Welcome

handshakeVictory Fellowship is located in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Lonnie Parton has pastored Victory Fellowship Church since 1985. We are desperately seeking the manifest presence of Jesus to transform God's people and our region. Victory Fellowship is committed to making 2 Chronicles 7:14 a lifestyle, "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, I will forgive their sins and I will heal their land".

In 2004 God moved on the leadership of the church to make a radical change from being a program driven church to a presence based church. For more information on this dramatic change click "Pastor's Book" and you can read how this transpired. Victory Fellowship is a leader in the region to promote the values of 2 Chronicles 7:14 and to see Presence-based Transformation.

We invite you to join with us on Sunday. Each service is intentionally designed with a focus on Jesus in worship and the ministry of the Word. You will have an opportunity to respond to an altar call during the service. Please feel free to do so.

cd CDs of the morning's worship service are available following the service. CDs are $5.00 each. See Scott Maskell.

mp3 icon Sermons are now available online. Go to VictorySounds and listen to an compressed mp3 version of the message online or download them.

Pastor Lonnie's book, Desperate People in Desperate Times, is now under revision. It will be reposted as soon as available.

Corporate Fast begins February 1

DAY 1: SEEK GOD TO AWAKEN OUR HEARTS TO DESIRE HIM
When you said, "Seek my face," my heart said to You, "Your face, O Lord, shall I seek." Ps. 27:8

DAY 2: SEEK GOD TO GIVE US PURE HEARTS
"Who may ascend to the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart." Ps. 24:3-4

DAY 3: SEEK GOD TO IMPART ZEALOUS PASSION FOR HIM
"He shall receive a blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, even as Jacob." Ps. 24:5-6

DAY 4: SEEK GOD FOR HUMILITY BEFORE GOD
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

DAY 5: SEEK GOD TO UNITE HIS PEOPLE
"Jehoshaphat was afraid and turned his attention to seek the Lord" "So Judah gathered together to seek help from the Lord; they even came from all the cities of Judah to seek the Lord" "For we are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on You." 2 Chronicles 20:3-4, 12

DAY 6: SEEK GOD FOR AN OUTPOURING OF HIS SPIRIT
"For I will pour water on the thirsty ground and send streams coursing through the parched earth. I will pour my Spirit into your descendants and my blessing on your children. They shall sprout like grass on the prairie, like willows alongside creeks. This one will say, 'I am God's,' and another will go by the name Jacob. That one will write on his hand 'God's property' and be proud to be called Israel." Isaiah 44:3-5

DAY 7: SEEK GOD TO MANIFEST HIS PRESENCE
"How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O Lord, they walk in the light of Your countenance. In your name they rejoice all the day." Ps. 89:15-16
