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!
If you’d like to know more about the simulcast, here are two helpful links for you:

Is anyone already planning to attend the simulcast?

The simulcast is AWESOME I went last year and LOVED it! Everyone needs to sign up if there is one in your town… or even look into being a host church!
I was so bummed that the Louisville event was sold out since I’m close to it, but now my church is hosting the simulcast and I get to help serve!!! It’s at Indian Creek Christian Church in Indianapolis. We have 1600 tickets available and we are PRAYING that it will be a sold out event and reach many, many people in our community for Christ – and for those who already know Him to live in greater FREEDOM and JOY. Also, the proceeds are going to benefit Shepherd Community Center here in Indy. Go to http://www.shepherdcommunitycenter.org and you will see the promo for the LPL event!!
I also attended the Get Out of that Pit simulcast and agree that it was AWESOME!!!
Love,
Linda
oops.. I think I gave the wrong web address.. it’s http://www.shepherdcommunity.org (not shepherdcommunitycenter.org)
Thanks!
Amanda,
I’m so excited — I will be there LIVE in Louisville. It will be only my 2nd LPL to attend which is shameful because (a) I’ve been a facilitator of your Mom’s studies for 10 years this year and (b) Travis and Angela are good friends of mine, as well as Julie and Lici on the praise team. Yes, I know — so sad!
Anyone else going to be in Louisville? I’d love to meet up with some other Siestas while there.
Blessings,
Dori
Our church is hosting in Waco. I actually think one of my husband’s best friends is getting married that weekend, so I might miss the simulcast, but I am comforted because I have my ticket to SA and the Siesta Fiesta!
I am on the prayer team for the simulcast at our church…very excited to be a part of it however I can.
Blessings,
Corrie
Yes! I’ll be attending the one in Herndon, Virginia. We only live 30 minutes away but we are totally staying at a hotel nearby and making an extra special event out of it.
Bring it, Beth!
I am excited as I will be attending my first conference with your mom in San Antonio, TX in August.
Our church is hosting. We are excited about the event. I have attended several live events and I know how powerful the event will be!
i am! i am!! my fest friend and i were gonna make the drive from athens, al to KY for it, but i’ll have an 8 week old that i would have to leave at home (along with 2 other little rascals) and this was the perfect solution!! after we attended Deeper Still in Nashville, we have been itchin’ for our Beth to bring us some more of the word. she is such a vessel and we are proud that she humbles herself to let the Lord use her.
plus…this way, i got to invite more friends to come along!!
Is there simulcast for Deeper Still?
Really want to see that..
Alyce
I will be at a simulcast!!! I’m so excited, I can’t hardly see straight. I’m glad to know that it’s just as good as being there in person. Bless you all, sweet Siestas!!!
We are very excited to be hosting the event in Oklahoma! We have already started praying for the service. We are anticipating many people.Can’t wait to hear what Beth has to share with us.
I’ll be attending the simulcast at Asbury UMC in Madison, AL!
I AM ATTENDING IN ALABAMA! Thanks for the heads up!!
Just bought my ticket this week – whahoo!!!
The Journey Continues ~
Blessings to you Amanda!
I appreciate all the updates!

I have had several people contact me via email regarding the cute photos of your mom on my blogspot.
It is an honor to have her part of my family!
I already have my tickets to the Simulcast in Boone, NC. I absolutely cannot wait. The four ladies from my home group are going together… and all of them (except me) are newbies.
If any other Siestas are going to be in Boone, NC let me know. I’d love to meet up.
I’m so glad you mentioned this Amanda! Our church hosted the Get Out of the Pit similcast last year, too and it was so awesome! You truly do feel like a part of everything and it is so amazing to know you are worshipping with so many women around the US. Unfortunaltely we are not hosting this time, but thanks to your link I was able to find a church in my area that is! I’m so excited!
~Kristin
I will be attending the simulcast in Ajax, Ontario, CANADA!
PRAISE THE LORD!!!!! I’M ATTENDING ONE IN SLIDELL, LOUISIANA!!!!!!
I have my ticket in my billfold, and I am attending at First Baptist, Fulton Missouri!!! I last saw Beth when she was in Columbia MO. The blessings that have come from her teaching I will be thankful for, forever. Praise God!
Our church is hosting the simulcast, I’ll be there! Table Rock Fellowship, Medford OR.
Okay I have a question if you can answer me great. I am here in the KC area and I know of one or two of them. But I am coming to San Antonio for the Siesta Fiesta, will it be the same event as will the topics be the same? I am just thinking financially and time wise, would I just be best to hold off until San Antonio? Hopefully not to confusing!

Oh, and the first simulcast we hosted was the “Get Out of That Pit”. Outstanding! We’ve hosted them ever since.
I will be attending the one hosted by Minden United Methodist, Minden NE. This a small town just 20 minutes south of Kearney. I know this will be a total blessing! I just love to meet new friends who love Jesus and love studying his precious word! I have not been to a simulcast. I have missed the last couple offered in our town. I am looking forward to it!
I will be there at the Kansas City site!! I can’t wait!! I hope it is as good as being there next to Beth! Thank you for having this available!!
Is it August yet?!?!?

OH MY GOSH!!! I was one of the over 300 and was just downright blown away by the technology of it all. Then a couple of hours later, one of my spiritual daughters called me from spain where she is doing an internship for Avant Ministries and introduced me to skype.com where you can talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime by webcam. I was able to see her and talk to her! What a world!!
We will be participating at our church, Frederick Boulevard Baptist in St. Joseph, MO. Praise God!!

