“Jesus Revolution was started in 1997 by Stephan & Anne Christiansen with a vision to make the Gospel available to the youth of Europe – and the World! From then on, we have had evangelistic events and outreaches in over 900 cities in 35 nations. We have organized “Summer Teams,” every summer in Europe since 1998 with a total participation of over 7000 young people from over 30 nations. Through the years, the Gospel has been preached to hundreds of thousands of European youth, and many have been reached through media and TV-programs. We have seen tens of thousands of young people have received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.”
