What a night at the Hope for the Mountains Youth Revival Night! We lifted up the name of Jesus, students were challenged, revived and praise God, students called upon the name of Jesus to save them!
The Hope for the Mountains Team wants to thank all the churches that worked together, it is truly beautiful seeing the body of Christ doing Kingdom work in unity.
Now after a weeklong of revival nights across Ashe County and the region, let's go and burn bright for Jesus until the whole world hears!

This is a picture of a baptism at Tuckerdale Church in the 1940’s where my grandma Pearl and my great aunt Ruth were baptized. I remember the stories my granny told me about walking thru the hollers and mountains to church gatherings and about this day she was baptized.
The waters are stirring and rising here in Ashe County, NC and all across Appalachia. I truly believe we are experiencing a spiritual awakening and revival in our region! Will you join me in praying for the Holy Spirit to pour Himself out upon us all and to draw those that are lost or far from God to ABBA Father?

JESUS! 🔥🔥 Do you believe!? Do it again Lord!
