ABOUT US: Gary and Valerie Liggins

In preparation for "S.W.A.T.T. For Jesus" January 8, 2004, Gary and Valerie, closed their doors to the S.W.A.T.T. Fitness Camp  (For training clientele, see below).  They sacrificed their home, fitness camp, and lifestyle in order to hear the Lord. He wanted their full attention while He revealed what they were unknowingly being prepared for.

They traveled 500 miles north, which put them in the Bay area. As they spent time in San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley, where they lived on the streets, the Lord had them meet with various individuals ranging from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese Office as part of their Task Team in support of family and marriage, along with the Baptist Churches, to the Berkeley Home Churches, and of course, the youth whom He had laid upon their heart.

They made many trips there, and it became very clear that many of these youth and young adults are very confused. Not only by the messages given to them by the world, but also by some pastors and ministers who saturate their congregations in "prosperity preaching." 

As followers of Jesus, we know that blessings and prosperity come in many forms, and cannot and should not only be measured by money or material things. As a result, the youth and young adults are finding themselves with few answers, which often lead them to go along with the world's values of self-indulgence with material things, fast food, alcohol & drugs, and sexual misconduct. 

The growing concerns about  our youth and young adults has created a call to action for Holiness.

The S.W.A.T.T. For Jesus Youth World Holiness Tour: Mission is designed to build youth and young adults spiritually, mentally, and physically; preparing them to be strong future leaders whose lives are centered on holiness.  LINK: SWATT FOR JESUS YOUTH ASSOCIATION
