Why I still give altar calls or invitations to be born again.

Why I still give altar calls or invitations to be born again.

Altar Call in Urbandale, IA where a whole family (Mom, Dad, son & 2 niece's ) came forward together to be born again! God is so awesome!!!


I realize that a lot of the church world has moved away from doing altarcalls during their services. Many people have questioned why I continue touse this method of evangelism. Let me start off by stating a few things thatI see that would cause leaders to shy away from this method.

1. I understand that just because someone comes forward during aservice does not mean that a change has taken place in their livesand many people have walked away confused.

2. Another reason would be because of abuse in the past with highpressure and preaching of hell fire and brimstone that would scarepeople into coming to the front to receive Christ into their lives sothat they would miss hell. When people are scared into comingforward it sometimes causes more harm than good.

3. I also realize that there is no biblical example of altar calls in thebible and that it is a method that the modern church world hasadapted for evangelism.

Saying all this, I still like to invite people forward to receive Christ duringmy services. I am always sensitive to the churches that I am ministering inand the fear factor of the people in the audience to come forward. In somechurches people are more reluctant to come forward to receive Christ. Andwhen I sense they are, I usually just pray with people where they are intheir seats.

When I do give an invitation to come forward to be born again, I almostdiscourage people from coming forward. Yet the front is always lined withpeople receiving Christ. I have been in many services in the past whereyoung people went forward just to get close to the person on stage orhoping to get a special gift or something for coming forward. I have hadchildren in the past come forward expecting to get candy or to play a game.When I invite people to come to the front to receive Jesus and to be bornagain, I am very specific about who I want to come forward. I always tell theaudience not to come forward to get close to me, see the lights, play agame, or get a prize. I tell them not to come forward because their neighbordoes or they think it’s cool. The only people that I want to come forward arethe ones that are serious and understand what I am talking about. I tellthem that if they do not understand or are confused not to come forward.I am also very specific about what being born again is during my service. I do not just tag an invitation on the end of each service as an afterthought.If I give an invitation to be born again, I spend a little time teaching on thesubject.

I believe that faith comes by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). Ifthe word is not taught on the subject, how can a person have faith toreceive salvation? When an invitation is tagged on the end of each servicewithout any explanation of what we are asking people to respond to, it hascaused a lot of confusion in the past.

I am not saying that everyone that has been born again truly understoodeverything about salvation. God is much bigger than that. I was 6 years oldwhen I was born again. I went forward on New Years Eve in my father’schurch. No one even prayed with me but, I knew that I was changed thatday. I went home and told my mother that I had become a Christian that night.

A lot of people in the world today have many misconceptions about being aChristian. Many believe that it is anything from being a good person tobelonging to a church makes one a Christian.

In the past I have been accused of herding people to the front duringinvitations. This is why I have become so specific in whom I want to comeforward. I also qualify people before I ask them to come forward. I first askhow many know for sure that they have been born again. With all eyesclosed and heads bowed, I ask them to raise their hands. Then I tell themthat if they have been born again that they do not have to keep being bornagain over and over. If they mess up and sin that the bible says in 1 John1:9 that if we confess our sin that he is faithful and just to forgive us. Thisdoes not mean that we have to keep getting born again and again.Next, I ask how many have never been born again or are not sure that theyhave been. With all eyes closed and heads bowed, I ask them to raise theirhands. Then I ask for the people that have never been born again andwould like to receive this gift to stand up, but only if they are serious andunderstand what I am talking about. Don’t stand up because you wantexercise, because your neighbor does it, or you think it is cool, butbecause you truly want to become born again.

After waiting a little while to give people a chance to stand up if they wantto receive Christ, I then tell them that I want them to do one more thing.But before I do I tell them, I do not want them to come forward to get closeto me, play a game, see the lights, or receive a prize. I ask them that if theyare serious and understand what I am talking about to come forward. Nopressure, no fear, no manipulation, only if this is what they truly want fortheir lives. 9 out of 10 times the front is lined with people receiving Christ.After I get them to the front, I sit them down on the floor around me and askthem what they came down here for. Usually a few children raise theirhands and answer to be born again or to ask Jesus into my life. I then askthe group if this is why everyone came down front. I proceed to tell themthat this is the only reason I want them down here right now. Then I tellthem that I am going to say a prayer, and I want them to repeat it after me. Ialways ask them if they know that just because they repeat a prayer doesnot do anything for them. When we pray we are talking to God, so I wantyou to mean this from your heart. If you pray this to God, and you believe itin your heart, and are serious, he will come in and change you on theinside. I always include the whole audience in the prayer. And I tell all inattendance that even if they did not come forward and have not askedJesus in their life, that they can be born again right where they are.I never threaten with hell or in any way scare people into coming forward. Ibelieve that it is the goodness of God that brings man to repentance. Whenpeople understand the good news of the gospel and that the price hasalready been paid for them, they will want to receive this gift that has been offered to them.

By coming forward it is making a public profession of their faith. It letseveryone there know what they did. People have more of a grip on it whenthey come forward than just repeating a prayer in their seats. It is a morepersonal environment where I can get close to them and lead them intosalvation.

