This afternoon is focused on street evangelism and will be led by Mike Lybarger, ABLAZE Coordinator. Anyone is welcome to join this team. Mike will coordinate with local pastor to determine outreach plan.
This evening event will be outdoors and within the community in a high visibility location. There is a potential of serving food prior to the outreach service or having a giveaway. The outreach service is like a church service and will be about an hour. A prayer tent will be available for people to obtain individual prayer at any time. There will also be an altar call.
Please reach out if you cannot find an answer to your question or
if you would like to become a host church.
A host church partners with ABLAZE. Here are some of the ways that churches partner:
1. Open up a service with prayer.
2. Provide worship team members to assist during the services if needed.
3. Pray at the altar on Friday night and in the prayer tent at the Saturday outreach service.
4. Provide volunteers for the service Friday night and outreach service on Saturday.
5. Follow up with people looking for a church home.
6. Bring a church banner to get the word out about your church.
7. The church is listed on website and social media as a host church.
8. Take an offering at the Friday night service.
ABLAZE costs will be underwritten by Living in the Light Ministries, which is the umbrella for these services. Churches and individuals can also give towards the expenses.
Our first year for ABLAZE outreach services was 2024 and we witnessed multiple salvations, physical healings, emotional and mental freedom, addictions broken, and multiple baptisms. Dr. Kristi Lemley founded Living in the Light Ministries in 2003 and has traveled preaching since then.
1. There will be a short 30 second-1 minute video that you can play during the announcements on a Sunday morning inviting people to ABLAZE.
2. The campaign is entitled Invite One. We are encouraging everyone to invite one person who needs to know Jesus, who is struggling with a mental health issue such as depression or fear, those bound in addictions, and others who just need encouragement.
3. We will provide postcard invitations with all the service details on the back. Churches can request the number they need.
4. We will also provide flyers to be put up around town.
5. We will also get the word out through our social media.
The ministry does not take a step without prayer and the leading of the Lord. ABLAZE is undergirded by a prayer team that has already begun to pray. The week leading up to the services will also provide prayer around the locations offering to pray with people.
