This project is something almost hard for me to put into words. It’s crazy to think about, because it’s something I’ve always dreamed of creating, yet the quick and easy options out there were too costly. I’ve always been the type to build things from scratch—mainly forums or side websites as hobbies—but this has been different. This project has been the longest I’ve ever worked on, and the first one I’ve ever turned into a legitimate business, with the records to prove it. More than that, this project has been covered in prayer time and time again. God has been faithful to let every piece fall into place, and even now, He continues breathing life into it.
Nearly every part of LootSplash has been custom built and developed from the ground up. The vision began on July 17, 2025, and here we are—nearly two months later—still developing, refining, and finishing, yet already functional. From the beginning, I didn’t want it to feel like some stiff, corporate platform. I wanted it to be fun, casual, friendly, and—above all—unique. I prayed and asked the Lord, “How can You use this platform for Your glory?” I didn’t receive a clear answer in that moment, but I knew my heart: whatever I built, it had to glorify His name. That’s why I added rotating Bible verses in the footer, and why the About Us page makes clear that this platform exists to bless others as Christ has blessed me.
I pray daily over LootSplash. My hope is that one day it will become not only a way to support myself, but also my future wife and family, while giving me the freedom to travel and witness the beauty of God’s creation. I even dream of using it to open doors for ministry work wherever He leads. But more than all of that, the deepest desire of my heart is to give back to the Kingdom. God has laid it on me: if this project succeeds, its fruit is not mine alone—it’s meant to support ministries, expand the work of the gospel, and pour into missions, evangelists, pastors, and projects that help the needy. From the very start, I’ve asked the Lord to test my heart, to keep my intentions pure, and to lead me so that I stay faithful to His call. And I’ve felt His presence on those very prayers, confirming that this platform is to be used for giving into the ministry and spreading the gospel.
For years, I wondered why I always seemed to be on the backburner. My peers had better jobs, homes of their own, marriages, children. Meanwhile, I often found myself crying before the Lord, asking, “Why, God? I’ve served You the best I know how, yet I’m behind while others—who don’t even serve You—seem so far ahead!” I didn’t understand then, but now I see it differently. Through prayer, church, and relationship with Him, I’ve realized that outward appearances don’t tell the whole story. What looked like “falling behind” was actually God positioning me. In Him, I’m further ahead than I ever imagined.
On August 14, 2025, I signed onto Facebook—something I rarely do—and a memory from exactly seven years prior popped up. It read: “Prepare for what you have been praying for. The blessings are about to overtake you one by one.” Just seven days later, our college ministry relaunched with over 255 students attending the very first night. The theme? “A New Thing Coming.” God was speaking in sevens—a number of completion and perfection—showing me that one chapter was closing and a new one was opening. Then, three days after that, the Sunday morning preacher set aside his planned series and delivered a word straight from the Lord: “It’s Turning Around.” That same evening, at revival, Pastor Mo Huggins confirmed the message again: “A new thing is coming. Just keep believing!”
All of this, woven together, is more than coincidence. It is God’s hand. He is speaking, and I believe this project is part of that new thing. This is my testimony: God has been working, is working, and will continue working. Something new is coming, and soon, it will overflow and pour out—not just in my life, but into the lives of others through what He has called me to build.
