Whatever it takes
We offer a variety of ways to partner for the work of the Kingdom
Church Revitalization
In 2011 Lexington Avenue Baptist Church, a struggling but faithful church in our area turned over their facility to us. The congregation consisted of approximately 60 senior adults who were determined they would not be the generation that closed the doors of their church. We canvassed the area, hosted an outdoor kickoff service and by God’s grace brought excitement, growth and life to a church that was at death’s door. I desire to help churches that are willing to do whatever it takes to be Kingdom minded, Kingdom focused and Kingdom driven.
How we help:
Consultation
Sharing past history and experience in revitalizing churches and church planting.
Evaluation
Evaluating location, buildings, programs, parking, policy and procedures, etc. Discussing what you do and why.
Identity
Defining who you are and who you are trying to reach.
Building a basic foundation
Working with the pastor and staff to implement plans on how to reach the community and grow God’s church.

Interim Pastor
Serving as an interim, if needed and casting a vision to accomplish all of the above.

Invest in Pastors & Church Plants
In the summer of 1984 I knocked on 1800 doors in Matteson Illinois, beginning a home Bible study that I would turn over to a local church to begin a church plant in the area. In 2017 as pastor of Life Community Church we began Mosaic church, a church plant in a difficult area where other churches had abandoned. I desire to reach this generation with the gospel and I’m willing to help as needed.

Revivals
God has opened doors for me throughout the Southeast to preach revivals, pastor conferences, as well as prophecy, prayer and family conferences. God has uniquely enlarged my compassion and vision by allowing me to preach in Brazil, Budapest, Chile, India, Israel, Romania, Russia, Hungary, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. I’ve never gotten over where God brought me from and consider it an honor to preach “Just Truth.”
