At some point during the recording, [[Michael Knott|Knott]] says that John Wimber told them that he wanted the band to travel around the United States planting churches. [[Michael Knott|Knott]] didn't feel led to do that, so he left the band and formed [[Idle Lovell]]. Kirk Heiner joined the band after [[Michael Knott|Knott]] left.

At some point between 1984 and 1986, several changes occurred: [[Mark Krishchak|Krishchak]] left the band (with [[Michael Knott|Knott]] taking over as leader), Wimber also left (to be replaced by Brian Doidge - formerly of [[The Chosen Ones]] - on bass), and the name of the band was changed slightly. In 1986, Lifesavers signed to [[Frontline Records]] and released //Kiss of Life//. The name was not the only thing to change - [[Michael Knott|Knott]] also steered the band in a more alternative direction, drawing comparisons to The Psychedelic Furs. Some sources also claim that [[Michael Knott|Knott]] no longer likes this album, even though some songs do occasionally make it in to his solo live shows from time to time. | At some point between 1984 and 1986, several changes occurred: [[Mark Krishchak|Krishchak]] left the band (with [[Michael Knott|Knott]] taking over as leader), Wimber also left (to be replaced by Brian Doidge - formerly of [[The Chosen Ones]] - on bass), and the name of the band was changed slightly.