I’m IN!!!! I missed going to San Diego….so now I get get to go down the street to see Beth! They just anounced it last night at bible study….can’t wait!
Heather in CA (Visalia)
I am so excited too that a bunch of my girlfriends and I will be physically on site at Southeast Christian in L’ville!! (We were there when Beth came the last time…2000, I think.) 🙂 We “hard-core Beth groupies” (as my hubby lovingly calls us) live 45 miles south of L’ville, but have ventured to Indiana, Ohio, Alabama, and Tennessee, to attend LPL events. Our church also hosted the Colorado simulcast a few years ago, and a group of us went to the “Get Out of That Pit
simulcast. They were both awesome. Looking so forward to August!
My, I have heard of Conference calls, but with 300 different churches? That is simply AMAZING!!! Hallelujah !
I would sure like to come to this event, so I am going to try to find out if my church has the capabilities of having the simulcast there, or try to convince the other church across town to have this one, as they did with the 2007 Simulcast!!! I am praying that it is possible!
In Christ’s Love,

I’ve already got my ticket. This same church hosted the Get Out of That Pit simulcast too. It will be here before you know it!

HI there. This is unrelated but the Stephen Curtis Chapman familt suffered a tragic loss today. If you stop by my blog you can find a link to the article which explains everything. I don’t know if you knew or not….
Siestas lets pray for that dear family!
Thank you LPM for doing Simulcast events!!! I think God is truly leading you in this way to reach so many more people for Christ – I was just thinking how a simulcast will make it so much easier for us to bring non-Christians to an event like this (rather than to a colliseum with assigned tickets – make sense?) I praise God for what is doing and will do Aug. 1-2nd!
I will be participating in Greensboro, NC. This will be my second simucast I have attended. A few years back I went to Kernersville, NC to “watch” Beth. I attended the Raleigh conference and seeing Beth live is wonderful. The next best thing is to attend a simucast. The Spirit of the Lord is there whether is live or simucast. Can’t wait for August 1 and 2nd. I’m ready ! CINDY in HIGH POINT, NC
I’ll be in Louisville!
And I just have to meet up with some siestas. I bought my ticket (not thinking as I should’ve bought two!) and by the time I found someone to go with me it was sold out! So I’ll be coming by my lonesome and look forward to hooking up with some of you…especially since I can’t be a the fiesta. Looking forward to it!
Prayers to all…
And let’s all be praying for Steven Curtis Chapman’s family. I just heard the tragic news and am literally sick.
Kelli
I’m planning on attending the simulcast at a local church. So, that’ll be twice in one month that I get to “see” my BFF Beth speak!!!
I can’t fathom that many people on one phone call. Did your mama do all the talking? How would you ask a question over 299 other folks???
Our church is a host site again. Sadly I will not be able to go because of a Mother/Daughter retreat that was previously scheduled.
Amanda,
I don’t know if you or Beth have heard the news yet, but Steven Curtis Chapman’s 5 year old daughter Maria was killed. (here’s a link to the article on FoxNews http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,357046,00.html)
I just felt compelled to ask you to post a short blog so that all the siestas can be praying for him, his family, and especially the son who was driving the car that struck her. I pray the Lord Jesus protect them from any enemy attack that is sure to come in moments of tragedy. Steven’s music and heart for Jesus and for orphans has so blessed me. I feel almost a personal loss for him.
Thank you for considering a post.
I am sincerely hoping to attend. A few scheduling details to work out – but it looks hopeful!
Peace,
Sister Lynn
I am a host site leader for the simulcast at our church, Brushy Creek Baptist in Taylors, SC. We’ve got 250 signed up so far and hoping to reach capacity at 800. The planning for this event and the response has been awesome!
I’ll be at the church in Louisville with my frind, Judy, who has NEVER been to a Living Proof Live event. Can’t wait!
I am very close to Louisville also and went to register close to a year ago ! and if was full.I also let the one at Indy get past me so you can be sure if there is ever another close I will be on top of it. So there is a simulcast at Floyd Knobs so will try and go to that.
Pam in Southern In.
Planning to attend? hmm, I hadn’t given it a single thought. My mind just assumed I would be there…it is my friend Beth Moore speaking afterall!! 🙂
Love y’all,
Lisa
Oh, I wish I could!!! I have a couple of my wedding showers that weekend. I’m the guest of honor so I kind of have to be there. Hey, maybe we could all attend the simulcast instead. Not sure how that would work but it would be great!
I’ll be with you all in Spirit!
Thanks to Bet. Five Sietas will be attendind in Dighton,MA.
I am so proud to say FBC Rockwall is a host home!!!!!!! God put it on the hearts of many to reach out to others in our community and everything is falling into place perfectly. I just don’t even think our church staff can wrap their heads around what this means. You all keep up the good work & thanks for letting us be a part of it all.
Our church in Boerne, TX is one of the sites and we are so excited! What a privilege.
I will be attending the simulcast in Burleson, TX. I am so excited! I’ve never gotten to attend an LP Event and am so looking forward to this.
Blessings,
Marita
I have the date saved and plan to attend at the host church which is The Church at Rocky Peak in Simi Valley, Ca…Looking forward to it!
I have done two simulcast and two events, and they have all been incredible! I will attend the simulcast at Grove City Church of the Nazarene and then attend the LPL event a couple weeks later in San Antonio. Trying to make up for not being able to attend any last year. ;o)
For any siesta who is attending the actual event in Louisville and hasn’t found hotel accommodations, I have a room reserved near Southeast Christian Church that I will not need. I’m not sure how we can work it out, but if you’re in need of a room email me.
