Introduction
Dear Friend,
In the days preceding Billy Graham’s last crusade in New York City, I had the privilege of heading up a team of volunteers who served the residents of that city in a variety of different ways. The Life Connections’ team joined with mission teams from all over the United States as the Body of Christ demonstrated the love of God through acts of service and kindness. Though our team was only a small part of something much larger, all who participated sensed God’s blessing as the Church came together as one. It was an amazing time.
This experience in New York only served to underscore a calling upon our ministry that began to unfold over 10 years ago . . . a calling to facilitate multi-faceted events that would unite the Body of Christ with acts of service, worship and prayer. At Life Connections, we refer to these events as Bring Life Events.
At the very center of every Bring Life Event is a heart-felt demonstration of unity between local churches and ministries as the host city is blanketed with visible evidence of God’s love for all humanity. Each church and ministry flows within it’s specific calling as we sponsor prayer summits, worship events, film festivals, pastor conferences and workshops. In so doing, new relationships are developed, the community of believers is encouraged and strengthened, and the Body of Christ learns to walk as one.
Beginning May 1st, and ending May 11th, Life Connections is sponsoring a Bring Life Event called Pray of Los Angeles 2008. There will be multiple prayer gatherings in various locations around the city, including a Pastor Prayer Summit on May 6th-7th. We will host the 2nd annual Pray for LA 5K on May 3rd. There will also be a variety of opportunities for people to serve those in need.
It is our hope and prayer that from this Bring Life Event will develop long-term relationships between pastors of different churches and ministry leaders. We pray that a fire of unity would be lit that would continue burning for many years to come; that Los Angeles would truly become a visible answer to Jesus’ prayer when He asked the Father that those who followed Him might be “perfected in unity, that the world may know that You sent Me, and that You love them, even as You have loved Me” (John 17:23).
This is the calling upon Life Connections . . . to Bring Life. Please pray for us as we step into this calling . . . as the Lord stretches us in delightfully new ways. And as always, thank you for your continued support as we go forth and Bring Life to the nations!

Bring Life Campaigns!
Ten years ago I was reading Billy Grahams autobiography of his life and ministry. As I read about the impact of his evangelistic ministry in cities around the world and how it brought the body of Christ together to impact cities. I had a strong impression in my heart that the Lord wanted to do some of the same things he was doing in some of Dr. Grahams Crusades. But it would look a little different than the traditional crusade events. We know through scripture the Lords heart beat for the Body of Christ, in John 17:23 Jesus was praying to the Father, may they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you have sent me. What would that look like to see the body in complete unity? What is the fruit of that unity? The world knowing that Jesus is Lord! We know that a spiritual war is on in our cities. We know that a huge part of the enemies plan is to keep the Body of Christ disunified. We know that a house divided will not stand. I know that Billy Graham knew that a huge part of the success of his crusades was the body coming together for the cause of the gospel. The heart of Bring Life Campaigns would be to ignite the Body of Christ locally and abroad to come and focus on a local city where you would have a multiple of churches, Para-churches and mission teams Blanketing the city with service and the love of God. Each church and ministry has there specific calling in how they can flow in there service to the different communities and we would not have to micro manage that we just allow people to flow in there gifting. But the challenge is to have everybody on the same page. When I brought a team to serve in New York City during Billy Grahams last crusade it was an amazing thing to see mission teams from all over the country serving in the city and being part of a bigger event. It brought a kind of camaraderie to the teams. During the Bring Life Campaigns there would be a multiple of worship events, film festivals, conferences and workshops going on all over the city. Which we would like to see bless the local body also at some point there would be a bigger worship event that would bring us all together and worship and praise God for what he has done in the city. Out of this we would hope and pray that long-term relationships are established with the Pastors in the community and there churches where they would continue keeping the fire burning and seeking the Lord in how they as the Body can reach there city and the Nations and be an example of what it truly means to love each other.
