Acts 3:21-23

John's vision for
the Body of Christ is to see our generation actively training up the
youth, upcoming musicians, dancers, & visual worship
artists. Our children
and youth need to have their roots in the church and the body of Christ. John sees
churches having Biblical training Centers - developing creative
talents in a Christ like training / mentorship environment. Personally -
he desires to see created, an environment for his own children to develop
& use their
talents for the glory of God, and then send them into the world - strong
and prepared as the Army of Christ - ready to take back what belongs to
them. John sees the opportunity for daily
training in their talent, practice times and stirring up and releasing the
prophetic anointing, and
ministry in the creative visual worship arts. Biblical Instruction
and disciplines on redemption, salvation, praise, unity, flowing in the Spirit and releasing the
prophetic anointing.....and then ministering in prayer/praise times, not
just at the local church, but taking these teams, and congregation members
out to the community and using, purchasing or renting bars, etc...and
holding 'Miracle Praise/Prayer Services'. These are unconventional
demonstrations of the gospel - visually portraying and ministering out the
word of God.
From Pastor John &
Colleen's experience over the years - the performing arts, when used to
minister - brings a captive audience of the unsaved, and speaks to the
visual 'eye gate', rather than ministering through the 'ear gate' - where the visual
picture/mime/dance/worship - paints & speaks a thousand words
-Logos Words from the Spirit of the Almighty. The guards are down in
the observer's heart, and the gospel is imparted and the Holy
Spirit does His work. The Kosti's have seen & experienced
the deliverance anointing hit people, high school students, children and
their parents while they are ministered to in the presence of the
Lord in ministry with a balance of the five fold ministry gifts in
operation.
Walls and barriers are
not put up in people the same as when we try to evangelize out in the
world and ask them to sit & listen to a preacher. People
are hungry to see the manifested goodness and character of God &
experience Him - so their
hearts are open - the guards down and then through the psalmist anointing
and the visual display of God's presence & our love for Him - hearts
are prepared, and ready to receive the word of the Lord.
Using unconventional ways - will minister out to the normally unreachable,
and manifest the Glory of the Lord. See
