Our Ministry began in the Wilderness…
Breath of the Almighty Ministries is a Holy Spirit led ministry that was founded in 1999 as a family run not-for-profit company originally based in Southern California. It is now a Florida non-profit based in Lake Mary, Florida.
BOAM endeavors to minister under its original mission statement, "To circle the globe with the power and presence of the Lord," but now with greater focus and clarity… "Finding the lost / Unifying the found".
This is being accomplished through various streams of ministry. These include weekly services at the “The Fire House,” in Orlando Florida and through our weekly broadcast, The Fireside; a Breath of Life Broadcast. (Coming soon.) We also offer books and teachings through our affiliated publisher Choice Publications. Choice was inherited by Jospeh Lawrence (the middle son.). In addition, we also run an outreach called, “Little Lads Lunch,” the mission’s branch of BOAM run by Joshua Lawrence. This, we consider to be the backbone of our company.
These streams are all designed to be an extension of the ministry of Jesus Christ, the head of the church to the glorify of God the Father by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are truly blessed that you have stopped by our website. May you experience the tangible presence of the Lord while you are here.
Many blessings!
~Pastor / Evangelist Paul Lawrence
WHO WE ARE:
It is our sincere belief that God is present in our world and passionate about being an intimate part of people's lives! So passionate, that he gave his only begotten son. (John 3:16.) Therefore, it is our goal to usher the spiritually hungry and thirsty into His Presence where they can be changed from one level to a higher level of living. Remember what He said, "No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.” (Hebrews 8:11.) The above is only possible by a humble attitude about one's own condition. That is, that we have all fallen short of God's perfection and that His Holy Spirit and His Word exist to not only convict us but to convince us of this truth. We believe that by His grace and by the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and through the presence of His Holy Spirit on the earth we can approach Him as children would approach an infinitely loving father where anything is possible.
Streams of Ministry
The Fire House
Our regular meeting place and gatherings. Featuring worship, communion, sermons and praying for people with the laying on of hands as The Book of James encourages. At The Fire House we welcome and expect the Holy Spirit to minister to us by his holy fire, a fire that both cauterizes and burns away that which does not belong in our lives.
Books
From children’s books, to poetry and biblically inspired works of fiction and non-fiction, the written word is the way to the world. Our books by Choice Publications provide quality in content, design, and ideas prayerfully inspired by the Lord.
Speaking Engagement
We are a ministry that affirms the experience of the Upper room, where the Holy Spirit arrived with His giftings, His affirmation of Jesus’ death and resurrection and His Presence for the world. That mission continues today as we at BOAM are advocates for His continual work of revival by spiritual hope and the Fire of God.
Podcasting: Podcasting in the 21st century is such a unique wayto reach people and such a great oppotunity for people all around the world to hear the good news of Jesu Christ.
