Revolution launched last night

There is going to be a Revolution, yea we know, we don’t want to change the world, wait we do want to change the world! (Did you catch the Beatles reference?) The Revolution launched last night with 86 at the first preview gathering! I am so stoked. Kids came and engaged. Trey lead musically and opened with a Kelly Clarkson song. He sang like a girl. It was great. I saw very skeptical kids get connected. I saw college kids give their lives away ministering to the next generation. I heard Brian Brown speak with passion and clarity. It was amazing. God is moving.

During the run up to this I have had several of my fellow pastors say that this was a dumb idea. To quote one “you can start a church of kids, it will never fund itself.” I know that, and you can’t feed 5,000 with two fish and five loaves! God is in the faith stretching business and He wants us to take great risk for Him if that means starting a church for Kids then that Ok with me.

I am going to be bold and say that for far too long we have done ministry to students and never allow them to minister. I watched college students embrace this and lead out. Soon they will be running this and Brian and I will be coaching them. They will leave Florida State as church planting experts because they have planted a church.

Last night as I watched everything going on I felt the Spirit of God whisper to me, “I am going to launch a movement with this kids that will change the world.” There is going to be a revolution and it is launched in Tallahassee! Maybe FSU will be known as a church planting university. That would be so cool!

  • You rock! These students are this country's future. Everyone told us we were nuts to start a Wed night student ministry at our Kingsville Campus, a year later it's almost as big as the weekend church! Keep rocking bro!
