The book Venture With GOD: Stepping Beyond Comfort Into A Life Of Faith, by Mary Ann & Kerry Lord

Our Story

The Lord Family left a comfortable job with great benefits and hit the road in an old greyhound bus that should have gone to the junk yard rather than their yard. Many said they were crazy and it wouldn't last a month, but the Lord Family knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that GOD had said otherwise. They weren't sure how HE would take care of a large family of eight, but they stepped out in faith trusting HIS WORD that GOD had confirmed to both Mary Ann and Kerry.

Throughout the years they met some pretty wonderful folks along the way, many they still keep in contact with twenty years later. They compiled four CD's and a few DVD's. They logged over 172,000 miles with three different buses and several vans! They did over 1,260 services/concerts for tens of thousands of people in 26 different denominations as well as fairgrounds, parks, prisons, campgrounds, Christian schools, youth camps, Senior Retirement Communities, truck stops, nursing homes, Para-church ministries, and various Native American reservations. Plus wherever GOD orchestrated HIS “Divine Appointments” on the highways and byways! They went to thirty-five states and a little bit of Canada. Most of all they witnessed GOD save thousands for HIS kingdom! GOD far exceeded any of their dreams and brought them many ventures with HIM.

Their six children all love the LORD and serve HIM! For this they are truly thankful! The kids gave up a lot over the years to serve in ministry on the road including friends, relationships, pets, sports and work. Fortunately, GOD made it possible for the Lord Family to keep their home in Maine which was an amazing blessing. Songs are still being written, mostly now by the children! GOD has infused some pretty outstanding gifts in them all.

It wasn't always easy, but over a decade later, they all would say, “It was worth it!”

Perhaps inside of you there is a dream about doing something beyond what feels possible? Something within says, "It must be done!" Yet, so many say, "No way!"

This book will encourage you and give you many wonderful tools on your journey to fulfilling what GOD has placed inside of you!

There are many examples of people in the Bible who aren't equipped enough, brave enough, strong enough or smart enough; yet GOD still chose them to do great things!

Join modern-day sojourners, The Lord Family, on their "Venture With GOD" to fulfill the dream HE placed in them. They saw GOD do the impossible for over a decade and know first-hand that...

I look forward to your book! God blessed you with a beautiful, fruitful Family Ministry in the Northeast and in many areas across the US! So proud of you all!! Life is full of challenges and adventure in the Service of His Kingdom!! What a joy to have you and your beautiful family in our lives and minister together with your precious ones numerous times through the years!! We have valued your Ministry!! Your family from the youngest to the oldest were so beautiful and anointed as they ministered showing they had learned from their family worship, devotion times and their own personal quiet times before the Lord. I Believe lives were impacted and changed through the ministry and through the years!!!! Love you all!!

The real ministry was using what we had to glorify GOD! The broken down bus and a humble attitude with hearts full of love wanting to obey the call to go and sing!

Their family of eight lived by faith traveling the US and Canada singing and sharing the Gospel of JESUS. They have done numerous seminars on marriage, family, and living by faith. Kerry was awarded an honorary Doctorate Degree in Evangelism. Mary Ann teaches piano at "Lord's School of Music". Their latest passion is encouraging those who sense a call to do the impossible with GOD!

Back in 2002 the Lord Family left a comfortable job with great benefits and hit the road in an old greyhound bus that should have gone to the junk yard rather than their yard. Many said they were crazy and it wouldn't last a month, but the Lord Family knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that GOD said otherwise. They weren't sure how HE would take care of a large family, but they stepped out in faith trusting HIS WORD! "Venture With GOD" is a true story of a family of eight that took GOD at HIS word. GOD saw them through, providing many miracles, sustaining them, and protecting them for over a decade. They were privileged to minister in thirty-five States at fairgrounds, parks, prisons, campgrounds, Christian Schools, youth camps, Senior Retirement Communities, truck stops, nursing homes, Para-church ministries, Native American reservations as well as going into twenty-six different denominations. GOD allowed them to reach tens of thousands and saw many individuals become "born again!" They did over 1,260 services/concerts logging 172,000 miles in three different buses and several vans.
