Jesus Revolution started in 1997 with a campaign in Kristiansand, Norway. So many young people came that the building ran out of space, and Christians were asked to give up their seats for someone who didn’t know Jesus yet.
This February, 25 years later, we celebrated.
A night of thanks
Former and current Jesus Revolution missionaries, friends and partners gathered at Markus Church in Oslo for an evening of looking back and looking ahead. Pastors and leaders from all over the world brought greetings, and we heard songs from 25 years of Jesus Revolution music. Many of the speakers thanked our founders, Stephan and Anne Christiansen, for everything they have poured into the lives of hundreds of young people. We left deeply encouraged for the race ahead.
Kingdom Come
The year started well too. For the first time since the pandemic we could hold our New Year festival, Kingdom Come, in person again: nights of praise and worship, games and fun, ending with fireworks at the top of St. Hanshaugen.
The biggest tour in our history
The anniversary also launched the Every Nation Tour. The plan: a team of more than 60 musicians, singers, technicians, missionaries and preachers, a full concert and live band, about 50 nations in four months, and a Youth Revival event in every place, together with our Italian and Bulgarian bases.
We sent the team out at a Sending Sunday in Jesus Church, and the tour opened on 15 February at Q42 in Kristiansand, the city where it all began.
