About Lifesavers International
Gathering the lost, one sheep at a time
A frontline ministry of Mary Banks Ministries and Bible Teachers International, empowered by the Holy Ghost to free those held captive.
Mission statement
One standard: the Word of God
The purpose of Lifesavers International is to bring the lost, addicted, abused, broken and bound into freedom as well as to restore them back to God, their families and communities with ongoing support and counseling. Lifesavers International has only one standard, which is the Word of God.
The main objective of each clinic is salvation, deliverance, healing, rehabilitation and restoration of participants, through the Word of God and the power of the Blood of Jesus Christ. God uses His earthen vessels as instruments of love and healing. Clinical Ministers oversee the clinics and allow the Holy Spirit to create an atmosphere of love, forgiveness, reconciliation, compassion and direction for those saints looking for restoration, as well as the unsaved needing deliverance and salvation. Lifesavers Clinics are open to the public for all ages, races and creeds.
The purpose of Lifesavers International is to bring the unsaved and God's people to freedom inside their situations, circumstances and relationships. In addition, participants are to understand the operations of the kingdom of darkness and the programming and destruction of Satan in the unregenerate state, as well as the truth and deliverance power of the kingdom of light, through Jesus Christ as a "new creation". Clinics are to be used to guide the participants in the development and training of the new man and deepen their understanding of the awesome power of the new birth. Our standard is always the Word of God.
Lifesavers takes the Word of God off the page and out of the pulpit and injects it right into the daily lives of individuals who have been crippled, maimed and almost destroyed by their ignorance of God's love as well as the ultimate plan for mankind for whom Christ gave His life to regain.
Base scriptures
What we stand on
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
