Ep 2035: Taking Church Outside the Walls

In this episode of the iWork4Him Podcast, hosts Jim and Martha Brangenberg are joined by John Wilson, a former country music promoter, who unveils his personal journey from wanting nothing to do with Christianity to becoming the visionary force behind Light the Way Ministry. This organization takes the Church to people who might never step foot into a sanctuary through music festivals and now their September tent revival in Springfield, Missouri.

As John recounts his experiences, he shares the unexpected encounter that led him to begrudgingly host a Christian concert in his small hometown, setting off a series of events that would ultimately transform his life. John's tale is one of resistance turning into surrender, pride giving way to humility, and a once-reluctant soul becoming a passionate instrument for spreading the message of Christ.

Amidst the storytelling, the episode extends a heartfelt invitation for 5,000 intercessors (https://www.lightthewayministry.com/prayerpledge) to join in daily prayers for the upcoming revival, emphasizing the belief in the power of prayer to bring about true revival. You’ll also get a sneak peek of the TED-style talk that John will give at the upcoming U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce Business Expo.
