Breath of Life International Church

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7) The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life (Job 33:4).

Why a New Church?

God requires worship in spirit and in truth (John 4:23).

More laborers are needed for the harvest (Matthew 9:36-38; John 4:35-38).

The greatest evangelistic method is CHURCH PLANTING!

We are still a nation of UNREACHED souls!

Evangelism declines as churches grow older and larger, if they fail a commitment to established outreach (church planting).

ESTABLISHED Ministry (Over 400 Members) – 1 Soul per 239 Members monthly

NEW Ministry (Less than 100 Members) – 1 Soul per 10 Members monthly

The Missed Mark

The healthy church identifies, trains, and empowers persons called and gifted for servant leadership.

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also (2 Timothy 2:2).

A Global Anointing

And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts (Haggai 2:7).

Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer (Mark 11:17)?

Did You Know?

By 2050 AD, our nation will be…

50 percent Anglo

25 percent Hispanic

14 percent African-American

8 percent Asian

Segregated worship is NOT the answer!

There are more Buddhists in the US than Episcopalians.

Muslims now outnumber Presbyterians in the US; and will outnumber American Jews by 2005

In California, 239 languages are spoken; 184 in New York; over 60 in North Carolina

Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase (Job 8:7)

For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice… (Zechariah 4:10)

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord (Matthew 25:23)

The Task at Hand

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15).

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem [ community ], and in all Judaea [ state ], and in Samaria [ country ], and unto the uttermost part of the earth [ world ] (Acts 1:8).

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen (Matthew 28:18-20).

Send Me, I’ll Go!

And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away (Acts 13:3).

“ A church's health is measured by its sending capacity , not its seating capacity. Churches are in the sending business. One of the questions we must ask in evaluating a church's health is, ‘How many people are being mobilized for the Great Commission?’”
