What a time our youth ministry had in Rochester for Joshua Revolution 2004! We joined several thousand teens for anointed worship and powerful teaching. There is so much to be thankful for as God was faithful to touch the lives of our youth in a powerful way once again. But rather than relay this to you secondhand, let’s hear from some of the youth themselves…

Bobby – college sophomore
“…God showed me just how much I’ve been living for my own will, and how I just need to abandon it and let Him take control of every part of my life. I want to live only for the will of my Heavenly Father, and seek after Him with everything I have…. God totally walloped me with the fact that I am a child of God, and I am made in His image, and I don’t need to care what other people think of me or strive to make other people like me, because He said that He loves me just the way I am, as that is the way He created me, and He loves me with an unconditional and everlasting love.”

Amanda – 9th grade
“This year at Joshua Revolution was an awesome experience for me. Over the five days, I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and have a personal prayer language… this year at Joshua Revolution has changed my life forever.”

Cierra – 8th grade
“…I got baptized in the Holy Spirit and now I can speak in tongues…. At one of the services, I was on my knees and I thought of all the bad things from this last year…. I started to pray and got rid of everything and gave it to the Lord. I now want to tell my friends about Jesus and I truly don’t care if I get rejected. One night I went down front and the joy of the Lord came over me and I started to cry and I started to jump up and down and praise God and then I laid on the ground and I started praising God and screaming out “Jesus.” And I felt Jesus in me and it feels so incredible.”

Gabrielle – 9th grade
“Out of all the times I have experienced God’s presence, I have never felt His Holy Spirit like I did at Joshua Revolution 2004. It was so amazing. God did something different with me every day…. I am on fire for Jesus!”

Marcus – 10th grade
“I recommitted my life to Christ and adopted a child from Gospel for Asia.”

Josh – 10th grade
“I had an amazing weekend with God over the past few days. God has completely filled me up with His Spirit and dude, it’s sweet! God is good all the time and I love Him dearly.”

These are just SOME of the marvelous testimonies we received from our students who attended Joshua Revolution. Thank You, Lord, for the wonderful revelation, vision and encounters that were experienced in Rochester. May the fruit be lasting!
