Lilyband Psalmist and Jesus Generation Worship and Training Center

Dear Kingdom Builders and Beloved Children of the Lord,

Thank you for reading this, praying for us and doing whatever the Lord Jesus leads you to do. Rhonda and I are so very very grateful and thankful to the Lord and to you for any part that the Good Lord leads you to do to help us to fulfill this Mission Vision and in providing any of the needs to complete the Vision helping us to reach many more people for Jesus.

By the Lords grace and power He has blessed us with being able to lead others to Him in worship. We have been teaching and preaching His Holy Word for over 21 years and counting. We love the Holy Father and we love to feed His people His truth in His love.

We truly need our own space. Currently we are so thankful to be sharing a space with friends on tuesday nights. We lead live worship gatherings and are so grateful yet truly need a space that we can use every day and night of the week for many reasons and to accomplish the full vision. We are believing for full provision to either rent or have ownership of a clean beautiful large building in excellent condition—located in a scenic area with stunning views visible through numerous large windows. The building should feature high ceilings and ample, convenient parking. This will be the home of Jesus Generation Worship and Training Center—a Holy place of God’s Word and Presence, where we gather to worship, pray, study the Holy Scriptures, preach and teach the Word of the Lord, and train His Evangelists, Psalmists and Worshipers while enjoying open views of His beautiful nature and creation.

1. Church Mission and Evangelism

At the Jesus Generation Worship Center we are committed to equipping a Spirit-led evangelistic team through solid biblical teaching and times of fervent prayer. Our mission includes strategic outreach—mapping cities and rural areas to visit homes, businesses, public parks, Schools, Colleges and beaches, etc,.

Our vision is to hand out effective gospel tracts, receive prayer requests, invite people to the Jesus Generation worship center, offer to pray for them on the spot, and share the love, grace, and truth of Jesus. Our teams will seek out the lost and the prodigals, offering personal testimonies of how Jesus personally saved us and what He saved us from.

The ultimate goal: to win souls to Christ and make disciples—true worshipers—by Jesus love ,truth and the power of His Holy Spirit.

We are praying for the Lord to provide high-quality broadcast cameras and proper lighting for live streams, along with upgraded sound equipment, quality microphones, and excellent keyboards and instruments for the leadership and worship team. We want to offer Him the highest level of excellence in sound and true worship.

We also seek professional-grade film production equipment to create evangelical and teaching media—short films, powerful true life testimonies, and music videos—to reach and win souls and strengthen believers through multiple platforms as the Lord leads.

2. Worship Team Training
Every member of the Jesus Generation worship team will be asked to complete the 1st foundational Psalmist School course to understand what the Lord desires from His lead worshipers before serving—whether on the worship team, sound team, arts or altar ministry. The worship center is not a stage for performance. It is the Holy altar of the Lord, where we pour out our hearts to Him in Spirit and in truth—unto Him alone. We also have started building a recording studio with friends that will help us to help the Worship leaders and Psalmists to record and distribute to the masses the new songs of the Lord. Many more quality pieces of equipment are needed to finish this important new project. We see the recoding studio and the distributing of the new songs as a great net to bring in the harvest of souls and to feed Gods people.

3. Ministry Sabbatical Retreat and our Personal Home
About 20 years ago, we left our home and family to follow the good Lords call into full-time Worship, Word and prayer ministry across various cities and states in the U.S.A. We now prayerfully ask the Lord to provide ownership of a personal home for us—a place that also includes a separate and private guest house. This guest house would function as a retreat space for fellow ministers or intercessory prayer groups in need of sabbatical rest. It would also serve as safe, peaceful housing for guest ministers serving locally —a holy space consecrated to Jesus, for His use.

We deeply value a quiet, private oceanside location for long prayer walks with the Lord and to enjoy the beauty of His creation. This environment has often proven itself ideal for offering rest, healing, revival, restoration and a reset along with Christlike hospitality shown to others in ministry.

My Father’s Lighthouse is what we titled our previous beachside house Church and retreats that we stewarded. Our many previous guests were always grateful for the peaceful setting of the ocean, nourishing organic meals, pure healthy drinks and times of fellowship, prayer and worship. Above all, we uphold their privacy with great Christlike integrity, purity and respect. If they prefer full solitude with the Lord and prefer to fast or prepare their own meals in their own space for their entire stay, that is fully understood and honored.

4. Housing Needs

Hurricane Milton came through and did some flooding again to the house that we rented and used for a daily evangelistic outreach . There was great damage done to the house and more losses occurred and then a sudden move out was needed. We could not live there any longer because the owners wanted to sell out quickly. We rented the home there for aprox. 3 1/2 years because the Lord led us to see it was near a highly populated public beach park where we reached thousands of souls monthly with 24/7 evangelism outdoors daily in various ways that the Lord had instructed us to do at that time. The house was old, in much need of repairs when we started renting it aprox 4 years ago and we hear it is to be torn down.

Please note that we are not in fear of living near the ocean and operating a Private Retreat for the Lord from a very strong and well built home and guest house that is high, dry, upon strong stilts and has current hurricane codes intact in modern construction with a healthy beachfront. We were in a very old 2 story home near a close unhealthy beachfront that resulted in flooding at that time. Jesus was often near the beautiful waters and gardens when He was here in the earth to be with the Holy Father in walks and prayer and listening. It is very refreshing, healthy and stress relieving, there is simply nothing else like it.

Possibly having access to a clean, good-quality, used small Class C RV would be a blessing enabling us to travel to visit family and minister in different locations when called upon by the Lord.

5. Financial and Resource Support

We are praying for faithful, cheerful, and consistent monthly financial support to:

● Provide and well pay a gifted ministry staff to help us accomplish the mission.

● Cover funds for ownership and building maintenance costs for the worship center.

● Cover funds for ownership and maintain the guest house for sabbaticals and for our home.

● Provide weekly Pastoral financial support to bless us with all personal needs.

● Fund various ministerial-related monthly expenses…stress free so we can more easily focus on the Lord His Word and accomplish our mission and reach more souls without the distraction of needs and trying to raise funds.

6. Future Provisions

We recognize the wisdom in securing a small, fertile piece of farmland near our home. This could be managed by paid skilled individuals to grow organic vegetables and tend fruit trees and raise livestock and chickens etc.. This would help sustainably provide pure food for those the Lord brings into our congregation, our Sabbatical guests and us so we remain strong, well nourished and able to help others in what may be a coming food and or financial crisis.

7. Income-Generating Business

We are also seeking the Lord’s help and provision to launch and maintain a successful side business that would provide steady personal income and help other Ministers in active ministries, the poor and to grow our ministry to reach more people.

Above all, we remain deeply grateful for whatever our Holy Father provides—knowing it is all to help Him win souls, feed His people the truth in love, and serve Him by the power of His Holy Spirit.

Be extremely blessed. You are appreciated and loved in the Lord.

Psalm 103,
