This Year, Crossroads Events See 3,000 Youth Accept Christ
Revival is sweeping through Generation Z, the age group born between 1999 and 2015, at Crossroads Summer Camp in South Carolina.
The camp, founded in 1996 by Clayton King, a traveling evangelist, is making a profound impact on young hearts by sharing the gospel and teaching truth, meaning and purpose.
According to King, a staggering 85% of Christian converts in America make the decision to accept Christ as their Savior before the age of 19. With Generation Z being digital natives, immersed in technology from a young age, some may have viewed them as losing their religious affiliation.
Christian Youth Arrested for Reading Scripture at Pride Event
Over the weekend, a young Christian man, Marcus Schroeder, found himself in police custody after peacefully reading Scripture verses on a loudspeaker outside a “Pride in the Park” event in Watertown, Wisconsin.
Organized as “family entertainment” by the city of Watertown, the event featured a drag queen show in front of children who were encouraged to give money to lingerie-clad male dancers. Troubled by the sexualization of minors, Schroeder and fellow members of Mercy Seat Christian Church took to the public sidewalk outside the event to preach the gospel.
As Schroeder quoted from Galatians, emphasizing the importance of loving one’s neighbor, police officers approached him, attempting to seize the microphone. The situation escalated, leading to his arrest on charges of unlawful use of sound amplification and resisting arrest. Other Christians were also arrested for praying and sharing the gospel inside the event but were later released with warnings.
