My mom has had a lot of interesting phone calls in her life. I used to sit at the bottom of the stairs and listen to her talk on the phone when I was a kid. I wasn’t hearing both sides of the conversation, mind you. And if it was important mom would go talk in her room. Even so, there was some interesting stuff to listen to!
Yesterday’s phone call beat all. Mom got to have a conference call with well over 300 host site leaders for the August 1-2 Living Proof Live Simulcast. I can’t even wrap my mind around that! Over 300 people on their own phones, all connected at once! I’m amazed! I wasn’t listening in this time because I thought it would be awful to have Jackson squawking about his Cars! Fast cars! and Monster trucks! in the background.
The conference call reminded me that I should let all of our blog readers know about this simulcast opportunity. If there’s not a Living Proof Live event in your region this year, or if you can’t attend the one near you for whatever reason, you may have another chance to experience Living Proof Live.
The LPL event in Louisville, Kentucky, (August 1-2) will be simulcast to host sites throughout the country. That means there may be a church in your area where you can go to watch the live broadcast of the conference. I hesitate to say “watch” because it is much more than that. You are actually a participant. My church in Irving hosted the Get Out of That Pit simulcast in 2007 and it didn’t take long for me to forget that we weren’t actually at the main site. Hosting the simulcast was a great experience for our church. We loved getting to bring women together from sister churches all around our community. If you can’t find a satellite site in your area, it’s not too late to become one!

Is anyone already planning to attend the simulcast?

I am so thankful that our church has answered the call and we will be one of the sites in Arkansas. We are anticipating many ladies and gentlemen to join us as we experience God in this wonderful way. August seems so far away yet so close. Can’t wait!
I will be attending the one in Peoria, IL at Riverside Community Church.
I would love to meet some other Sietas there! We will be moving to Peoria on Saturday, so as of now, I will be attending by myself!
Hi
I just registered today for the simulcast at NorthRidge church (my home church) in Plymouth, MI.
Can’t wait!
Barb
I will be at the actual site- Southeast Christian Church. This will be WONDERFUL! I do agree, however, that being at a simulcast spot is just as great – I was in attendance at a simulcast spot for Get Out of that Pit.
Hope to attend one on Alaska. I did for the “Get Out of the Pit” simulcast in 2007 and what a treat to meet so many new sisters from around our state!
Warm in Alaska.
I plan to attend at my church in Nashville, TN. My husband really wants to go-would it be totally inappropriate to take him?
My church in Eureka, CA is a host church…we are so excited about this event….and I was thrilled to be one of those 300 listening in on the conference call yesterday!
I’ll be at the simulcast! Just bought my ticket yesterday. The church where I attend bible study is hosting . . . . First Church of God, Vancouver, WA. I am so excited 🙂
Okay I was able to attend the simulcast at Irving Baptist the last time and Amanda is soooo right.
Once everything gets going you completely forget you are watching a screen because you are so involved!! It was a great event!!
I hope to attend the one in Tulsa with my MIL.
So anyone that can, signup and attend..it will be awesome!
My church, Summerville Baptist in SC, is hosting the simulcast. I am looking forward to it!
I (literally) just bought my first plane ticket… to Texas. Yay!
Yes! I will be attending the Simulcast at Church on the Rock in Pascagoula, MS! I’m so excited!
Prayers and Blessings!
Rebecca
I plan on attending one in Louisiana. I was hoping a church near Baton Rouge would host a site. Right now, it looks like Kentwood is the closest.
Im surprised to see there is not one in the Hattiesburg Ms area, they usually do these things at Temple Bapt. there. I wish I could go but my son comes home from Thailand that day (2nd) after being there for 2 month. I wont miss picking him up from the airport for anything. sorry….but I will be in Atlanta !!!!!!!!!!!!yeah!!!!!!!!
Thanks for letting us know. I just went to the link you gave us and found a church near me (Georgia).
Although sign-ups have not officially started there, I am planning to attend. Can’t wait!
Yes I will be attending the one at New Beginings in Longview Tx!
Then going to the one in San Antonio! I’ll be up on that mountain for a long time baby!
My church Neighborhood in Visalia, CA is hosting Beth. I am so pleased and can’t wait to share her with my Siestas in my area.
Sue
I just bought my ticket last week. I’ll be there via Greenridge Baptist CHurch in CLarksburg MD.
Can’t wait!
