Southern Idaho the September Focus of Jesus 4 King Project
TWIN FALLS – Chris Stevens and his family are traveling coast to coast calling the country to repentance and obedience to God. They are contacting community leaders and will be in front of the Twin Falls County Courthouse at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, September 11th, enlisting volunteers in the battle against Biblical illiteracy and anti-Christian influences.
Chris is the founder of JesusForKing.com, which serves as the training and communications hub of the Jesus 4 King project. He is available for personal consultations, public speaking engagements, and media interviews for the Magic Valley in September. The next stop is Boise in October, and then on to Utah, Nevada, and California.
“According to the Bible,” Chris says, “God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.”
Not the typical approach to Christianity, they are calling community leaders to account and they are out in people’s homes telling Bible stories and discussing righteousness, self-control, and judgment to come. They are planting reproducible Jesus 4 King small groups around southern Idaho that teach a firmly grounded faith, transformation of character, training in spiritual warfare, and successful stewardship.
Chris says, “We’re not out to reform the government or other institutions; we’re out to restore people to God.” This idea of restoration became a movement in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries after freedom was won in America. A wide cross-section of people from different denominations and countries, many unknown to each other, quit trying to reform the traditions and creeds of men and attempted a simple and genuine obedience to the Bible.
Similar to what happened two hundred years ago, there is an emerging movement of people around the world today who are rejecting manmade decrees in favor of simple, New Testament Christianity. The main thrust of the restoration movement continues to be a plea to return to the word of God as the basis for unity among believers and as the sole authority in everything pertaining to life and godliness.
Reproducible Jesus 4 King small groups are designed to spread to every neighborhood in the region, and may be held at any time of day. Anyone who’s looking for simple spirituality and meaningful growth can visit JesusForKing.com and volunteer to host a Jesus 4 King small group in their neighborhood.
