What is Transformation Mi and How Can You Partner

PRAYER…the Foundation for all Action – one Edge of the Sword

  1. A Prayer Movement based on historical precedentof past “Great Awakenings connecting 83 MI Counties in day and night prayer is well underway…and will continue. Counties in Michigan and states in America are being connected in unity as we work with ministries, churches and individuals in our state and across the nation.
  2. We have partnered with the Capitol Hill Prayer Partners(CHPP – Sara Ballinger) out of Washington DC and will continue to work with them throughout the year. Michigan covered the “Night Watch from 12 Midnight to 6AM” from October 4th – November 4th –   chpp@patriot.org.- Sarah Ballinger)

NOTE: We have been asked to continue with the night watch and have coordinated a plan with CHPP to unify with other ministries in the nation. We will build a “Prayer Line War Room” infrastructure where Michigan will take the lead and provide a 24/7/365 model that will be utilized in other states.

  1. Michigan is connecting presently with other statesin a prayer movement that will result in a tipping point to turn America back to God’s Kingdom principles. We are working with national and state leaders such as Lou Engle (TheCall), Rick Joyner, Ret. Lt Gen. Jerry Boykin, etc, and the national Moravian Watch prayer movement.
  2. We are in a fourth year of leasing a facility (MICHOP)across the Street from the state capital in Lansing that is focused on prayer for those in authority and facilitating meetings to birth Biblical worldview legislation. We are building a relationship with the legislative prayer caucus. It is called the Michigan Capitol House of Prayer on 322 West Ottawa – MICHOP.org

NOTE: Some of our board members are presently working on overturning the Same Sex Marriage ruling by our U.S. Supreme Court with Dr. William Wagner (Salt and Light Global) and with attorney David Kallman. Meetings are developing to ban Sharia Law in Michigan and to deal with the influx of refugees in our state where a subtle population Jihad is underway. Of course Pro-life issues are always at the forefront and defunding Planned Parenthood.

  1. Decision America 2016 – Franklin Graham – Transformation Michigan was selected as a state field coordinating ministry to rally people across Michigan when Franklin Graham comes to Michigan in 2016 speaking and praying from our capitol steps in Lansing, MI. He is going to every state in the nation before the next election to call the church and government to repentance. We are witnessing a prayer unity among varying streams in the body of Christ – https://decisionamericatour.com
  2. RESET – National Prayer Gathering on the Washington Mall in DC– Transformation Michigan was asked (we accepted) to mobilize Michigan to attend this nationwide prayer gathering on the DC mall on July 16th, 2016. They are calling for 1 million people to attend.  It is being endorsed by the majority of major ministries in the United States. My role is to travel and meet with church leaders, appoint regional coordinators, mobilize buses, etc. –  resetmovement.com/

 “ACTION…the Second Edge of the Sword”

Transformation Michigan is implementing a strategy that will create a moral groundswell in the grassroots for coming elections in 2016 throughout regions in our state which includes our universities. The church must raise its voice in regards to the Gospel message to impact our culture, traditional marriage, the sanctity of life in the womb, pulpit freedom, parental rights, voting Biblically, etc. – we are a nation at risk!

There must be feet put to our prayers where action steps are provided. People need direction and we have a detailed strategy. People must be given the opportunity to impact the sphere of influence they have been given.

  • Campus evangelism will be a priority as I have and will continue to visit campuses in Michigan in open air preaching sharing the Gospel, passing out tracts, challenging students to turn to Christ, exposing Islam,  and praying for the sick. I have been invited to speak in some classes to share the truth of God’s Word in a Q/A format. Our universities are a mission field as foreign students from all over the world are attending. I have tracts in numerous native languages. I have never seen so many Muslims on campuses before in other years.
  • A state speaker series will continue across Michigan as we must continue to impact Universities and Regions in MI with concise plans to transform our culture.
  • Dr. Frank Turek – www.Crossexamined.org– a Christian apologist. He recently came to University of Michigan on November 5 where there was standing room only as he spoke on – “The Bible is Reliable and True”. I will be setting up universities across MI in 2016 for Dr. Turek to visit working with campus ministries.
  • Ret. Lt. General Jerry Boykin (Family Research Council) will visit in the Spring of 2016, Rick Joyner (The Oak Initiative) this coming Fall in 2016, Kamal Saleem, Bishop Larry Jackson, will be returning and other speakers as well. Topics such as Prayer, Islam; Marxism in America, economy, religious freedom must be continued to be addressed.
  • We have partnered with Dr William Wagner (Salt and Light Global) and attorney David Kallman who are sharing in our “God and Government” series how the church can protect itself from Supreme Court rulings on Same Sex Marriage and religious persecution.

