Like the Apostle Paul, the desire of Legacy of Worship, Int’l is to “obedient to the heavenly vision” (Acts 26:19). So, in light of this reality, we have purposed in our hearts to pursue the following:

1)  To center our ministry on raising up passionate worshipers (Deut. 6:5-7; John 4:23-24), who impact the nations of this earth with healing, restoration and reconciliation (Rev. 22:2; II Cor. 5:18-19).

2)  To help usher in the vision set before Israel, which was to see a prophetic generation raised up (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17). This will happen through planting training centers and assisting the local church in every nation of the world (I Sam. 19:20) to fulfill the scripture, “I would that all prophesy” (Num. 11:29; I Cor. 14:1). A prophetic house was and yet is God’s vision for the Church, saying, “I will...build again the Tabernacle of David” (Acts 15:16-17;).

3)  To keep in the forefront of our thoughts the vision Jesus cast while upon the earth, part of which was...“My house shall be called a house of prayer” (Isa. 56:7; Luke 19:46). Simply put - if Jesus declared it – we will participate in seeing it come to pass.

4)  To assist believers to walk-out God’s commission, which is to see salvation come to the earth and gather the families of the nations to worship God (Genesis 49:10; Jer. 3:17). We shall act as a facilitator of this through teaching, training, warring and imparting (Ephesians 4:11-16; I Timothy 4:14), preparing this generation to declare to the next generation the goodness, glory and majesty of God (Psalm 78:4-8; 102:18).

5)  To disinherit and dispossess the demonic, religious strongholds in the earth that have assisted in seeing the false gods of the earth to be worshiped. Like in the days of the return of the Ark of God (to the Church), we shall see these false gods toppled and Christ shall be exalted as King and Lord of the heavens and the earth! This is Who He declared Himself to be (Jer. 7:18-19; I Sam. 5:3-4).

6)  To present the absolutely biblical vision for the apostolic gift to be fluid in the Last-Days Church. God’s government will continue to increase and quickly expand. One-by-one the nations and their governments shall be transformed, thereby preparing the earth for the glorious return of Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. 2:20; Mark 14:62).

1)  The Bible is the inspired Word of God (II Timothy 3:16), spoken to and written by men that were moved by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is incorruptible, infallible and without error. It is God’s instructions for life.

2)  God is one, but manifested as three persons - The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). God the Father is sovereign and greater than all (Psalm 47:2). Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who became flesh (John 1:14). The Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son, and is eternal (John 10:30).

3)  Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God (Genesis 1:26). He was created to enjoy a glory-filled relationship with God. Even though sin separates man from God, Jesus’ birth, life mission, death and resurrection was all about restoring mankind to that glory-filled relationship Adam enjoyed in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:8).

4)  Sin came into the world through the transgression and fall of Adam (Romans 5:12). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was sent to undo and destroy the work of Satan by shedding his blood and dying on the cross, to redeem, deliver, heal and restore man back to God (I John 3:8). Jesus died for all our sins, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:10).

5)  Salvation, or being born again, is necessary to all men. It is the gift of God to man, which is given by grace through faith in Jesus Christ…not gained by the works of man (Romans 6:23). Salvation is God's "FREE" gift to man. Therefore, there is nothing man can do to earn this salvation (Ephesians 2:8). It is only received through accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, believing that He is God, and that He died on the cross and rose again (Romans 10:9, 10, 13). Those who receive salvation will be saved and live forever in the presence of God in heaven. Salvation cost Jesus His life, so rejecting such a gift is the ultimate sign of rejecting God Himself.

6)  Jesus Christ was born of a virgin (Matthew 1:23). This virgin birth was a sign that God wanted to be Jesus’ Father. Because life is in the blood, God wanted Jesus to establish a family, to be the first born among many yet to come (Romans 8:29). Being born of God, Jesus was without sin, as the Bible describes it (Hebrews 4:15). Through Jesus, God wanted to establish a pedigree that would fulfill all of the legal requirements to redeem mankind back to God (Acts 20:28).

