People are asking the question, “Why should I come to your church, when I pass five churches just to come to yours?” The answer?

• Empowering For Life!
• We are reaching the whole man ... his concerns about money ... her concerns about stability ... their concerns about God.

All that Empowering For Life will do stems from Luke 4:18-19:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable your of the Lord.”

What will this vision take?

• God!
• People who have faith in the vision
• People that support the vision
• People that are faithful to the vision (no matter how long it takes)
• People that are growing in the things of God
• People that believe in the leadership of this church
• It will take a miracle!

Where does the church (Living Faith Church) fit in the picture?

• If they can trust us to help them in the natural, they will trust us to help them spiritually
• The church becomes the place of celebration for the things He has done (the programs of Empowering For Life)
• The church becomes a living organism…the body of Christ in action, not just a building to come to.

Plan…Mobilize!

• First, in the program, get debt free!
