What really happened at Launchfest?



LAUNCHFEST @ USC

The first of many evangelistic gatherings to come to the fields of university campuses in all of AMERICA.

For multiple months, our team in Southern California put our best efforts into putting on an evangelistic gathering on the fields of university campuses. The Lord responded to the faithfulness of the team and poured out favor and our first field was underway.

LAUNCHFEST would be the name and September 25th to the 28th would be the dates. A four day music festival to gather the students of the University of Southern California (USC had just been voted the #2 party school in all of America by Playboy Magazine) to preach the gospel and see souls won for the Kingdom of God.

Through miracles upon miracles, the Lord took a hold of the event and endlessly, it felt like, poured out His favor. From the cost of the entire event to the landing of a space shuttle, our little pioneering minority plus God pulled off the event.

LAUNCHFEST EXPLODES

From DAY 1, students encountered the living God and began to weep and give their lives back to Jesus. By Friday, the night of the field, the soil had been tilled and the atmosphere was open.

Over a 2-3 hours period, well over a thousand students gathered as live music began to play and draw a crowd. The presence of God fell on the field and we felt it was time to share the Good News.

As the music died down, the presentation of the simple gospel began. As our friend spoke of the power of the cross, it seemed as if the entire university fell silent. He spoke of the Redeemer, the Father, the Friend, the Savior. Not a soul left as God's words pierced through the air. As he brought the gospel to a conclusion, he asked those who wanted to give their hearts back to the Father to raise their hands. Across the field, we saw over 150 hands go up and move to the front of the crowd. As they prayed the sinner's prayer with the sincerity of their hearts, they received Jesus Christ and began a relationship with the son of God.

This is the Good News. Those who were forever destined for an eternity in hell, will forever be with our Father in heaven. This IS the good news.



The Future

Since LAUNCHFEST, we have been planning similar evangelistic events on secular university campuses. Over 25 universities in Southern California, including many more elsewhere, have opened their doors to us to come and help them in setting up events like LAUNCHFEST.

As we line up a tour of Southern California, we are seeking the Lord on direction, prompting our hearts to constantly obey.