NOTE: They are preparing legislation that will go before our state legislature and governor that will uphold the MI voters decision on marriage and overthrow the U.S. Supreme Court decision. There is a gathering on December  2nd on our state capitol steps in Lansing releasing this resolution and legislation making an appeal for Governor Snyder to sign it.

 

  •  We will produce a publication – “We Agree America”…for activation of grassroots leaders and individuals to impact cultural gateways of society (84 Pages/4 Color/High Gloss). We had previously distributed near 15,000 copies of a publication titled “Solutions for Hope and Change”. The focus was activating grass roots to engage our cultural gateways of society. The new publication will be printed before early spring. The finances have been secured!
  • We will create a one page flyer (4 Color/High Gloss – 81/2 by 11) to be distributed door to door that will correspond with our Bill Board initiative to educate people with an end result to educate people to vote Biblically.
  • Door to door activation must be implemented.  There are individuals in every village, town, city who are willing to go door-to-door and distribute information firsthand. We know of individuals in churches who are investing time/money to literally do this to bring a message for that will preserve freedom in our nation. We have the information, contacts, and strategic plan to carry this out.
  • A Bill Board Initiativeis being planned as we need to to raise finances to cover major highways in Michigan six months before the next election in 2016. It would carry the message – “We Agree America” – and challenge people to VoteBiblically. We will bring to the forefront issues such as traditional marriage, life in the womb, defunding Planned Parenthood, religious freedom, threat of Islam and Sharia law, supporting display of 10 Commandments, upholding of our U.S. and State constitution, exposing the threat of Socialism, all lives matter, support of law enforcement and many other topics that will encourage unity to preserve our nation.
  • A grass root activation plan called – “We Agree America”is being released where 6 months before the election Michigan will be impacted. The goal is to turn the election towards a Biblical worldview utilizing these strategies below.
  • We are activating Oak Initiative chapters across Michigan to train and equip believers to pro-action steps (www.theoakinitiative.org). I am one of the state coordinators. Ret. Lt. General Jerry Boykin (Family Research Council/Kingdom Warriors) and Rick Joyner (Morningstar Ministries) are founders of this national movement with other national leaders.
  • We have prepared for distributiona manual on “Physical Preparation…the Church a Place of Refuge”for times of crisis. We have also put together a handout on “Defending Traditional Marriage – Most Common Questions Asked”. We have answered every possible known objection to assist the body of Christ to defend Traditional Marriage. These materials are being passed out at events we host or organize.
  • A Blog Radio ProgramMI radio outreach will be set up which will convey Christian conservative values and all the issues that will help preserve a future for our children and grandchildren. We have access to national/state leaders and speakers to grow this area in such a way where a message could go viral quickly. We will continue to gain access to Christian and more conservative radio stations to give us free airtime.
  •  Social media will be a tool that we will more effectively utilize and engage. This is where our young people occupy much of their time. We must align with those who have expertise in this area to get our message across.

MINISTRY CAR FOR TRANSFORMATION MICHIGAN NEEDED

A ministry car for traveling will be needed again to fulfill all the obligations for the next few years. I travel 40-45,000 miles per year. Consider what is being accomplished in the heading READ MORE below. A DONOR recently gave $10,000.00 to Transformation Michigan towards a new vehicle. I am now beginning to explore options as I have a Ford A Plan available as well.

Back in 2011 Lou Engle had appointed me state coordinator for TheCall at Ford Field on 11/11/11 (24 Hour Prayer gathering). My transmission went early that year and the body of Christ responded. In 4 weeks finances came in to purchase a 2011 Ford Fusion. I am getting signs in Transformation Michigan ministry car it is time to act now as we head into winter.

Consider a financial offering small or large. We are a 501(c)3 and can give a tax write off. Review what we have done and what will be accomplished before this next election!

 

THANK YOU!
