Rev. Patrick and Josie Stevenson
In the year 2003, Patrick and Josie Stevenson came to live in Malta. They had a love for the people and the country. They started by teaching the Word of God and helping people find their ministry.
During 2004, the Lord spoke to them concerning opening another church in Malta. On 16 January 2005, they held t he first meeting of Live Seed Christian Centre. The premises were in Birkirkara and held just 30 people. Four people were in the first service. However, very soon the premises became too small and in October 2006, the church moved to larger premises in Qormi.
The mission statement is: “Live Seed Christian Centre exists to make known the Biblical truth of the Father-heart of God through preaching, teaching, and demonstrating the power of God in order that lives are transformed.”
THE VISION
- That men and women will become established in the word of God.
2. That men and women will move in the power of the anointing to minister to those with whom they come into contact.
3. That the premises of Live Seed Christian Centre will be used as a drop-in centre where people may study or pray in a quiet environment.