7)   Baptism in water is a symbol of the Christian's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. The act of Water Baptism does not save anyone, but is a vital aspect in the continuing process of declaring Who Christ is in our lives. It is an outward sign of an inward work, symbolizing how we are raised in newness of life through Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:4).

8)  Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a gift from God and the experience is accompanied by the evidence of speaking in other tongues, as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance (Acts 2). The Holy Spirit lives inside every believer and provides them with guidance and the power of understanding the spiritual truth (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit gives life, anoints and enables believers to fulfill the Word of God (I John 2:27). Otherwise, we are powerless to do so. There are fruits that the Holy Spirit exists in our hearts and lives (Galatians 5:22, 23). In addition, He gives ministry gifts and spiritual gifts to believers to convince the world that he is very much alive! (Ephesians 4:11, 12; I Corinthians 12 & 14).

9)   Divine healing is part of the package offered through Salvation. Jesus established healing as God’s will for mankind (Acts 10:38). It is part of the finished work of the cross (Isaiah 53:5). Healing is appropriate by faith in God’s ability, not men. The Word of God encourages us to lay hands on the sick. The result is…”and they shall healed”. Signs, wonders and miracles should be a daily occurrence in the life of believers (Mark 16:17).

10)   Man was created to exist forever, and Heaven and Hell are real places. Heaven was created for mankind to enjoy God and His presence forever (I Thessalonians 4:17). Hell was created for the devil and the angelic hosts that rebelled against God in eternity past (Matthew 25:41). However, anyone who physically dies in his sins without accepting Jesus Christ in their life is hopelessly and eternally lost. They will have no more opportunity for repentance or hearing the gospel (Luke 16:24; Jude 1:6). God is just. He does not send anyone to Hell. It is the reward for those who chose not to follow Him. Jesus will come a second time, as He promised (John 14:2). What a glorious day that will be!

Why are missionaries often placed in a neatly constructed, defining box? Most often, if they do not fit within our definition of what we think a missionary is, then something must be wrong with them.

God continues to re-define missions. The question has been proposed, “Where exactly does a missionary fall within the list of five-fold ministries?” Actually, a missionary can be any one of the five ministries listed in Ephesians 4. A missionary can do the work of an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor or teacher. The key is: the person's gift and anointing. This directs the mission set before the person that calls himself/herself a missionary.

If the mission of Legacy of Worship, Int'l and Bill and Lynda Faught were compared to one, large river, it would be a river that has five tributaries. Bill and Lynda have seen clear evidence of all five ministries listed in Ephesians 4, for they participate in the following: provide apostolic oversight and covering to some churches; have been used to prophetically speak into the corporate heart of nations; carry an evangelistic or revivalist mantle that stirs up the Church wherever they go; provide pastoral care to pastors and worship pastors; and release revelation truth, as they teach the Word of God. There's is worship missions! Ever heard of such a thing?

An Encouragement:

Missions is a vital part of Legacy of Worship, Int'l. We're excited that the re-defining of missions has many opportunities for church members to take short-term trips. Every member of the Body of Christ should take at least one mission trip in his/her lifetime. Take the challenge!

Do you need someone to set up such a trip? Legacy of Worship, Int'l will be taking several trips each year into various corners of the globe. These trips will be posted on our itinerary page. If you desire to go, you may make a request on the contact page. We reserve the right to conduct an interview, then pray about it. You will be contacted with an answer. However, if the destination is too dangerous or too many have already signed up, you'll be contacted and given the option of having your name placed on the next trip list. Can't wait!

The Rudd Family, including daughters Olivia, Emily and Mia, moved back to their home town, Ardmore, OK, and planted a new church one year ago. They carry an international flavor and desire for the nations to come to Jesus, partly because they spent approximately five years in Japan. Ardmore is a city very much in need of this ALIVE church, and Pastor Andy and Jami have begun to see several encouraging signs of breakthrough. BIll & Lynda thorougly enjoy visiting Harvest Fellowship Church!
