Life Connection Church

What a crazy series. When I was planning for the series the Lord warned me that it was not going to cause people to start having sexual issues but the Light was going to come and sexual immorality was going to be exposed. One thing I can tell you about the Lord is that He never lies. I think I was up every night dealing with one person after another who wanted to be free from some sort of sexual immorality. I know that my leaders where dealing with multiple issues also. So that shows me one of a two things.

1. We have a lot of horny people in our church who have not dealt with sexual issues and our church is abnormal.
2. We are not that abnormal and most churches are not dealing with sexual immorality issues and deciding to just keep it under the rug.

I have to say I believe #2. I am so thankful that we did this series we want to be a church that desires a pure heart. In this house we will continue to confront sin and will endeavor not to cover sin. We will expose sin and cover repentant people. I hope that you where challenged and blessed by this series as much as I was.

Hey all I just wanted to invite you all to peek in on my devotional life. I am posting my raw, uncut, unedited, misspelled journal thoughts on scripture. I began 2 years ago just going verse by verse starting in Genesis through the Bible and just listening and writing commentary on each verse. I have just started 3 days ago posting my journal entries. So if you can handle the rawness of it and get a little out of it then come by and take a peek as often as you would like.

Hey all,

One more week until the opening day and God is really blessing. We are getting real close to completing but we have a big week of work ahead of us. It has been one real crazy month!!! People of the church have been giving hours upon hours to build out what is going to be a very amazing space. We are so blessed! It is really coming together. I cannot wait to see it all done and to rejoice in the completion of what has been a huge undertaking for just one month.

I wanted to first off thank all who have stretched and given above and beyond to get us to the place we are. We are very near to $22,000 which is a huge blessing in just three weeks. I am still amazed to see how God has put together people who are so amazing to give gifts ranging from 1 dollar up to 10,000 dollars and everything in between. Dana and I where talking the other night about this being the first time we have felt such overwhelming support from people who have done so much for us. So thank you!!! We only need $8,000 and we have reached our goal of $30,000 that is awesome. Thank you!!! and most of all THANK GOD!!!

Anything that can be given will be a huge help! If you want to give there are a few ways to do that…

#2 – Send a check or Money order to life connection church PO Box 2205 Phoenix Az 85002

Praise God!! We have the most amazing support from our overseers and Friends from around the world. I have never been in a place in ministry where I feel such support system in place. God has surround me with Men who love God and love me and I am so thankful for the blessing. It is amazing to see that discipleship works and not only do our overseers pray for us, disciple us, lead us, but they support us with finances. From Steve Mills, Kim Sam-Seong, and Tim Dailey we have received $11,400. That is amazing! We are soooooooooooo blessed! Thank God for all of our support. We still have others who from outside the local body that are giving because they believe in what God is doing and we thank God for them.

If God has given us such leaders then we need to rise up to the standard that has been set and be willing to invest into our own soil. I believe we are going to see from the leaders and the local body the rest of the $18,000 come in. So please lets continue to pray and continue to be obedient. Let’s Stretch together!

Just wanted to write and testify what God is doing and give you an update. Love you all!

Dear friends, family, church members, and everyone i have some sort of relationship with,

This letter comes to you with much excitement and mixed with that excitement is nervousness. Have you ever had that? Where you are so excited and nervous you are not sure where excitement ends and nervousness begins but it is all like washed together. I am overwhelmed with blessing but I am in need of help from as many people who can.

Ok here is what I am talking about… for the last 2 and half years we at life connection church have been praying for a new building location. Something that would be around 8,000 sq. feet and have more class space for our kids, seat about 250, have some offices, and something that would represent excellence a lot better. Every door that opened before seemed to close and so we would just turn from it believing that God would open a door and we would see Him work it out. The door has been opened to us!!! Our landlord came to us about 2 weeks ago and asked us to move to a bigger building just a block away from our current location and it is a great space with all that we were needing for this season. Because He came to us it gave us a lot of bargining power and we reached a deal that we are excited about. So we will moving into a new location Dec. 1 and have our opening service Dec. 2nd. THANK YOU, LORD!!!

Well all that is the exciting part and this is where nervousness meets excitement, but the peace of God passes all understanding. We need $30,000 this month for build out, furniture, decoration, media equipment, chairs, and the list could go on. This is where I am asking for your help. We need as many people who are in our lives on many different levels to give. If you know me at all you know that I hate writing letters like this because I do trust that God will provide but I also know that God provides through His people who are moved by His spirit to give. This is all I am asking, pray and ask God what to do, and do that! I know that it will help big time! I know many of you have helped us in the past and I am so thankful for your help and would not want to do anything that would offend you or push you away. If you feel like you should not give then by all means do not give, but If God’s spirit moves you to give then please do so as soon as possible.

Here is how you can give…

(1) By cash or check given in the sunday morning offering
(2) By mail to Life Connection Church at PO BOX 2205 Phoenix, AZ. 85002
(3) Go to lifeconnectionchurch.net click on the giving tab and give by card and all internet giving this month will go towards the building.

Please make all donations to Life Connection Church marked as building fund in some way.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support! All of you mean a whole lot to me and I am thankful to have you in my life.

