Dr. LaSalle Vaughn
Deep River Author Dr. LaSalle Vaughn will be featured in the next month on Jewish Voice Minstries with Jonathan Bernis as he takes the world by storm with his new release The Next Great Move Of God. From Jerusalem to the United States, Vaughn is helping believers to find the key to godly success in faith, family, finances, and fellowship with the Lord. Dr. Vaughn opens our eyes to the Jewish world of Jesus as most Christians have understood the topic of salvation, but have never contemplated the Jewishness of Jesus. By following a newfound obedience to previously hidden meanings in the Scriptures, Dr. Vaughn believes your life will be transformed. He says, "Life is much more than salvation; it's a lifestyle of obedience to the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation."
Dr. LaSalle R. Vaughn, a retired USAF officer, author, international speaker and pastor of New Life Christian Center is a well-respected lecturer and Bible scholar who believes in empowering people through education, and community revitalization.

He is the chairman and CEO of the International Community Development Corporation (ICDC), an organization that has played a fundamental role in developing city plans to invigorate sectors of San Antonio since 2002.

As a retired Career Air Force Officer who trained officers and conducted top-secret missions in the Middle East, Dr. Vaughn received his call to pastor while in Egypt. Under the direction of Dr. Vaughn, New Life is a unique blend of cultures with Davidic worship, Torah studies and the celebration of Jewish Feasts. Dr. Vaughn and New Life’s love for Israel is unmistakable by its many pilgrimages to this Holy Land, and the Jewish influences concerning the New Life campus layout.
God commissioned Dr. Vaughn to create a little piece of Israel in San Antonio. The result is the Galilee Prayer Garden. The garden is a beautiful reminder of our beloved Israel with an outdoor sanctuary with seating in the form of a menorah, a lake in the shape of the Galilee, stone tablets of the Ten Commandments, a 6 foot menorah, and a replica of the Western Wall. The stones used to build the wall were taken from the same quarry in Israel where the stones were taken to build Solomon’s temple.
As a strong catalyst for Christians returning to their Hebraic roots of their faith, Dr. Vaughn has produced of two major conferences – Celebrate Israel and Days of Elijah Conference. These powerful conferences have been built to encourage both church leadership and individuals to return, embrace and celebrate the Hebraic Heritage of the Christian Faith. Dr. Vaughn, not ashamed of his commission from GOD concerning Israel, has been quoted that “The next great move of GOD will be to have Christians returning to their Hebraic roots.”