Thank you for so much time, effort, and every thing else included to do such a blessed thing! Our church in Millington, Tennessee, is very proud to be one of the host churches to do the simulcast. God bless each of you taking a part in this. Much prayer is definately going into this great event!
That is so cool! Wish I could go! But my husband and I will hopefully flying to Asia that weekend for an exciting short-term ministry opportunity.
By the way … I just wanted to say, stop by my blog to see what happens when Siestas pray. 🙂
I live very close to Louisville, but I missed out on getting a ticket to the live event. I am bummed! I’ll have to check into simulcasts around our area.
Great blog! I am glad that I found it!
My 9 year old daughter and I are attending the one in Hinesville, GA…I can’t wait!!! I attended the LPL in Jacksonville in March and it was awesome…It will be a great time for my daughter and I to bond together in the Lord….I am excited to hear what the Lord will have to say to both of us!!!
My church is hosting and I can’t wait!!! Anticipating big things from God! (and a cute outfit from Beth!)
Can’t wait to go! I’ll be in Maumee, Ohio. I wish I could make it to San Antonio this year, but LPM via satellite is far better than no LPM conference at all!
Our church FBC Blairsville, GA (www.fbcvision.com) will be a host site for the simulcast. We did the Get Out of That Pit simulcast and the E-Woman simulcast and had a great response. We would love to have some Georgia, western North Carolina or Eastern Tennessee siestas join us in Blairsville.
We always have the privilege of having Lifeway Christian Stores come set up a mini-bookstore at our site and the ladies who attend just absolutely swamp the tables to purchase the items that Lifeway brings to sell.
Leah
I’m not going to the simulcast, but that’s only because I’m attending the REAL DEAL just two weeks prior in Minneapolis. It’s one of the most looked-forward-to events of 2008 for me.
I am getting to go to the one in Tupelo MS! I’m so thankful!
Steph
Missy, I will also be attending the Peoria, IL site at Riverside Community Church. I have to say I was a little put off by the high price of $45 for the simulcast! The women I know who most desperately need to hear Beth’s message and words of encouragement don’t have the money to participate! But I used my birthday money to cover my registration fee since I’ve heard Beth speak before and have always been revived by her energy and wise words of faith.
The church I attend has a group going to Louisville and there is another local church which is hosting the Simulcast. A lot of ladies are so looking forward to both!
I am seriously considering it … that is if I’m not on bedrest b/c I keep falling this pregnancy. I’ll know more next week but they are leaning towards bedrest … so can you simulcast at my house 🙂
I will be going to the one in Greenwood, Arkansas. Going to this one and the Siesta Fiesta in San Antonio in one month will certainly make my year!
No. I’m not going. I can only afford one conference or retreat a year and I already did mine this year when I went to Boise last weekend. Besides that particular weekend my husband has a men’s ministry event so.. Not happening. It sounds amazing though if you can actually feel like you’re actually there. I always thought why would I want to do that. I’m just watching them on a screen. I do that at my church all the time for a lot less money, but it doesn’t sound like it’s anything like watching one of her videos. I’ve always been amazed at how personalized it can feel (for lack of a better word) when you’re in a building with that many people. The people involved sure do a good job of making sure everyone feels that they are important. No one gets lost in those huge arenas. Well, at least not spiritually. Physically is a different matter for people like me who have no sense of direction. Actually I did fine in the conference center because I just came out the way I came in and didn’t bother trying to find the bookstore, because i would get turned around and get lost. Anyway, sounds awesome. I’m going to have to check one of those out some day. Hopefully, this time I’ll be coming with a smile on my face, right, Miss Beth.
Amanda
I also attended the “Get out of that Pit” last year and I am still looking for a church nearby. I feel like I live in the city of the forgotten- Long Island, New York. There are some sites in NY but very far from where I live. I got to attend a LPL event in New Jersey few years back. I was so looking forward to SA in August but can’t afford it due loss of job and a single mom.
Hi Amanda,
I just received a call today from the host representative at Cornerstone Church in Long Beach, CA. She is sending me all the info I need to attend. I’m going to talk this up wherever I can. I’m so looking forward to this and maybe introducing a few new women to the siestahood.
Praise God for technology!!
I had two tickets to Louisville and traded them for San Antonio and I would love to go to the one in Louisville but it is sold out. I just remembered after reading this post that I still have my hotel reservations. I am praying that God will bless me with tickets again but if not I will go to the one in Brentwood, Tn. I have attended all the simulcasts and they are great. I am so thankful to God, LifeWay and Beth for another avenue to meet together in His Word!!
