LIVE MINISTRIES came to life close to 40 years ago as a lay ministry that encourages ordinary people to go into local churches with the power of encouragement, prayer, renewal and fellowship. 

The late Pastor Gerald Marvel and Dale Warman were the passionate servants whom God used to cast the vision and develop the ministry.

 Today, LIVE Ministries stretches around the world with LIVE Weekends and special events that God is using to bring transformation to people's lives as well as renewal in the local church.  That’s exciting! 

Your support of LIVE Weekends in the U.S. and Canada attracted interest in Europe where teams of laypeople have changed hearts and shared the hope of Christ. Testimonies consistently tell us that LIVE Weekends have made a huge difference in the lives of people and churches.

LIVE Ministry International uses the proven LIVE Weekend success story, and when needed, modifies the core principles and processes into the unique cultures of the world.  Love for one another, prayer, personal relationship and sharing of personal testimony transcends every culture.

 Age of Miracles, our capital fundraising division, is building, remodeling and expanding churches in many locations. With a proven track record wherever it has been used, Age of Miracles offers a low cost, low key solution that really works.

LIVE Nexus, our newest gift of the Spirit, is specifically designed to meet the needs of Pastor/Ministers of the church. Using core LIVE Weekend principles, LIVE Nexus has been launched to rave reviews.  Now pastors can experience renewal and restoration!
 We are excited that in recent months LIVE Ministries has connected with the National Church in refreshed commitment to serve the greater good of the church at large.  We can now be strategically involved in the ongoing development of the vision of the Church of God Movement.

Our sole income source is people like you who have been blessed by LIVE Ministries.  Churches provide Love offerings and many of you give sacrificially. In that spirit we appeal to all the friends and family of this ministry.  You can give online; you can make LIVE Ministries part of your will or estate planning; you can simply write a check and send it today.  If you want this powerful ministry to continue, we prayerfully ask that you partner with us.

I encourage you to invest in the Kingdom's advancement and the health of the local church and its leadership, through giving to LIVE Ministries.
