If you have had a chance to read our blogs, on Faith-space.com you will know that our message from the Lord to the Body of Christ is a message of living by faith through adversity. Those who call themselves Christians desperately need to grow in faith to win the daily battles that we all face and the bigger battles that are to come. We are to occupy till He comes but occupying requires daily communing with God, spiritual maturity, responsibility, accountability and stability. These concepts are vital to the church as a whole specifically because Christ is coming back for a church without spot, wrinkle or blemish. How can we ever reach that goal without integrity of heart and true trust beyond any doubt?

Vince has taught these concepts to international pastors but senses an urgency to teach them to the Body of Christ as a whole in this critical hour. Has there ever been a time like the days we are now facing? Many believers today are fainting due to fear. The Rizzos learned to walk by "the fumes of faith" alone for years while others had plenty and the Lord used this time to prepare them for such a time as this. They learned the valuable lesson of entering into the rest during days of great trials and tribulations and now they want to share what they learned with others. Pastor Vince's story is a true Joseph story where the Lord was with him through extreme poverty and adversity but God proved again and again that He was faithful as He promised.