There is a new trend that teaches that it is the parent’s job to lead thechildren into the new birth. I do not disagree with this. Ultimately it shouldbe the parent that prays with their children to be born again. I prayed withmy son to be born again while driving in a car when he was just a child. Butto be honest about this, a lot of parents do not have a firm grip on whatbeing born again is themselves, or are not comfortable discussing it withtheir children. I pray that this changes.

If we always put it in the parents ball park and they drop the ball, or maybethey are not even born again themselves, or they do not go to churchthemselves, do we let these children creep through the cracks of oursystem? There must be a time where children have a chance to be bornagain while they are attending our services. It must be high on our prioritylist for children coming up through our churches.

I am in no means saying that this is the only way or even the best way tolead people to the Lord, but it is what works for me. The best way would befor churches to go into their communities and personally lead people to thelord individually. If every person in every church would lead at least one ortwo people to the lord each year our churches would double or triple eachyear. Unfortunately, this is not happening. Even in churches that teach thismethod of evangelism or was founded on the premise of personalevangelism. Somewhere it always seems we loose our site of the missionin front of us and leave it up to evangelist like myself, to come into thechurch and evangelize the small group of the community that will come outto the event that the church is offering.

I pray we as the body of Christ will rise up and take back this generation.

below is a link to a video of one of our Altar calls in Sayreville, NJ where around 300 people came forward to be born again....

You know you have experienced revival when…

In Jan. 2011 Our local church concluded a 28 week revival. One night during worship toward the end of the revival the following list came to me and I wrote it down in my notes on my phone.

You know you have experienced revival when…

1. When you start laying aside all weights & sin that gets in between you and God.

2. When you have a renewed love & passion for the things if God.

3. When you begin to serve God with not just your mouth but our actions.

4. When you fervently serve God not just at church but every day of the week everywhere you go.

5. When you get so full of God that his presence begins to overflow in your life and begins to touch those around you.

6. When nothing else satisfies you, but more of God.

7. When you become so desperate for God that you do whatever it takes to get Him.

8. When your desires become God’s desires.

9. When your love for God becomes so strong that you just can't help but tell others.

10. When the fire of God in your life becomes so big that people start to come from all around to watch you burn.

11. When you submit yourself to God so much, that the change in your life becomes so evident that people can't help but notice and start to ask you what is different.

12. When the desire to be in God’s presence is so strong that you don't ask if you should go to church, but nothing can keep you from going to church.

13. When your love for God is so strong that you would never dishonor him by allowing sin in your life

14. When you love God so much you can't help but worship him not just at church but every day through your lifestyle.

16. When you love God so much that you don't have to be manipulated to give. You can’t help but to give because you love Him and his works so much.

17. When you rediscover your first love. The feeling & passion you had when you were first born again.

18. When you don't need to be led into worship, you just enter in.

19. When it ceases to be about us and it becomes about him.

20. Instead of constantly seeking a blessing from God you become a blessing from God.

Revival is a lifestyle.

Someone once said " I would rather live a fasted lifestyle than go on and off of periods of fasting."

I personally would rather live a revival lifestyle than attend a series of meetings.

The reason we need a series of meetings is that we are so dead we need to be jump started.

After we have been jump started we should be able to keep the charge.

Actually this list is the lifestyle that a christian ought to be living in the first place, but because we become distracted from the things of God and become spiritually dead we need to be revived.

TOUCHING LIVE'S IN 2011

Jerry Moyer

Every year before our touring season we always pray that God opens the doors to the churches and communities that need our ministry the most. God did open so many doors this touring season to so many wonderful churches with people that had a heart to reach out to their communities. We had and awesome year of ministry with 700 salivations and thousand of lives touch. We ministered 75 times in 22 churches and 2 camps. It was such an amazing touring season with so many touching stories that we would like to share a few of them with you.

In June, we ministered at Faith Family Church in Glastonbury, CT where we did a children/family event and we also partnered with them to do an outreach in a local housing project in New Haven, CT. After the outreach was over a young boy came up to one of the workers and told her, "That was fun! You guys should come back every Saturday!" PTL that's what it is all about reaching and touching lives for Christ.

In July, we ministered in Floral Park, NY at Christ Assembly of God. It was such a blessing to minister at this church. The entire congregation was of Indian descent (from India). Most of them have lived in America a while with their children being born in America. We had such an awesome time with this church, not only in our ministry time but also getting to know them. When we were pulling out slowly to leave, we had 3 young girls running along side of our Suburban saying, "We are going to miss you! Come back again! We love you." It really touched our hearts.

In August, we minister at Deland Nazarene in Deland, FL and Living Waters Fellowship in Chico, TX. Both of these churches were in smaller towns but had such a heart for their communities. Each night the crowds grew with unchurched people from their community. It was awesome to see lives transformed. In the church in Chico, TX one night 2 men came forward to be born again. They were both skate boarders at the park and someone from the church had invited them. PTL!

