The way he believes in presenting the gospel is to use creative methods (so people remember what is taught) and to target the teaching at where people really live (life-application) while never compromising on the truth of scripture. Want to see him teach on-line? Go to www.houseofpraise.cc

  1. Hello Pastor Lon! I don’t know if you remeber me, I am Jason Baileys’ sister, you baptized me in January. You have a real exciting church going on there! I must say that my own Pastor was alittle sad that I was baptized by you and not him but that is only because I am a new found christian thanks to him and the church of the Nazarene. I had the support I needed from my family in N.Y., and I hope to move back there soon one day. Any way I look forward to watching my brother play drums at church on the 20th and 27th at The House Of Praise, I’m real proud of him. Even though I am a stranger to you I want to say thankyou because that was a symbolic turning point for me in my life, thanks to God, my family, and to you. Take care, Ellen.
