The Intent
Mission Idaho [DayStar Life Ministries] was born out of the desire to Glorify God through the person of Jesus Christ. Biblically, this is carried out with a commitment to the Great Commission (Matthew 28: 18-20) and to the Principles of the Kingdom of God (Matthew 5:3-12, 6:33; Mark 1:14-15; Luke 17:20-21; John 3:4-6). We believe that the Kingdom and the Great Commission are foundational to any ministry that one may pursue. The key is to activate one’s place within the Biblical Narrative – Creation, Fall, Redemption and Consummation. We find Creation, Fall and Redemption from Genesis to Acts chapter 28. The Consummation is primarily found in the Book of Revelation. We are to fill the gap between Acts 28 and Revelation. Our task is to find our narrative, that is, our story within the greater Biblical context. This connects directly to the personalities and events of Scripture. Within this Biblical Narrative we are found inseparably connected to the Patriarchs of antiquity, the Prophets of old, and the Apostles of a new Covenant. We seek to activate this mission within this narrative by means of conducting Dynamic Leadership Conferences, Decisive Evangelism Outreaches and Dedicated Educational Programs. Acts 2:1-47
To make disciples of all nations, starting in Idaho. Demonstrating God’s grace and teaching them to observe all the things Christ commanded. See Mark 28:19-20



Vision
To establish and nurture vibrant, healthy churches and to facilitate a church planting movement that reflects God’s power and glory by transforming lives through the gospel and capturing Idaho for Christ.



About the Director
Life Verse:
Behold, what love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God: because of this the world does not know you, because it does not know Him. Dearly beloved, now are we the children of God, but as of yet it has not been revealed what we shall be and we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like: for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone that has this hope within, purges himself, even as He is pure. 1 John 3:1-3 (Geneva Bible – Personal Translation)
