Fan The Flames
You may have noticed that we use the terms “Partnered” and “Come Alongside” a lot here. We believe that the Kingdom of God is built when each one of us uses our giftings and talents while linking arms with others doing the same. No ego. No competition. No one gift superior to the next. United as one body, in One Spirit under the one head of Jesus Christ. Each working TOGETHER to build, encourage, and beautify so that we begin to see the Kingdom of God “on earth as it is in heaven.”
We would LOVE to get to know you and discover how we may work together to accomplish all that God has set in our hearts. We’d love for you to know US, so that you may come to trust us - and the Holy Spirit working in us - to partner with you. |

Have Dan and/or Becky Speak at your Meeting/Event
- Are you affiliated denominationally? No. We are not tied to any given religious denomination. We do regularly attend a non-denominational Spirit-filled church and believe in the Five-Fold Ministry as a sound model for the corporate church.
- I don’t see tax-exempt status mentioned? Are you a 501(c)(3)? We have chosen to establish a for-profit model rather than a tax-exempt nonprofit. We have a personal conviction that (a) Jesus taught that God is our source and sustainer, and that we should not be seeking to circumvent national taxation authority, but rather pay our taxes and trust God for His provision. [Mark 12:13-17 - “render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s”]. We understand that this will, on paper, cost us more and may make partnering with us less attractive to those seeking a tax deduction for their support of our work. This leads us neatly into point (b) When we wrestled with that very question, the Lord brought us to I Chronicles 21:18-24. Even as David refused to take what belonged to another - even though it was offered to him - to make his obedient sacrifice to the Lord, we do not want to take what belongs to others to make ours. We will not offer to Him anything that costs us nothing, so we will willingly pay the full price according to our nation’s laws. The Lord will provide.