Love you and God bless,

Wow! What a calling God has put upon this church! I love what God is doing in this house! What excites me the most is the attitude of the majority of the believers, that we will pay the cost to see our city have an awakening and to see a transformation. God spoke to me at a Transformation Conference and challenged me deep in my spirit on the cost of spiritual transformation and revival. If we are hungry for it then we need to feed that hunger. How do we feed a spiritual hunger? By starving the flesh and feeding the spirit. This is why a fast is an opportunity for God’s people to feed the spirit with a sacrifice of not eating natural food but feeding on the things of the Spirit. This is why September 2nd – 9th is called “Hunger Week”. Every night from 6-8 pm those who are fasting will be praying together as our spiritual food and we will watch Him manifest Himself in ways we have only been hungering for. Please make sure to be a part of this week! There are three different levels of fasting which are: a 7 day, 3 day, or 1 day fast. Make sure to e-mail ptaylor@lifeconnectionchurch.net to sign up and get more information. Check out this web page (http://www.billbright.com/7steps/begin.html) this will give you some good ideas on how to prepare to fast. GREAT WISDOM!
Well Church lets hunger and thirst and believe He will do His part and fill us!

What an amazing weekend! WOW is all I can say!! I saw the most deep things happening in peoples lives. If you went to a this encounter or any other, post a quick testimony. I love what God is doing in this church and the freedom He is bringing into peoples lives.

What an amazing time in prayer we have had this week. God has been birthing something in us in prayer. I can’t help but to think that something is about to break with all that God has been doing in times of intercession. We have hit a cord in the spirit when we are praying for reproduction! When we are praying for the lost to be won, and spiritual children to be matured, and leaders to rise up then we are praying the will of God so I know He hears us and that he will give us those things. I want to challenge you to pray! I am seeing prayer in a whole new light… I think MC hammer said it best, “You got to pray just to make it today.”

Dana and her staff have been working their booties off for the last 2 years to prepare this weekend event. To raise money (which they still need about 3 grand short if you can give to help) is the hardest part… but they also have been meeting, planning, buying equipment and supplies, promoting, praying, crying, laughing, and the list could go on and on… After all of that the weekend is here and I want all of us at life connection to cover them in prayer. We need to be praying that…
(1) The Spirit would move strong during every session.
(2) Protection for all the staff and girls.
(3) all the money will come in.
(4) Most of all Christ would be glorified and girls would get saved and raised up as disciples.

Love you all and I know you are going to be praying… check out princessbypurpose.com

Preachers hate it when people fall asleep while they are preaching so you know that it is bad when I almost fall asleep while I am preaching. I got in Monday night from Kazakhstan had a few meetings in Phoenix on Tuesday and then went to bed at 1:30 am and then woke up at 4:30 to get to the Airport and fly to California to do an encounter weekend at Liberty with the Youth. So I do not know what time it is or where I am… I am jet lagging and trippin!!! But I am so blessed to be ministering to these young people… God is doing some amazing things in young people all over the world!
I prayed last night, “Lord, I am in a good place because my flesh is done. I have nothing left I am so tired but if You can speak through me while I sleep that
would be amazing.” Then I relized something so obvious… These kids do not need to hear from me so if I could get out of the way and let God speak then that would be the best thing. So God gets all the glory because He is doing it.
So keep me in prayer and I will see you sunday!!!

I Just got done preaching my last session! I do not even know what to say except… WOW! I am very overwhelmed with what God has done in and through us here in Kazakhstan. It is all HIM!! I need a few days to get my head together and think about what God has done. I am kind of glad it is a long flight home that will give me time to sit back and think, process, and meditate on what God did.

I am very much missing you all, my babies, and my home. I am finished with what I was sent here to do and that is a good feeling. I leave tomarrow and I am soooooooooooooooooo ready! I Pray that all of you will be at church tomarrow and will prepare your hearts for what God has for you through brother Ralf. I will see you all next week with a word that God has birthed in my spirit that I can not get out of my mind and heart. Please be ready to recieve and hear what God is speaking to us! I love you all and thank you for your prayers!

See you soon!

Man this city has become a land of revelation for me… God has dropped something in my spirit that is going to mess us up! I say that in the most loving way but we have to get our focus back on the vision for multiplication through discipleship. This is God’s heart and mission and if we are going to be his followers then we must stay on focus.
What an amazing message Josh gave on sacrifice… that was the best message that could have been given in this season! That was right on time!!! You have to listen to that if you did not or if you did listen to it again!
I must challenge you again… STIR IT UP!!! When I get back I need you all to be already stirred up and ready to recieve and run with what God wants to speak to us!
We love you all so much and are excited to see you soon… keep us in prayer as we have much more ministry to do!

Love ya,
PA

What a blessed time! Dana and I are truly being refreshed, getting so many ideas, and practicle help on how to walk this vision out. It is truly amazing to see all these people from around the world living out the vision of discipleship… It is cool to think that we are apart of a world wide movement to return to the calling and mission of God… “GO into all the world and make disciples”… It is happening and I am blessed to see such a focused group who has such clear goals and a plan.
One thing I have learned while being out here is the two prong power of discipleship… we are a Family and a Army. I will have to talk about all that when I come home! We must be both to be effective. We must function as a family but be able to be mobilized like a army.
This is such a needed time and I know that our lives are being transformed. Make sure to stir yourself up, stir one another up, and stay focused on the Vision. Do not miss the weekend service and stay connected to your connection group. Continue to check the site to see what is going on with us here… Love ya,
