PREACH AS AN EVANGELISTIC AND REVIVAL MINISTRY, LIGHT BEARERS IS THE LAUNCH PAD FOR AN ON-FIRE TEAM OF SPEAKERS WHO EXALT CHRIST AS THE LIVING CENTER OF ALL TRUTH WHILE PREACHING THE FULL-SPECTRUM MESSAGE OF HIS WORD.FIRST, WE HOLD PUBLIC EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS. THESE ARE PREACHING EVENTS HOSTED IN LOCAL VENUES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THE MESSAGES ARE CRAFTED FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF INTRODUCING CHRIST AND HIS MATCHLESS LOVE AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF THE END-TIME MESSAGE OF BIBLE PROPHECY.SECOND, WE ARE COMMITTED TO REVIVAL MINISTRY IN THE CHURCH. EVANGELISM IS NOT WHERE THE STORY ENDS. IN FACT, IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING. THE CHURCH ITSELF IS IN CONSTANT NEED OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH, EDIFICATION AND EVEN FULL-ON REVIVAL. EACH OF OUR SPEAKERS CONDUCT SEMINARS IN LOCAL CHURCHES, CAMPMEETINGS, ACADEMIES AND COLLEGES FOR PURPOSE OF AWAKENING THE CHURCH TO THE BEAUTY OF GODS CHARACTER AS REVEALED IN CHRIST AND TO THE URGENCY OF THE TIMES IN WHICH WE LIVE.PRINTWITHOUT QUESTION, LITERATURE DISTRIBUTION IS THE MOST DIRECT AND COST-EFFECTIVE MEANS OF PLACING THE GOSPEL IN THE HANDS OF THE MASSES OF HUMANITY, ESPECIALLY IN THE DEVELOPING NATIONS OF THE WORLD.
