International Newsletter June 2017
I just returned from the crazy and dangerous city of Bogotá, Colombia, with Chad Johnson and my son Ben, where we had a Provoke & Inspire conference designed to challenge Christian artists to use their God-given creativity to proclaim the Gospel outside the church.
Eight hundred people attended from several hundred churches all over Colombia. Others traveled overland for more than nine days from Argentina to attend our meetings, while another couple walked through the border in nearby Venezuela to get there.
Venezuela is a country that is in complete economic and social collapse. It’s a lawless place controlled by criminal gangs, making it now one of the most dangerous countries in Latin America. It was no small risk for them to travel to Bogotá to attend our conference.
After every teaching session, we spent many hours crying out to God together. One meeting lasted for almost five hours! Sometimes, the front of the stage was wet with tears because God was moving so powerfully in the meetings.
Since then, Revolutionary Bible Studies based on my book Revolutionary! have been happening all over Colombia.
The Provoke & Inspire event was organized by Alejandro Reyes, a very dynamic young leader who started the ministry, Vertical Music, that reaches much of Latin America. He will be attending our mission school in Germany (SMS17) this summer, along with 11 others from his leadership team.
We have now begun planning a No Longer Music tour in Colombia and Cuba for the near future. Cuba is a country that has really been on my heart lately, so this is such an answer to prayer. I believe a window of opportunity is opening in Cuba, and we need to act now. A tour there during this critical time in history could have an impact on the whole country.
Thank you for your prayers and support that make it possible to bring the love of Jesus to thousands of desperate and hungry young people around the world!
