These last years, we have been working at making everything that Jesus Revolution contains available and conceptualized for the local church format. Starting from August 2010, any church will be able to start what is called a Jesus Revolution group. This enables a youth group, even of limited size, to get access to high-quality material that will train them for evangelism, and to be part of a dynamic vision.
What is a Jesus Revolution Group?
1. An evangelistic unit
2. A discipleship training ground
3. A tool to build the local church
4. Equipped with relevant resources for creative communication
5. Part of a network
6. A practical demonstration of God’s love
7. An expression of God’s heart for the poor
What do you get?
1. Manuals on :
A. Discipleship
B. Leadership
C. Evangelism
2. Instruction videos in dance, drama and creative evangelism
3. Music and sound tracks
4. Access to online resources
5. Connection with other groups
6. Training events
7. An evangelistic vision for your youth group
How do you start?
Every Jesus Revolution Group is run by the local church who has the total responsibility of the group and defines how it would like to minister (it is not meant to replace the youth group, but to be an evangelistic tool for the youth group). This is how you start:
- Ask your Pastor/Leader for the authorization to start a group.
- Download the Group Agreement Form here and send it in signed by your Pastor and you to:
Jesus Revolution, Box 1058 Sentrum
N-0104 Oslo
Norway - Receive access to the the community web and resources
- Pray
- Train
- Start with outreaches
Where and how can you use the Jesus Revolution group.
In order to start a Jesus Revolution group you need at least two young people. Ideally, a group of 8-15 people is a good size, although there can be many more. They can use the available resources or/and any creative means to do outreaches in public squares, streets, youth clubs, beaches or any public place.
Through the instruction videos and the music/sound tracks, the group can do mini-concerts and street events. The manuals also gives examples of creative evangelism and how the love of God can be demonstrated in a practical way, thus enabling the group to launch immediately into evangelism.
Web
Through the web, the Jesus Revolution groups will be connected, every group will have it’s profile, and will be able to share news, testimonies and ideas to the whole community.
