A Conversation with John Taylor

Tom Crandall

John and Cindi Taylor live to see God’s kingdom come and true worship arise from the “uttermost parts of the earth.” They had the privilege of serving for 15 years among an unreached people group in the Himalayas where they brought God’s kingdom in love, truth, and power. Passionate about missions, the Taylors continue to raise up national leaders in emerging indigenous churches—equipping, empowering, and sending them out as burning ones into the darkness. Out of a deep heart for the oppressed and the poor, they birth and provide mentorship for transformational businesses, which carry the kingdom into all facets of society. As arsons of the heart, the Taylors are mobilizing a fresh, Moravian-like movement of flaming arrows to go to the least-reached peoples and the most Gospel-neglected places on the planet. They long to see the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His sufferings amongst all peoples.

Anxiety began to rise in me as I was about to preach a crusade in Oroville, CA. The room was packed, electric, and expectant. I walked behind the stage and began to fight thoughts that were trying to make me afraid, “Do I have what it takes to do this?” “What if I miss it?” “Have I prepared myself enough for this moment?” I knew I couldn’t afford to let these thoughts settle, so I began to thank God for who He is, declare truth, and refocus on Christ and my assignment to serve this city. The nervous feeling didn’t go away, but the gripping fear did. This was about Christ, not me, and the enemy was trying to distract me with fear and anxiety, but God was refocusing me. The breakthrough that night was huge. In three days, around 200 people committed their lives to Jesus Christ, and over 20 churches were united around the gospel. It was a big victory for the Kingdom of God, but it didn’t come without a fight. There is always a fight. Fear, and its cousin anxiety, have an assignment: paralyze, immobilize, and make us small. We’ve all felt it, but did you know that in Christ, it’s more than possible to rule over fear? I have wrestled this demon more times than I can count, but I have learned a few things that have empowered me to blast through fear, live big, and fulfill the call of God on my life that I want to share with you!
