On April 10, 2015, my grandfather granted my request to come and preach to a mixed audience. The seats were mostly filled with young adults, and the setting was also heavily tailored towards young adults. Preaching to an audience like this was something I had not ever seen him do before—but was a night for the books.
The Lord’s presence was so tangible. Everything felt new, presented in a way that I had not experienced. One thing became very clear to me in that moment: There is something amazing that happens when the walls are brought down between the generations. THE BODY of Christ is not about a chosen generation stepping up. It is about the MERGING of generations. And on April 10, a seed was sown into The Kingdom toward this movement.
The Lord continued to reveal insights to me about this new vision for KCM.
A vision to be united…
A vision for a community of young believers who reject the negative labels branded on them by today’s society…
A vision to come along with the wise ones that have been steadfast in their faith before our time. The people of my grandfather’s time, speaking wisdom into our future—I’ve seen it. The Lord has shown me: It looks like Glory. It looks like the face of Love Himself—The Gospel fulfiled.
Then on June 30, 2015, at the Southwest Believers’ Convention, a Glory Storm took place. It started with worship, presented by ONE. Then, through words from my grandfather and a teaching by Brother Creflo Dollar, we saw a glimpse of the harvest from the seed that was sown back in April.
ONE was officially born—a movement to bring together a community comprised of all ages, denominations, and Christian doctrines, before The Throne of Jesus…standing in Unity.
In the months to come our team will be at work planning and developing initiatives that I believe will be the beginning of a movement that will sweep the nations and redefine a generation.
Will you stand with us?
We’re believing we’ll see an outpouring of God’s Spirit on people young and mature, all over the earth…people who have yet to hear the good news of the gospel and experience the love of God.
TOGETHER we WILL reach every generation. Because we are ONE PEOPLE with ONE PURPOSE.
