Welcome to the first
issue of The
Invitation
Newsletter for
2013. This newsletter
will be longer
than usual due to information
that we
need to share with all
our partners in ministry.
We would appreciate
your time in
reading completely
through this publication.
Since the inception
of this ministry
in 2003, it has been
our posture to
“respond” to what
God is doing in our
midst. Over the past
10 years we have
watched how the
Spirit of God has increased
this preaching
ministry to include
published Bible
based workbook and
DVD material, weekly
recovery Bible study
groups in various areas
of America, Television
ministry, Motel
ministries and major
food distributions in
the greater Orange
County area that
equated to over 27
tons of food in 2012.
As God continues to
lead in 2013, we have
sensed an increased
vision which has
prompted us to meet
with the Church of
the Nazarene in
which Jerry Liversage
holds his credentials
as a Commissioned
Evangelist. In
2011, Jerry met with
the Anaheim District
of the Church of the
Nazarene for the
purpose of their approval
to further operate
as an expanded
“non-Nazarene work.”
Jerry outlined a proposal
and submitted
it to the Anaheim
District Advisory
Board and received
their approval in August
2011. Since that
time, we have continued
to wait on God
for His timing and
now feel as though
this year holds another
marked year
for a step of faith
towards the vision
which was submitted
in 2011. As a result,
we felt it imperative
to reveal the approved
letter to all
those who prayerfully
and financially support
this ministry. As
you review this simple
proposal on the
following pages,
please continue to
pray as we desire to
stay in a posture of
responding. We thank
you for your past
prayer and financial
support through the
years. We also anticipate
your future
partnership with us
as we take steps of
faith as God opens
doors in 2013.

Jerry’s personal update
On a personal level, we feel as though God has given
favor in a few areas that will give us an overall
continued
platform to exalt Jesus as our only hope in this
life and the life to come. In 2013, I was re-elected to
serve as one of three co-chairs to the organization
called “The Collaboration to assist Motel Families” of
Orange County. This Collaboration of approx. 85 various
organizations, exists to help meet the needs of
motel families in Anaheim and surrounding cities by
providing services and tools necessary for families to
achieve self-sufficiency. We believe this is an
opportunity
to minister the Love and Gospel of Jesus.
Also, as I continue to complete my Masters Degree in
Biblical counseling, I have completed two distinct
certifications
in the process which again gives platform
to exalt Biblical recovery to the arena in which we
minister. The first certification is called a “CDAAC”
which is a Certified
Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Counselor and
the second is called a “RAS” which is a
Registered Addiction Specialist. Because this profession
continues to require more educational expertise
due to a growing epidemic, I believe God has
opened the door to pursue this added educational
exposure,
to include scholarships that were awarded to
me in 2012, from the College which I attend.
In addition, our relationship with Dr. Stephen Manley
of Cross Style Global Ministries based in Tennessee
continues to expand. Dr. Manley has an extensive
recovery
ministry lead by David and Tina Kornguth
which has grown into a recovery facility, over 20
recovery
homes, and an extensive jail ministry in two
counties of Tennessee. Our Responding Recovery
Workbook and DVD teaching series is used in all of
their outreach endeavors. In 2013, I will be meeting
with Dr. Manely and their leadership in a further
discussion
of partnership that would include a linkage of
Live Streaming, and Skype. Dr Manley has been a
large part of this ministry since the beginning of my
conversion to Jesus Christ in 1989. As this linkage
continues, we desire to be available to whatever God
so leads. Thank you for taking the time to read this
important publication of The
Invitation Newsletter.
