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.
