Brief History
Jesus Revolution Now! started with a desperation for change that has been fueled by the continued disintegration of the foundations of our nation, The Philippines. The continued pain and cry Christians feel regarding our nation’s condition plus the sense of helplessness demanded that it is time for desperate measures.
Why NOW? Why is the word NOW included in the name? NOW serves as an emphasis on the urgency and the need to act today. It speaks of what can only be done today and not what anyone promises to do in the future. It shouts loudly at complacency and apathy. It screams at cynicism which many times had led to losing by default. It represents the cry of a generation always engaged in the NOW, which speaks of relevance and effectiveness. NOW confronts passivity and theoretical Christianity as opposed to Radical Obedience and Activism. A Revolution of real, effective, applied Christianity: Jesus Revolution NOW!
When Jesus Revolution Now! Sounded the call to the Body of Christ to gather for a solemn assembly in Luneta, on November 30,2001 to fast and pray for the nation, an estimated 150,000 people responded not just from Metro Manila and nearby provinces, but as far as the Visayas and Mindanao. And surprisingly, people from other nations, such as, Korea, Japan, Germany and the US joined to witness what God is doing to the Philippines.
Many thought that it was just for one whole day. But when the people went back to their cities and provinces the fire of the revolution continues to burn in their hearts. They started to organize their Solemn Assemblies. The favor of God is with them. The local government officials would join them and pray with them. After almost six years, Jesus Revolution Now! had established networks in all the cities and Municipalities in Metro Manila, in Luzon (Laguna, Batangas, Quezon, Cavite, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan, Benguet, Appari, Nueva Viscaya, Isabela, Cabanatuan, Zambales, Bataan, Olongapo, Palawan), Visayas (Leyte, Tacloban, Bacolod, Escalante, Cebu, Iloilo) and Mindanao (Davao, Surigao, Pagadian, Zamboanga, Sibugay, Ipil, Cagayan de Oro, Cotobato). To date, around 300,000 Filipinos have been reached by the message of the Jesus Revolution Now! The message of the revolution continues to reach even other nations. Now, Jesus Revolution has reached Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Norway, Germany, Israel, Europe, Canada and the US.
Many events and movements have come into the Body of Christ. And many of this ended as soon as the last light was turned off. Jesus Revolution Now keeps on growing, nationwide and internationally. It grows not because of the events but because of lives and because of the message!
