The Shaking of Nations - A Harvest Tsunami Is On Its Way....

Chapter One

The Building of the Second Ark

The Promise

The year was 1971. I had been married less than two years and

was pastoring my first church when God used two converted

hippies to draw me into the now- famous “Jesus Movement.”

That movement was a divine magnet for young, disillusioned

dropouts from American culture in the ’ 60s and ’ 70s.

At first I had no idea what I had stepped into -- but I began to

see growing numbers of young people saved and brought into

the Kingdom of God through this movement.

It was exhilarating to see poorly dressed, free-spirited youth

believing God’s word and living it out on the streets of the San

Francisco Bay Area. As for me, I saw the Bible come alive

through a youth movement that many churches rejected.

As the Jesus Movement was drawing to an end, I sat in my

church office wondering if I would ever experience anything like

it again in my ministry.
