About Trees of Fire
Igniting hearts and transforming lives through the power of God's word.
Our Vision and Mission
The Heart of Trees of Fire
Vision
To develop fully trained spiritual warriors with the hands of Esau, trained for spiritual warfare, and the voice of Jacob, according to the Torah of Moses, to help prepare the fullness of the Gentiles and equipping leaders in the 5 fold ministry.
Mission
To kindle hearts and minds on fire in the Holy Spirit through a comprehensive education and understanding of the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. Trees of Fire will offer a public access Biblical teaching based on the Torah, and more senior, academic opportunities for achievement at higher levels, aiming to fulfill and achieve a full spiritual understanding for His cohesive bride.
Our Founder
Dr. Nick Tognietti
Dr. Nick Tognietti was born and raised in Katy, Texas. He gave his life to Yeshua in 2017 at 23 years old after having a Damascus experience. He became a certified Evangelist in April of 2018 through the renowned Reinhard Bonke's "School of Fire," and was ordained as a Pastor in October of 2018 under the late Pastor Lester Speights.
Nick began learning Hebrew in July of 2019 under Izzy Avraham at "Holy Language Institute," and graduated in May of 2020. Within weeks, he began his weekly YouTube series "Ta'alumot B'Ivrit Secrets in Hebrew," revealing the secrets of the Jewish Messiah from the Torah of Moses, the Prophets, and the Writings.
Nick later self-taught to be a Biblical Hebrew scholar, as well as teaching himself Biblical Aramaic. He graduated as the top student from the largest messianic Yeshiva in the world, studying directly under rabbis, learning Torah, Jewish thought, and rabbinic literatures.
Nick furthered his studies, obtaining his Doctorate under Dr. Paul Speights at "Theos Spiritual Institute." His ministry and goal is to serve as a bridge between Judaism and Christianity and how to move in the power of the Holy Spirit, and he shows very clearly from the Torah of Moses and the rest of the Scriptures that this will hasten the coming of Messiah Yeshua.
Board of Directors
Financial Oversight
Nick received a message thru a dream in June 2024 that the Lord was going to increase his following in the ministry, but not until he got financial oversight for the ministry. So Nick asked Mike Lockwood and Terry Tognietti—dedicated followers of his teachings, readers of his book(s), etc. (Terry also being Nick's father, for full disclosure), who had been studying weekly under him the past 3+ years, and also all have substantial business background (publicly available on LinkedIn and elsewhere), if they would be willing to take over all oversight and management of the finances for his ministry.
At that time the ministry was a registered 501(c)3, since October 2018 and called Revelation Church (Revelation-Church.org), with almost 200 videos from sermons and teachings on Nick's YouTube channel. Nick felt called to change the name of the ministry to follow his book, "Trees of Fire," so that transition began (changing bank account names, official name of church with the Texas Sec'y of State).
The two agreed. Mike and Terry have agreed to provide independent oversight and manage all finances, not just managing how and which expenses are paid short term, and any compensation paid to Nick for his work, but also as finances build toward the vision that Nick has for the Trees of Fire school longer term.
