A God Vision

Hi I'm James Staskelunas. Here is a brief summery of my story. Ever since a young age I have always had an eclectic taste for different styles of music. I started off listening to bands like Skid Row and Bon Jovi in the eighties when i was in my younger years and as time progressed I began listening to DJ Jazzy Jeff (the fresh prince) and Run DMC. As I grew up  I  found that I had a gift for performing and going into highschool I joined my first band as a singer with dreams of making it as a rock star. We were like a "NU Metal" Deftones rip off band and I was 16 and ready for the big time as we played in seedy bars and drank and smoked "cigarettes" among other...well you get the point. I was a broken teenager with big dreams but it wouldn't be until years later that those dreams would start to materialize. So a year in jail later and with much pain and sorrow I entered into the kingdom and gave my life to Jesus Christ. I went to the movie The Passion Of The Christ. And in that theater on February 25th 2004 I wept bitterly as I watched my savior whipped and beaten for me and my  sins! Then the triumphant ending as he walked out of the tomb resurrected! I left the theater with fire in my heart and I was forever changed. I now use all my gifts for the glory of God and reach out through my Club Zion  ministry to a broken world with my music and the Love that has been shed abroad in my heart. I need monthly donators or one time donators who want to partner in spreading the gospel through this ministry. Christian clubs, movies and video games are on the rise and the arts are an amazing platform to reach sinners in desperate need of Gods love and forgiveness. Anything you can give will be eternally rewarded. Bless you! Lets spread the Good news together. www.clubzionct.com Club Zion is part of a larger vision. There is a building in Connecticut that is for sale. It is a large Warehouse. With five levels that needs to be redone. My gifting is in the Arts, business, music, and media. As well as other giftings. I received a prophecy years ago that I was going to own two clubs one on the east and west coast and it was going to become a movement and it was going to be done in warehouses with excellence. I was driving through the city the other day and I came across this warehouse and I felt the fire of God. Club Zion is dedicated to reaching out to a culture that has been unreached. And primarily rejected by the church. Club Zion will be a place of healing and a place of love and acceptance for those who are cast out by the society as well as a place of unity and growth for the body. It's about reaching out to a culture that longs for the love of God. There's many genres of worship music. There is worship heavy metal music, worship hip hop music and worship EDM music among others. Club Zion will be a venue that caters to all genres and all cultures and people groups and cultivates an atmosphere of unity like heaven on Earth. The glory of God. Manifested in our lives. The love of God in our hearts.! It's not about the sound it's about the heart Behind the Music. When we go to church what is the first thing we do? We pray and then worship God with a style of worship music which pertains to the style and culture in the church we are in. To say that the music isn't important wouldn't be completely accurate. At Club Zion we worship with music that's relevant to many different cultures but has primarily started with the inner city and urban cultures and will be a place that reaches into all cultures in the area in which we live. A venue with worship concerts and theater events as well as a place for the Arts to thrive for the glory of God. Religion says act like me, go to church like me, dress like me, and believe like me in all aspects and "then" I love you. Let me qualify that. The doctrines of the Christian faith are to be followed wholeheartedly. Yet we put extra rules on top of what God has made simple. That's why Jesus said the whole law is summed up in this command to love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus loves Sinners right where they're at and doesn't expect them to change their outward appearance because he's more interested in our hearts. I've been to worship metal concerts that were more anointed than any church service I've been to "for me" because that's how I connect. Because that style of music speaks to me. Not all styles will speak to everybody yet we should not judge fellow believers for the music they listen to or culture they come from just because they're different from us. Rather we should embrace our differences and focus on our commonality Jesus in US. If you're my brother in Christ we are one body. It's about the heart not about the outward appearance. Let's love each other in unity and accept each other even in our differences and in that place God will give the increase. Even as in the book of Acts they got together daily and broke bread and were of one Accord and God added to their numbers daily. And when they didn't have, or a brother was in need they sold what they had and gave to those who had need. That's what this vision is all about. Unity and love. Also in the building there will be a movie studio and a record label. Dedicated to Jesus. I have giftings in many styles of music and I have written a movie. I don't say that to be boastful it's just how God created me and it's my gift. This is not something I made up this is his vision through me. We partner with the Holy Spirit to fulfill his dreams in us because he's the one who created us with all our gifts and and talents. God is able to give you anything you ask for because all things are his and all things are ours because we're his sons and daughters. There's many other things I can say but thats the heart. The building has five levels 460000 square feet and it's a warehouse. The Lord wants us to think big and dream huge. Because he's always dreaming bigger. It's his dream and when we get on board with that the sky's the limits!. Blessings!!!
