Operation Life Cell
Because of the tremendous challenges in our world with terrorism, Mutual Faith has launched a vital outreach in regions of rage around the world. This was initiated after the events of 9/11, and the words of the prophet Isaiah began to grip the heart of Keith Hershey – “There will be on every high mountain and on every high hill rivers and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the tower fall.” (Isaiah 30:25) This passage was the prompting for the Operation Life Cell ministry expression.
THE PROBLEM: TERROR, FEAR AND RAGE
On September 11, 2001 when terrorists attacked the United States, all over the world, people felt violated as terror and rage was released in a new way. Indeed the Christian community hasn’t had much of a presence in some of the tough regions of the world, particularly the 10-40 window. How do you share the love of God in a region where it’s illegal to have a church service?
THE PROMISE: WATER WILL BE AVAILABLE
“There will be on every high mountain and on every high hill rivers and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.” What a powerful proclamation! What a definitive declaration! There will be water available in the high places and the hard places of the planet when pressure is applied. I really believe that the living water of Jesus Christ is going to be prominent and prevalent all over this earth.
THE PROVISION: GOD WILL ASSIGN WATER BOYS
In order for water to be available there needs to be a delivery system! In other words, their needs to be water boys and water girls available. As a young boy, I was invited by the varsity basketball coach to serve as the water boy for the varsity team. It was a honor for me to go to the practices and the games and refresh the players when they came off the court. I would give them drinking water and a towel and that simple assignment helped encourage them to stay on the playing floor, the real battle zone, to go for victory! In like fashion we are called to connect with people, to refresh them and bless them so they are better equipped to do the work of God in their regions of the earth. The assignment God has given us is to teach and release 7,000 LIFE Cells in regions of the world where there are ‘terror cells.’ These ‘terrorist cells’ have a tremendous impact on the work of church ministries.
THE PROCESS:
CONNECTING WITH RAGING PEOPLE
The Lord has given us a model for ministry. He gave an assignment, to a person named Ananias, to go and connect and communicate with a terror-filled man named Saul. (Acts 9) Saul was bringing havoc and terror against the church. The Lord spoke to Ananias and commissioned him to go and talk to the terror-filled man, Saul. Eventually, Ananias was brave enough to be obedient to take the assignment and go talk to this raging man. Years later Saul, who became Paul, gave testimony as to what Ananias said to him, the words that were used that preserved him from terrorism. “The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will and see the Just One and hear the voice of His mouth. For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.” (Acts 22:14,15) These five principles are so powerful! According to Paul, these are the truths that allowed him to triumph over terror!
GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU (YOU ARE LOVED)
This is the most refreshing phrase of the human heart. Men and women everywhere are redeemable!
YOU SHOULD KNOW HIS WILL (YOU CAN KNOW HIS PERFECT PLAN)
We don’t need to be disillusioned any longer. God can us the details for every aspect of our life.
YOU SHOULD SEE THE JUST ONE (EXPERIENCE JESUS)
This is the son, His name is Jesus, and we call Him our Savior! This is where we communicate the reality of the cross! The death, the burial, the resurrection of Jesus Christ!
YOU SHOULD HEAR HIS VOICE (INTIMACY WITH GOD)
How refreshing that we don’t just need to embrace religion but we can have a genuine relationship! God wants to fellowship and commune with His kids!
YOU SHOULD BE HIS WITNESS. (GIVE LIFE AWAY)
This is what all of us are privileged to do, to tell others the Good News! In other words we can be the water boys and the water girls! We can bless and refresh the human race so people can embrace His love.
THE PLAN:
HOW WE IMPLEMENT THIS SIMPLE ASSIGNMENT
Our goal is to teach and release 7,000 LIFE Cells just like Ananias! We are conducting OLC in various nations all around the world. We are bringing leaders from these troubled spots of the world and helping them go incognito back into these communities to connect with people full of rage, terror and frustration! We show them how to get an assignment by the Spirit of God like Ananias received, provide the training materials, and release these precious brothers and sisters back into their region by praying for them as they go forth as a water delivery system into their communities.
TESTIMONIES FROM OPERATION LIFE CELL
“We now have seven Operation LIFE Cell camps set up for the training of those with special assignment from the Lord. The Operation LIFE Cell principles have been embraced by everyone in these training camps. We have enlisted about two hundred people into the program from the seven camps.”
“A Juju Priest or idol priest with a very large shrine has surrendered his life to the Lord after I applied the Operation LIFE Cell method. He and his two wives and ten children now attend our church.”
“A terrorist, known as a Jihad leader, has been saved and is now the leader of Operation LIFE Cell for all of the North of Nigeria. His father is an Islamic priest.”
“Our Operation LIFE Cell is doing good in reaching the Muslim rebels here in Mindanao. Another Abu Sayaf rebel is added, and we have now two Muslim rebels saved and born again under our care.”
