The dust has hardly settled after the Every Nation Tour. The Lord spoke to us about youth revival all over Europe, and from February to June 2023 we set out to see it.
The numbers
- 48 nations and 64 cities
- About 35,000 km on the road
- 67 outreaches and 55 Youth Revival evenings
- 14,520 people heard the gospel face to face
- 1,914 sought salvation
- Around 1,700 were baptised in the Holy Spirit
- Over 200 experienced immediate healing
That doesn’t count Impact Benelux or our summer youth camp. Just as valuable are the friendships we built with pastors and leaders across the continent who share the vision of reaching this generation for Jesus.
Stories from the road
In Zagreb, Croatia, a church stepped out in faith and rented a cinema auditorium. People came straight in from the street, several were saved, and we saw many healings.
In Maribor, Slovenia, we worked with the “Jesus is Lord” church, led by a Brazilian pastor who once played professional football for the city’s team. His son had broken his foot and had been struggling for a while. After prayer he walked on it without pain.
In Liechtenstein we helped a brand-new church plant preach in the country’s main square, and several people received Jesus in an hour and a half of outreach. In Switzerland, our Youth Revival was held in a former nightclub in the red-light district. Gang members and new agers came, and one of the five who received Jesus that night was a Hindu monk searching for the meaning of life.
In Ercolano, near Naples, our Italian base hosted an open-air event with 596 people, and the tour went on through Rome, Milan, Spain, Portugal, France, Gibraltar and the British Isles.
“At a school visit in Northern Ireland I invited everyone who wanted to receive Jesus to come forward. At first nobody moved. Then I encouraged an 11-year-old girl I had talked with earlier to be bold, and she came to the front. After that, students started running forward. Fifty young people prayed to receive Jesus.”
— Debora, Norway, 19
“I was on the welcome team outside our Youth Revival in Madrid when a girl with headphones walked past. I shared my testimony and the gospel with her, and she started crying. Standing together on the street, she prayed to receive Jesus.”
— Anna, Bulgaria, 24
Harvest in hard places
In Ukraine, around 80 people sought salvation through simple street meetings and one-to-one conversations. The response was so strong that we decided to return as soon as possible and start a missions base in Kyiv.
In Shkodër, Albania, local churches rented a cinema in a largely Muslim city. It was full to capacity, and 96 people responded to the invitation to salvation, many of them Muslims.
In Romania, a young man who had been involved in satanism walked past our street meeting at the lowest point of his life. He was so drawn to Jesus that he came to the Youth Revival, heard the full gospel for the first time and surrendered his life to the Lord. He threw away his occult rings and amulets, has since been baptised, and now serves in his local church’s evangelism team.
And in North Macedonia, a pastor told us his whole youth group spoke in tongues for the first time at the Youth Revival, and kept singing and praying in tongues all the way home.
Thank you for sending us out.
