Just a few days ago, we saw the gospel preached to the largest audience in human history:
And videos like this were all over the internet as well:
And this is what Pastors all over America are reporting:
In addition, Charlie Kirk is more popular than ever on social media, with millions more people listening to his messages and following his pages. This graph shows the jump in his social media followers in just the first 5 days after his death:
His organization has also received an explosion of inquiries for new chapters to start on high school or college campuses. Charlie was able to get the number of campuses that had a chapter to 3500 at the time of his death, yet only 6 days after his death, there were 54,000 inquiries.
At last count there were close to 120,000.
Some of those inquires even came from our local schools, and now nearly every High School in Sarasota County will have a TPUSA chapter. Prior to Charlies death there were NONE.
Even many media outlets have been covering him very favorably since his death. For instance, here are two articles published by our local news.
Media has also been reporting on the incredible amount of unity that his death has brought:
I got to see this firsthand when I went to the vigil in Bradenton, and joined thousands of patriots in worship, prayer and commemoration. Here are some clips:
And speaking of unity, Charlie’s death interestingly came just three days after we traveled to St. Augustine on mission to combat principalities of disunity and to pray for a unification to the church. During the trip, we also went to the beach where America’s first worship service was held by the Huguenots, who ended up being America’s first Christian martyrs. On the beach we prayed for a grace to come upon the American church to allow us to live sold out to Jesus, even unto death. It truly is shocking how much of what we were contending for is happening already.
Here is a link to a recap of our St. Austine trip- St. Augustine Mission Trip Recap – Awaken Florida
Something else that was quite interesting about all this, is that much of it is a fulfillment of what God spoke to me months ago about the year of jubilee, which America is in until July 4th, 2026. Here is a brief clip of some of what I shared about it on August 24th at Hope International:
I expanded on this Word on Sunday when I was asked to preach during the main service. I also shared lots of other God reports that show we are in revival, and I gave a teaching on the importance of being a worker for the Lord. Although it was a challenging and convicting Word, many people told me they were very blessed by it. Pastor Ron even sent me this text after:
You can view it here:
It’s been interesting to see the timing of when God has had me share messages lately. Back in August, Michelle and John Skorski scheduled me preach at The Front 2.0 on September 11th, which ended up being the day after Charlie was shot and killed. I felt humbled by the fact that He had orchestrated it so that I would be one of the first ones to prophetically speak into the situation, even before most Pastors got to do it that weekend.
He gave me a strong and convicting Word about martyrdom that night, which you can see here:
Then, on Friday, I got the text from Pastor Ron asking if I could fill in for him on the same day as the memorial. Crazy how it worked out.
I definitely see it as an encouragement from the Lord that what we are doing is so important in times like these. Of course, it is ALWAYS important to be sharing the gospel with people and helping them grow in their relationship with God, but it is ESPECIALLY important in times like this when God is drawing SO many people to Himself. We MUST step up and play our part to bring in the harvest, otherwise Jesus will not get the fullness of the harvest that He is trying to bring in right now.
On that note, if you haven’t been out with us in a while, or you’ve been a little sporadic- PLEASE commit yourself to showing up on the mission field consistently from now on. The harvest truly is plentiful, but the workers are sadly still few.
On that note, here are a few highlights from the past few weeks. I’m lumping several weeks together because I’ve been a little backlogged.
Bayfront Park has been fruitful lately, and we’ve had pretty good traffic and some good conversations. The lights are back on too, which is such a blessing!
This past week, a woman came by whom we met about a year ago and told us that after she spoke to us, she gave her life to Jesus and has been seeking Him ever since. She came back to get some prayer for herself and for a friend who was going through a hard time.
It was so cool to hear her testimony of how God took the seed we planted and brought a harvest from it.
At another point a man who was a professing atheist came up and gave me $20. He said that although he didn’t really understand what we were doing, he liked it and wanted to support it. I was stunned. He also let me pray for him to receive revelation of Jesus, which was awesome.
A little later on we met a man who is running for US Congress in Fort Myers. We got to encourage him in the Word and pray over him. His name is Dylan Modarelli- www.modarelli4congress.com
At Riverwalk, we’ve had several weeks where many children and adults have been ministered to and have prayed to receive Jesus. One really cool example is with this family that we met on August 30th. There are 6 kids in the family, and their parents don’t really follow God or take them to church. They came up to us asking questions and Holy Spirit really drew them. They all received Jesus that night.
Then they came back on Saturday and told us they have been following Jesus ever since and even trying to expose their parents to Him. We prayed with them and counseled them for over an hour. You could tell they were hungry.
Here’s a video where you can even see how the Holy Spirit even touched the younger kids to the point of tears:
At Siesta, we’ve been seeing a lot of fruit too. People have been getting ministered to and praying to receive Jesus pretty much every week. One night was extra exciting though. That night, several people that came for the drum circle fell out under the power of the Holy Spirit and received deliverance. Many were also drawn to the worship and the preaching that night, and one little girl even had a Holy Spirit encounter that was caught on video. Here are some clips:
Hope all this encourages you! Again, PLEASE don’t miss the moment that we are in. Share the gospel with as many people as possible and know that God is doing the heavy lifting by drawing many hearts to Himself.
Love you so much and we look forward to seeing you on the mission field!
Chris
P.S. Let me leave you with this. The moment during Charlie Kirk’s memorial where the crowd was singing gratitude. Such a powerful moment!
