The Jesus Movement

Every Born Again believer started their Christian walk by someone planting the hope of Christ in their heart. There was a revival during the late 1960's and early 1970's that impacted thousands of lives. The simple truth of God's plan for Salvation through the sacrifice of His Only Begotten Son, became of major importance as the draft took our soldiers to war caused fear and unrest. The teaching of the Bible waters, cleanses from sin, and reveals God's eternal plan. Many entered a personal relationship with the God of the universe by the power of His Holy Spirit during that time. Joan and Merle Rothwell, raised their four children then left for Bible college. While there, they recall the early years of becoming Christians during the Jesus Movement and the various persons that influenced their lives. Learning the Bible, opening their home for others was truly eventful. Bible learning and a relationship with Jesus was a primary emphases in those days.
