My boyfriend and two others guys are beginning this project in Antrim... It's called RISE, and it wants to bring young people together from all churches and denominations to change the town we live in! Below's is THE VISION and the Promo video of their very first act as a project... Youth Event at Antrim Baptist on 28th Nov!!
RISE - THE VISION
The vision is a radical and irresistible revolution in Antrim
It is contagious and catches like a fire.
Young people have experienced the division between denominations and different churches. Clashing theologies and styles of worship.
We want to unite.
The church is a body not a building. It’s the people not the organisations. Sons and daughters brought together through him.
You see bones. I see an army.
The name of ‘Jesus’ will be a whisper which sounds through every estate, street and home in Antrim.
The very name will send shivers down the spine of those who hear it, and their very being will yearn to know Him.
The people of Antrim won’t see the buildings. They see Jesus.
Passion. Enthusiasm. Energy. This is the fuel generated by young people which powers this movement.
They are as radical on Monday morning as on Sunday night.
Righteousness is sought out in every move they make.
Every turn prompted by their clear conscience.
Darkness hides from the light they shine.
And this light does not burn out.
They don’t live within the sound of church bells. They run a rescue shop within a yard of Hell.
They move with the tide of the world but don’t get swept up in it.
When mothers weep. They wipe tears.
When walls divide. They build gates.
When sadness pulls them down. They laugh it off.
When they fall for the eighth time. They pick themselves a ninth.
When there is still one drunk left, when there is one still lost soul in Antrim they will fight to the very end.
But this is just a mere vision. It is far away from what is here now. But it is still a hope. And Jesus can make it happen. The vision is simple. Antrim will rise
