MISSION
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE KNOW
(but they're not coming to church)
GOOD NEWS: According to a February 2025 Barna poll, more than half of American teenagers surveyed said they were "very motivated" to learn more about Jesus.Over 75% said they were "somewhat motivated" to learn more about the centerpiece of our faith.
In 2024, print book sales rose only 1%, but print Bible sales increased 22%.
BAD NEWS: In December 2024, a Gallup poll showed that only 30% of Americans rate clergy as highly honest and ethical.
OPPORTUNITY: There never been a better time to reach beyond the church walls; to go where hungry, hurting and hopeless people gather and tell them about Jesus.
PRISON MINISTRY
Since 2011, our faithful financial partners have helped Life on the Verge conduct over 500 evangelistic concert events in prisons across the United States. We been able to engage hundreds of volunteers, utilize dozens of professional musicians and provide a platform for many gifted speakers. As a result, we've seen thousands of inmates profess faith in Christ. We've laughed with them, we've wept with them, shared communion with them, prayed with them, and even water baptized many right there in prison. Our mission in prisons is to:
ENTERTAIN THE CROWD
A high-energy concert is a gives inmates an excuse to come to chapel.
EDIFY THE CHURCH
We bring preaching, teaching and power times of pray to help strengthen the incarcerated Church.
EVANGELIZE THE LOST
We always present the gospel and we alwat see throngs of inmates respond.
EQUIP OTHERS FOR MINISTRY
LOTV provides a training and a platform for volunteers to minister in a too often neglected mission field.
BIKER MINISTRY
The Sturgis Rally is where Life on the Verge began in 2011. Thanks to our financial partners and ministry connections we've ministered at the rally seven times as well as numerous times at Daytona Bike Week. We've also ministered at many smaller biker rallies and events such as the Lonestar Rally in Galveston and the OBX Rally in NC. We've given away thousands of "Bike Blessing" CDs that contain our music, a prayer for the biker/bike and a gospel message. Bikers of all types stop to listen to our music while Christian biker clubs such as the Sons of God, Bikers for Christ and folks from the CMA engage the crowd. We've always been well received and we've never found a CD on the ground or in the trash. Several well-known 1% club bikers have taken our CDs back to their camps. We can only scatter the seed. God makes it grow!
BARS & BEYOND
Life on the Verge has intentionally sought opportunities to perform in secular venues (as The Plunders). As a result, seeds have been scattered in small dive bars, RV parks and secular festival - to include Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza.