Love,
Patty
5 wonderful friends and myself are attending at the only church in Utah hosting the event. Can’t wait!! It is a birthday present (Aug 1)from my sweet hubby!!!
I was actually lucky enough to be in on that conference call. Don’t think for one second that we weren’t sitting muted on the other end of that line going “yahoo-jah!” Please let your sweet mama know that out here in Atlanta we’ve got an email prayer chain for the conference going, including the specific prayer requests she mentioned yesterday. Can’t wait till August!
I am sooooooooooooo excited that there will be one at MY church in Troy, Michigan (Kensington Community Church). I wouldn’t miss it for the world and I’m already signed up! It’s just a couple of weeks before the Siesta Fiesta so I’m looking forward to a great Summer!
God continues to Amaze me… and technology? Wow!
Love you guys,
Angie xoxo
i’m praying that we could do something like this in hawaii if not now then perhaps the next one. my church had done something very similar but with the time frame we needed a team to record it in the wee hours of the morning then played it afterwards. anything is possible right?
i’m sure y’all will be blessed and i’ll be blessed when you folks blog about it. awesome! ~linda.
I was told that we were hosting a simulcast, but our name was not on the list, so maybe not. I’m going to call and find out. Thanks for the heads up! Maybe that’s why she (as in your mom) hired both you and Melissa: You Know Too Much!
(lol, I know it’s because it’s part of your heritage and because you both are so willing to be used by God!)
Love you!
Lisa in Kirkland, WA
WE are sooooo excited that we too will be able to host a site. Reno Christian Fellowship is partnering with our Church, Sparks Christian Fellowship and we are set to go and can hardly wait. We are going to be able to accomidate 400 hungry souls for Christ and hopefully turn some lost ones on to Him. Thank you so much for doing what you do you are all so loved.
Oh Amanda, you reminded me of that Get Out of the Pit simulcast. I was in Hoffman Estates, Illinois and remember your mom talking about how you did your hair “big” for the day so everyone would “recognize” you as Beth’s daughter. What a hoot! I would have loved to see your “do” that day.
Yes, I am anxiously awaiting the simulcast and have moved since the last one, so I will probably attend in Richmond, Virginia, which is the closest large city near me. August 3rd is my 40th birthday, so it will be a gift to me to attend the LPL event via simulcast with my best friend. It’s the next best thing to being in San Antonio a few weeks later for the Siesta Fiesta. I was hoping THAT event would be my 40th birthday gift, but the timing coincides with my oldest child starting his freshman year of high school, so I can’t miss that and will have to be at home.
Thanks for the reminder! I agree, it is a lot like being there! Looking forward to it,
Michelle
I have been to a simulcast and it is a blast.
I think it is an amazing way to experience a LPL event without having to travel too far
God bless
Kim
Are there any sites in Ontario, Canada or online perhaps? Thanks!
Ticket in hand for Greensboro, NC. Can’t wait.
Can’t wait!!!!!
This is not about the simulcast, but…
There is a very little baby whose mom is only 8 weeks along. The parents aren’t married; in fact, broke up about a month ago. The mom is very angry and wants an abortion. The dad is very sad and wants the baby.
Their Christian friends are trying to help the mom think calmly and to make healthy choices for herself and her baby. (One of her friends had an abortion five years ago when she was 15 and still cries herself to sleep every night.)
Please pray for the mom, and the baby, and the dad, and the friends, that God’s love would be so real to each of them, that the mom especially would know beyond a shadow of a doubt how very very much He loves her, and that the life of this baby would be spared.
Thank you.
Alyson
Our church in Raleigh, NC is hosting the simulcast at Covenant Church International.
You are right that even at a simulcast, you feel the presence of the Lord and you feel like you are at the live event.
I just received my ticket for the one at my home church TPCC in Indianapolis, IN. I can’t wait. I just discovered Beth this past year and have been following her on a local station that carries her on Wednesday evenings. I can’t tell you how wonderful and encouraging it has been following her and your blog. Thanks for all that you do.
Our ladies from Calvary Baptist in Erwin TN are so tickled to be attending a simulcast in Johnson City TN at Boone Ridge Baptist! What a wonderful concept, Beth!
I wish every one of your events could be available via satelite to those of us who can’t be there in person.
I absolutely can’t wait to be there!
Amber in TN
