Matt was born into a family of a gang leader and drug dealer. As Matt began to grow up he so desired to have a father figure that he began to emulate his dad. That life led him into 14 stab wounds, two gunshot wounds, two explosions and a world of addiction. But a pastor who he had befriended never gave up on him and eventually Matt gave his life to Christ. Matt is an entirely new person now and has impacted a multitude of lives around the world for the cause of Christ. You don’t want to miss this incredible story of God’s unrelenting love.

Josh Lair shares his amazing story of God literally rescuing his life from serious addictions and time spent in prison. Josh’s open and honest account of how God used his past struggles to become his greatest area of strength in his ministry today and bring restoration to his life is compelling and insightful. You won’t want to miss this testimony of how the power of the gospel is still alive and moving today.

An incredible prayer movement that is taking  place in Ethiopia. You'll hear how 22 generations of a witch doctor ceased with the gospel and how the place of worshiping the spirits has become a place where up to 100,000 Christians gather to seek God. This is a great modern day story that will encourage your faith.

Dr. Frank Harbor is an apologist, an evangelist and an attorney. As a 21 year old atheist, Frank set out to disapprove Christianity but became a Christian as a result. With every generation the gospel message doesn’t change but the method of evangelism changes. God has always been the great innovator and has given us tools to reach the world for Christ. We as Christians must change not the message but how we approach trying to reach people according to the times we live in as had been done throughout Christian history.

Royce Williams is President of Missions Evangelism Ministries. Sammy and Royce discuss the difference between revival and evangelism but how they are also interconnected. When the church has a deep work of God, then evangelism is a fruit of revival.  When the church has a revived heart then evangelism begins to explode. They also explore various dynamics on how the gospel is to be brought to the whole world. They discuss this exciting evangelistic movement entitled “Who’s Your One?”.  This seems to be the way of the Spirit, beginning on the individual level and then seeing God work on the corporate level.

Sammy and Chad discuss what the essence of the gospel is and what the One Hope Movement entails. The answer for a divided world is a united church. We live in a world that is looking for hope and our only hope is in Jesus Christ. The One Hope movement involves extraordinary prayer for the lost and the equipping of the church for personal evangelism.    The One Hope Movement will host a catalytic event that will happen at Kyle Field on April 25th, 2020. We are praying for a Jesus Movement 2.0 - the same Jesus but a movement for today that involves intense and serious praying for the lost.

God is sending a revival to many churches in Brazil. It has been realized as a result of the multiplying church movement that Fabrico Freitas heads up. Coordinated, consistent & persistent prayer have been a hallmark of God’s movement in this Brazilian movement. The heart of this movement is to go back to the principles of the New Testament church. These principles include a strong commitment to prayer, evangelism and discipleship in unison, the planting of churches, and participating in acts of compassion.

Dr. Brent Saathoff is Lead Pastor at City Church in San Antonio, Texas - a church which annually baptizes hundreds of newly converted adults. City Church uses its weekend services, its recovery programs and all other kinds of church programs to love people wherever they are at in life with the ultimate goal to bring them to freedom in Jesus Christ. City Church also incorporates a strong discipleship program with its members and feels both evangelism and discipleship go hand in hand.
