1 PRESENTING UNBOUND TEACHING THROUGH A LIVE FREE! CONFERENCE What is "Unbound"? Unbound deliverance ministry starts with belief in the good news of Jesus Christ, that he has come to set the captives free and proclaim liberty to the oppressed. You can find a more detailed explanation of the model in Neal Lozano's book, Unbound: A Practical Guide to Deliverance. In a sense, there is nothing new about Unbound. Neal preaches the timeless gospel but in a way that makes the power of the Word truly accessible to believers. His inspired model of deliverance prayer guides people in making a response to Jesus, as they turn from evil influences, open their hearts more fully to the Holy Spirit, and receive the Father's blessing. For more information on the Lozano's mission, visit Heart of the Father's website, Unbound-Michigan works in cooperation with Heart of the Father and under the authority of the Catholic church in Michigan. We promote the message of Unbound through teaching, training, and ministry. Our mission is simple: We want to widen the network of Unbound prayer minister so that everyone seeking more freedom in Jesus can receive prayer as efficiently and effectively. as possible. Visit our website to learn more: Is Live Free! the same conference as Heart of the Father's Unbound: Freedom in Christ conference? Although Unbound-Michigan maintains an open and warm relationship with Heart of the Father, we are not formally affiliated with them and do not directly represent them. We have developed our own conference, called Live Free! to share the message of Unbound in conjunction with a basic message of conversion and discipleship. John and Michelle Kazanjian present the conference with support from various members of the Unbound-Michigan team and occasional guest speakers. The conference can be structured as a one-day, two-day, or three-day event. Whatever the framework, participants are taught sequential steps to freedom, which Neal Lozano terms "The Five Keys." Repenting for sin and surrendering to Jesus Extending forgiveness in agreement with the forgiveness given through Jesus Christ Renouncing the lies of Satan and his works against us Taking authority over the work of evil Receiving the Father s blessing During short ministry times throughout the conference, prayer teams guide participants in responding to the message of the various keys. We allow for people to do this in the large group setting or in quiet prayer if they are not comfortable with the one-on-one ministry encounters. last revised November 26,

2 Live Free Endorsements "I write to encourage you to attend the Live Free! conference. Unbound is a truly Catholic form of deliverance ministry that helps people heal from past wounds, sins and oppression that are keeping them from experiencing the fullness of life and joy in Jesus Christ. I have heard from the priests who experienced Unbound prayer ministry at our recent priests' convocation that they found the very moving and fruitful. Again, I encourage you to attend this conference." Archbishop Michael Byrnes, Guam (formerly Archdiocese of Detroit) "I had the experience of going through Unbound myself about year ago now and it did change my life. I had been on sabbatical for a little over three months, and during that time the Lord stirred up a number of things that I had either forgotten about from my past or had never really dealt with. By the time the Live Free! conference came around I was fertile soil for experiencing the Lord s mercy, His blessing, His unconditional love, and especially His healing and freedom in some areas of my life where I didn t even know I needed healing. The experience of praying through the five keys is impossible for me to put into words, but suffice it to say that I return often in my daily prayer to things that I either saw as I was getting prayed with or heard. Our Father is so good! And He so longs for His sons and daughters to be free, to know His love for us by name. More than anything, He wants us to come to an ever greater awareness that His love and His blessing are not rewards for anything we have (or haven t done) but are instead His free gifts to us." Fr. John Riccardo ~ Pastor, Our Lady of Good Counsel, Plymouth, MI Unbound Endorsements "The conference Neal Lozano presents on deliverance training is a very practical, timely answer to ministry needs in the church today. It is the kind of practical teaching and training both clergy and lay leaders in the church need to help those in their care." Peter Herbeck, author and radio host of "Crossing the Goal," Renewal Ministries "Unbound ministry is a wonderful gift to the church the five keys made a real impact on me." Rev. Peter F. Ryan, S.J., Executive Director, Secretariat of Doctrine, United States Council of Catholic Bishops "I have found the five keys a great tool to aid the work of trying to bring healing and freedom to people's lives." Most Reverend Andrew H. Cozzens, Auxiliary Bishop, Minneapolis, MN last revised November 26,

3 The Presenters John and Michelle Kazanjian serve as lay missionaries with Renewal Ministries in Ann Arbor. They own a family business serving University of Michigan students and stay busy with their family of five daughters, four sons-in-law, and four grandchildren. John and Michelle have been active in Catholic ministry throughout their adult lives and have participated in Unbound Ministry for more than a decade. They are the founders of Unbound-Michigan and developed the Live Free! conference and the Give Free! training workshop together. Personal Endorsement for John and Michelle Kazanjian John and Michelle Kazanjian have been effective instruments of God's grace to bring about healing and freedom in the lives of many people suffering from various levels of spiritual bondage and oppression. Over the past number of years they have become key leaders and important teachers of the Unbound model of prayer ministry. They have successfully trained hundreds of clergy and lay leaders in the application of the Five Keys which are the heart of this pastorally sound method of prayer. The secret to their fruitfulness in ministry is rooted in their maturity as disciples of Jesus, years of experience in direct ministry, a genuine compassion and determination to help set captives free, and an amazing set of complimentary teaching and ministry gifts. I'm honored to be able to offer this endorsement on their behalf. John and Michelle are a gift to the Church and together are a powerful example of the kind of "missionary disciples" Pope Francis has told us that all the baptized are called to be. Peter Herbeck, Renewal Ministries Money Matters Unbound-Michigan does not charge speaker fees for this conference. We do ask that you cover travel and lodging for the team when the distance away exceeds 60 miles. (Note: Since we have team from all over the state of Michigan, you will need to check with us for details about how many team members need support in order to come.) If you would like to give a stipend, you can donate to our organization. All donations will go to support ministry efforts like print materials and team education. Working Together Unbound-Michigan will work with you to tailor the conference structure to your needs. However, we would like to approach the effort collaboratively. This means that we want to do more than just send speakers to give talks. We ask to be included on your conference planning committee; we will take the lead on providing the prayer ministry training and directing the prayer teams. In the state of Michigan, we can offer prayer ministry through our network to attendees after the conference. Ideally, we hope to help you develop a local prayer team connected to our wider network, although this is optional. (For out-of-state conferences, we sometimes can come a week earlier or stay a week later to provide more prayer ministry experiences and mor training for your team.) last revised November 26,

4 The Big Picture Unbound-Michigan generally presents the Live Free! conference in the context of a three-part effort, in order to further the training of our team and accomplish our mission of widening the network of trained ministers. 1) Pre-conference training, within one month before the conference (this prepares a team of people who have learned about Unbound through reading, study group, or another conference to do the short "wall ministry" at this conference) 2) Live Free! Conference in which people new to ministry pair up with our experienced team members who model and mentor praying with others for freedom 3) Give Free! Training Workshop within two months after the conference (this prepares people to offer longer personal prayer ministry) Finally, if a full conference with prayer ministry is more than you are up for, We can offer you a one to two-hour Unbound "clinic," which is an overview of the teaching with group prayer response. Thanks for your interest in our mission! We look forward to working with you. John and Michelle Kazanjian & respectively (Michelle is the event contact) last revised November 26,