We also had some very touching testimonies shared with us. We received an email from a parent that said, "My children and myself were so blessed to meet you. We are out side working concentrating on what we are doing and out of no where comes the things you taught us for example: Jesus said you must be, you must be born again and we all join in and go nuts with it. They remember ever bit of what you taught. We appreciate you both dearly. God bless and thank you.!!!!" Another one came from a father in Chico, TX which reads. "Well ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to the NEWEST Born-Again Moore Family member as of tonight, August 15, 2011:Jackson Dewayne Moore... My Son...A NEW CREATION in Christ! At the Altar call tonight at Pastor Robert Cox's Church in Chico, when the invitation was given, Little Jackson, that is 5, raised his hand on his own, bowed at the altar on his own, and received JESUS CHRIST AS Lord and Savior...I am one PROUD DADDY!!!! Praise the Lord!"

And one final testimony was at a children's camp in Ingleside, IL a lady share with us that her grandson went forward during an altar call to get closer to God. When she asked him about it he told her, "Grandma, I got Altered!"

We had such an amazing and blessed year. We met so many wonderful people and saw so many lives touched during our 2011 touring season.

Below are a few pictures from our 2011 tour season

Jubilee Gang Ministries Building Project Update

Today Dec. 17th 2011 the driveway for tne building was put in. The next step will be laying the asphalt in the spring then finishing off the inside so we can start filming children's programing for the Internet & DVD.

When this building is finished it will give us much needed space to base our ministry out of and will house a video studio where we will be able to film and edit video. It will also give us space to store, set up, and work on our equipment. Right now we can only work on it while we are on the road. And we store our equipment in our trailer all winter which is not good for all the electronic components. This will help us to be able to take our ministry to the next level and eventually it will house our offices.The Building is costing $40,000 to put up plus the finishing off of the inside including insulation & electric.

Dear friends and partners,

As the Christmas season is upon us I am reminded of the greatest Christmas Gift that was ever given. The birth of God's son into the world to redeem us back from the devil "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever believeth on Him will have eternal life." This is a very familiar verse to most of us and it would be easy to just quote it really fast and jump past it when we see it written out. However, there is a lot contained in this verse that we can miss if we do that.
The reason God gave us Jesus is because he loved the world. While we were yet sinners God loved us. While we were still by nature against him, He loved us so much that he gave his only Son.
In 1 Cor. 13:4-8 we find what most people call the love chapter. These verses describe the God kind of love or God's love toward us. This is the same love that we receive when we are born again and receive God's nature in our lives. In the King James version of the bible the translators used the word charity instead of love. As I was growing up I always wondered why the translators used the word charity. It seemed like two totally different things to me. As I investigated the word charity more I discovered that it means loving someone so much that you give. This is truly the God kind of love. When you love someone so much that you give. True love is not about us it's about others. It's about seeing a need and doing something about it.
This Christmas season let us follow the God kind of love and be a blessing to others instead of it being all about us and what we can get. God loved the world so much that he gave his most prized possession for the betterment of the world. So that we could be brought back into relationship with our heavenly father. For this is the true meaning of Christmas!
As we celebrate the birth of the greatest gift ever given, we pray that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas Celebration. We are so grateful for all our partners, friends, and family. We are also grateful to a wonderful home church for allowing us to travel ministering to children and be on staff! And, all their support and prayers. God Bless all of you and Merry Christmas!

This Video reminds me of the Petra Song "For Annie" (Lyrics are below...

No one ever noticed Annie weeping People all around, but she was alone Mama's got her meeting and Daddy's got his job But no one's got the time, Annie's on her own No one ever knew her desperation People couldn't hear her cry out silently Locked inside the bathroom she grabs a jar of pills The medicine that cures becomes the poison that kills And it's too late for Annie She's gone away for good There's so much we could tell her And now we wish we could But it's to late, it's too late for Annie Sadness fills the hearts of Annie's family Daddy tries to comfort Mama uselessly They hoped she knew they loved her But they really didn't know They just want to know Why did their baby go?If only we'd have known her situation We'd have tried to stop this useless tragedy Annie's lost forever, never to be found But there are lots of others like her all around And it's not too late for Annie

Dear friends and partners,
We have had 2 awesome weeks ministering at 2 camps in IN & IL.

First we ministeried at the IN, IL, IA district 4 Square Kids camp in Ingleside, IL where we saw 35 children born again and many others flooded the altars every night to seek a deeper relationship with God and experenced a mighty outporing of the Holy Spirit! A grandmaw told me that she had saw her grandson respond to an altar call to get closer to God. When she asked her Grandson about his experence he said" Grandmaw, I got Altared! Maybe we all should be altared like this young man from time to time.


The 2nd week we ministered at the Indianapolis, IN district Nazarene Kids camp where we saw 56 children born again and many children touched by God and called to ministry during the week. I read a praise report on a Children's Pastor's Facebook page where a mother told her that the 1st thing her son said when he got home from camp was " Mommy, I got born again!" That's truly what it is all about! seeing lives changed and people coming into the Kingdom of God.


Over the next few weeks we will be ministering in OH, IN, NY, and FL. We are expecting to see God do awesome things during the rest of the summer and into the fall!

Below are some Pictures from these 2 camps
