I try to live life everyday by keeping life as simple as possible.
My focus is simply:
1. God’s love and purpose for me and my family.
2. God’s Kingdom purpose for His Church.
The
greatest challenge in actually living that out is having
a Word based, Holy Spirit empowered perspective.
I believe that praise and worship is the most effective weapon and tool for keeping my eyes and my heart on Christ and His “bigger picture”! The Bible is God’s instruction manual for my life and when I get “who” and “what” I worship right then all other areas of life come into proper perspective!
I personally think that having a steady diet of laughter and chocolate in one’s life is non-negotiable and help’s abundantly in keeping a right perspective. Seriously though, the essence of my worship emanates from the revelation of God’s massive gift of grace that sets me free from my past and ignites my faith for a bright future!
Lastly, I have a daily reminder of the value His powerful grace when I look into the eyes of my wife and children and realize I have been given more than I deserve – I am the richest man in the world! -

Living out Active Faith
Hi, I'm Jeff and this is my beautiful wife DiAnne. I met her in college and we have determined to live out God in our everyday life with our three kids, Bria, Allie, & Kayler. We are real, just like you - we run from event to event with our kids and try to keep up with life as a family. We have fun and enjoy being together. DiAnne and I started ministry in Washington State right out of college. We determined to be very real about life and transparent in ministry.
A
couple of years later, we came to Arizona to work in
the family business for about eight years. Since that
time we returned to pastoring and have set our focus
on helping others find the incredible closeness and
power of God in prayer, as well as teaching young adults
core values to live life by through LifePointe Vanguard
Interns. Di and I do what we do because we truly believe
that when people really get what God is all about, no
one in their right mind would would refuse His incredible
offer of Love, Acceptance, and Forgiveness. We love
to see people get out of lies and onto what they were
created for... -

Hello everyone; My name is David and I am a child of God . I met my wife Vonda at Indian youth camp at Prescott, Az. 1973 . God put us together in marriage in 1980 . We both felt the call of God to pastor to our own people . We pastored for many years together and seen great results .We pastor to Navajos, Apaches, Yaquis, Papagos, Pimas, Cocopahs, and Quechans. I have two sons, Cirenio and Jeremiah and one grandson. I am very proud of them . I come from a large family, at one time, we had 19 under one roof . My Mother died when I was 6 years and my Dad died on my 13th birthday. I was bitter and mad at everything . God changed my life and called me to the ministry. I went to Bible School in Phoenix and receive my license to preach in 1976 . God has blessed me in many ways, and He can do the same for you. I now enjoy life, love to preach, eat hot food, and try be funny. But the greatest joy is to see people get delivered and set free from bondage. God is so good. Come and talk to me anytime.
