Evangelism
The Gen Z Revival
Summer time for the Church (Northern Hemisphere) highlights camps & Vacation Bible Schools where millions of young people come to faith and missions teams go forth to share the Good News.
Our church commissioned an outreach team yesterday of excited Gen Zers (those born 1997 to 2012). I was privileged to participate in summer missions in 40 out of 46 years between 1970 and 2016. In 2025, maybe two million are sharing their faith globally this summer.
In the past three weeks, major outreaches by two U.S. evangelists brought thousands of youth to Christ.
The Gen Z Revival is underway.
A Turning Tide and the National Day of Prayer
The “tide is turning” in America.
Helping to propel it forward will be the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 1.
The past Easter saw a near revival-like explosion of salvations, baptisms, and heightened spiritual awareness through the United States and other nations. Thursday’s National Day of Prayer (in which I had the privilege of participating in Washington, D.C. for forty years) may be used by God to swell the rising waves of renewal.
Sadly, many of the cultural waves of the 21st century, especially in the West, have been secular/atheistic in nature including globalism. But not in 2025.
Be encouraged. The tide is turning.
You can join in by participating in the National Day of Prayer this Thursday.
Football Faith
As we begin a New Year, it’s tempting to zero in on the immense geo-political movements in our world like the coming inauguration of President Trump (for the second time), the recent resignation of Canadian president Justin Trudeau (and Canada jokingly becoming our 51st state), the fall of Syria, or the quagmire and suffering in Ukraine.
We shall prayerfully analyze all these in 2025 for prayer and action.
But–this first week in January–how about–FOOTBALL.
As one writer puts it, something incredible is happening.
