RADIO
Bob recently completed his 20th year of syndicated radio broadcasting. "TALK-BACK with Bob Larson" was heard coast-to-coast across the U.S. and Canada. The two-hour program, broadcast
weekdays live-by-satellite, featured tough topics others wouldn't touch. Bob's incisive views on current events were enhanced by a format of live callers and riveting guests. Bob now hosts a daily, 5 minute commentary called, "Spiritual Freedom Perspective" heard on selected stations and the internet. Listen 24/7 on-demand by going to www.BobLarson.org.
TELEVISION
Bob hosts a weekly television series, "Bob Larson Presents: Spiritual Freedom." This program is telecast world-wide on the Internet, on selected stations, the Sky Angel Network (DBS/Angel One, Channel
9701), and in Canada nationwide on The Miracle Channel. In addition, Bob hosts an exclusive 24 hour Internet channel called BobLarson.TV.
SPIRITUAL FREEDOM CONFERENCES
Bob draws upon his more than 20 years of experience investigating the occult to reveal how evil influences people's lives. Unlike the Hollywood version of the occult, Bob's conferences feature the supernatural center stage without smoke and mirrors! He teaches his audiences about the many ways that evil attacks human beings. "The devil traffics in human suffering," Bob explains, "and we take people to the 'point of the pain' to discover where their souls have been scarred, allowing Satan to torment them. Exorcism is often part of the healing process that follows."
"DO WHAT JESUS DID" TEAMS
God has given Bob Larson a vision to raise up Do What Jesus Did (DWJD) Spiritual Freedom Teams to fulfill the mission of Christ and "preach the Gospel, heal the broken hearted, and set the captives free"
(Luke 4:18). Teams have been established in more than 100 cities worldwide, and new teams are forming every week! These emotional healing and deliverance teams are comprised of lay people who volunteer their time to bring hope to the desperate victims of abuse and spiritual bondage. Teams are also being planted in many foreign countries, including Canada, the Caribbean, Australia, Africa, New Zealand, Europe and Eastern Europe.
PERSONAL COACHING
Bob has developed a one-on-one, 12-step program of spiritual discovery and development which he teaches on an individual basis. These sessions consist of a weekly, 30-minute personal phone call
from Bob. He also offers special full-day and half-day Intervention Intensive sessions for those needing urgent assistance. For the business community, he presents a specially adapted 7-step Take Your Life Back program of personal growth addressing health, habits, emotions, relationships, spirituality, vocation, and finances.
SPIRITUAL FREEDOM CHURCHES INTERNATIONAL (SFC)
Bob has founded an international fellowship of churches affiliated with the mission of Luke 4:18. These congregations consist of Associated Churches (those churches already in existence) and Affiliated Churches (new congregations which have grown out of DWJD teams). For information, go to www.spiritualfreedomchurch.org.
PASTORATE
Bob and his ministry have established the Spiritual Freedom Church of Phoenix, Arizona. This fellowship meets in their newly-built $1.2 million Church and Center for Freedom in Scottsdale, Arizona. The
ministry of inner healing and deliverance takes place on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Each Saturday night, Bob teaches the principles of spiritual freedom to this growing congregation.

Laura Larson
PASTOR
"I should have taken my first *bungee jump before I married Bob," Laura Larson shares with a smile. "It would have helped me prepare for such an exciting jump of faith."
Laura has a great appreciation for the ministry of healing and deliverance. Her area of greatest interest has been in inner healing. "It is miraculous to be a part of helping people to be set free and turn their lives around," she explains. "God can do amazing things in our hearts, souls and lives if we just invite Him in to do the work."
Laura has traveled with her husband, Bob Larson, in ministry to Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Canada, Africa, Italy, Antigua, and the Bahamas. She has also made more extensive trips throughout Europe and Asia.
... + More
Laura ministers at the Spiritual Freedom Church in Scottsdale, AZ. She enjoys teaching at Women's Conferences and speaking at the church.
Together, Pastors Bob and Laura produce as weekly Christian television show, "Bob Larson Presents Spiritual Freedom." "It was a great challenge in the beginning, but I have come to enjoy it and the power of the message," she said of the 30 minute program seen on the Miracle Channel and on BobLarson.org.
Life for Laura includes her daily home schooling duties with their three children, out riding horses, or rushing from one activity to the next. She believes home schooling is an essential part of her calling and commits a great quantity of time to its fulfillment.
Laura enjoys writing and received her BS in Journalism. She worked as a print reporter and for the Colorado governor's press office. She has edited a number of books. She previously had a Colorado real estate license and worked in that industry. In her leisure time, hiking, bike riding, skiing, swimming, tennis, reading and writing are some of her favorite activities.
About her appreciation for the work done in the Spiritual Freedom Churches and the Do What Jesus Did movement, she says: "I am amazed at what God is doing at such a deep level in people's lives. He longs to uncover the hurt and pain afflicting people, who convincingly mask their suffering with broad smiles and firm handshakes. Laura feels that words cannot express enough her admiration for what the ministry of Bob Larson (Do What Jesus Did) deliverance teams have accomplished in recent years. This mission is a complicated and challenging task of helping people out of their often festering mess of dysfunction, then confronting snarling demons as an encore, she says, rewards supersede the untidy job description.
*Laura's first bungee jump was taken in Queenstown, New Zealand, years after being married twelve years to her husband, Bob.

Colette Beaudoin
OUTREACH PASTOR
Colette was born in Quebec, Canada and was raised by her mother and her father.
However, she was abused repeatedly, starting at the age of four and continuing until she was a teenage, by a male relative. When she started school, the effects of this abuse created fear and anger towards authority figures. Her ongoing rebellion created difficult problems for her in school, and she was declared a troubled child. She spent most of her youth attending a mental institution as an out patient. Since she really was a normal child, most of her time was spent helping other sick and mentally challenged children.
... + More
Her first encounter with Jesus occurred at the age of six. Due to having Polio, she was unable to walk. While watching Oral Roberts on television one day, she crawled to the set and placed her hands on the screen and instantly knew she was healed. To the amazement of her family and doctors, she began to walk again within two weeks. This is when Jesus became Colette’’s friend. She grew up talking to Jesus and trusting him for guidance.
Because she spent her school age years in the mental institution as an outpatient, she was never taught to read or write. At the age of eighteen, she cried out to Jesus to once again help and within a year she was able to read and write in French, her primary language.
In 1988 she was born again and started in a deliverance and healing ministry. She listened to Bob Larson regularly on the radio and was able to attend one of his conferences in Montreal in the early 90’s.
After marring Jerry in 2000, she started to train with Bob and practice Inner Healing as taught by DWJD ministries. In March of 2005, Colette traveled with Bob Larson to Australia and was ordained by Bob later that same year. She has since traveled to New Zealand, South Africa and Germany three times.
Everywhere she has ministered, people have been saved, healed, delivered, and have been brought closer to our Savior Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost has used Colette in a powerful way to show that Jesus is alive today.
