooney, who also reaches more than 100,000 people on Instagram at daily.prophetic, says the most noticeable change is a tangible presence of God as well as an increase in the number of healings.

“God Is in the Room”

“There’s this sense of ‘God is in the room’ that has been birthed out of and has probably birthed prayer, an increase in prayer. We have seen that in our own church. About 20% of our church now come to our weekly prayer meeting, which is at 6:00 PM on a Wednesday. It’s not a convenient time, but it’s just an hour of solid intercession. And there’s just people crying out for the lost people, crying out for their families,” he said.

“And every single week we are getting testimonies of healing from people who might not even six months ago believed in divine healing. I mean really, it’s not the people you might expect quite honestly. It’s the people who when they say they’re healed, they’re healed because they wouldn’t be making this stuff up,” Cooney said.

Rev. Liz Doyle, founder and director of “She Leads America” just returned from England where she prayed with a group inside Windsor Castle.

“And as we were in St. George’s Chapel praying, I felt the Lord speak to me and say, ‘I’m going to bring revival into this place.’ We were there for three days and three nights with 30 of our British counterparts,” Doyle said. “Genesis Chapter 28 is what the Vicar was reading from that day, Jacob’s Ladder. And right next to us is Queen Elizabeth’s grave and I felt that when he began to read Genesis chapter 28:13-15, you read it, it’ll say on the ground where you’re laid, I’m going to bless the generations. And I felt the Lord was saying, ‘I am going to begin to work in Your children’s lives, Queen Elizabeth, and they’re going to be a blessing to the world.'”

Doyle and her husband pastored in England for 25 years and for her, this was a full-circle moment as she felt the Lord saying, “I’m going to bring you back to the land and give you the things I’ve promised.”

“And my husband and I had been pastoring in England for 25 years in church planting. And we left about 25 years ago. And so those two things came together, and I just understood it to be that the Lord was going to move in St. George’s Chapel,” Doyle said.

Signs of Revival in Scotland

Signs of revival are also sprouting in neighboring Scotland. In June, Rev. Franklin Graham brought his “God Loves You Tour” to Glasgow, where more than 7,000 people turned out with many giving their lives to Christ. “You see, God loves you and He’s willing to forgive our sins but we have to come to Him, His way and that’s through the cross of Jesus Christ,” Graham told the crowd.

One young Scottish man in attendance described the experience like this: “I went up tonight because Franklin was so powerful in his word, He said ‘get out of your seat,’ and I had to get out of my seat! I had to get there! I didn’t realize there was going to be 2-3,000 people behind me. It gives me anxiety, but I didn’t care, I’m going to give it to the cross,” he exclaimed.

Church Grows by a Third

For Cooney, this is a season he has waited a long time to see.

“And I kind of feel like the Lord says, ‘You will get what you go after.’ And there’s this sense where I felt him say, go after healing, go after healing. And so, we’ve gone after that. And honestly, in the first five months of this year, our church has grown by about 30%, 3-ZERO, incredible 30%, and we have done nothing different,” Cooney said.

When asked if this means we’re experiencing revival he said, “I was thinking of Elijah where he keeps sending the servant back to see if there’s rain coming. And he said the seventh time ‘I see a cloud the size of a man’s hand.’ And the cloud wasn’t the rain, but it was a sign that something was coming. And Elijah got into the birthing position and kept praying until the downpour came. And I believe what the Lord is saying is there’s a cloud. ‘I’m showing you what’s available and I’m showing you what’s possible and I’m showing you what I would delight to give you. And I’m calling My people to prayer and I’m calling My people to consecration and I’m calling My people to a deeper level of commitment. And if you will pursue me, I will come for you,'” Cooney said

2,000 Baptized in New ‘Jesus Revolution’ Event at Pirates Cove: ‘Lord, Do It Again’

Published

on

Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship in California is celebrating another massive baptism turnout at Pirates Cove. It’s the latest sign that the nationwide move of God that kicked into high gear with the Asbury awakening of 2023 isn’t over yet.

This latest Pirates Cove baptism comes on the heels of the annual Harvest Crusade held by Pastor Laurie at a fully packed Angel Stadium in Anaheim. The stadium was filled to capacity with 50,000 souls while more people gathered in the parking lot and online to participate.

Pastor Laurie spoke about “The Sinner’s Prayer,” and 3,500 people walked down on the field to give their lives to Christ. He says the fire marshal wouldn’t allow any additional people to go down to the field, so hundreds more people were backed up into the aisles. He reports another 1,500 people prayed to receive Christ online.

As a result of those 5,000+ salvations at the Harvest event, 2,000 people showed up to get baptized over the weekend at Pirates Cove in Orange County.

Last year, Pirates Cove was the site where 4,500 people were baptized by Laurie and his team in a single day. “In twelve months, we baptized 6,500 people!” Laurie exclaimed while telling the testimony during his Sunday sermon this past weekend.

“I see that God is working. As you know the last great spiritual awakening, the Jesus Movement, happened in California, and we’re praying, ‘Lord, do it again,'” he said.

He also explained the historical significance of the baptism site as well. “This is where we used to baptize people during the Jesus movement days. Cathe and I were baptized there too. This is where we also shot the scenes for the Jesus Revolution film,” he posted.

Last year’s epic baptism of 4,500 was just one of several stunning baptism events in California, which have been seen as more evidence that the US is experiencing a revival movement or spiritual awakening.

And that awakening has continued this year with thousands making history in May by joining the Baptize California movement at beaches and church sites around the state. Roughly 12,000 people took the plunge in the largest baptism in US history in a coordinated event of Biblical proportions

“I baptized one family that had 17 people, between kids, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles – everyone getting baptized – crying, hugging. I mean it felt like a book of Acts page,” Pastor Mark Francey told CBN.
