Friday, January 18, 2013
What Pastors across America are saying about The Jubilee Gang
What Pastors across America are saying about The Jubilee Gang
Pastor Jeff Schlemmer Family Pastor at Vertical Church in West Haven, CTJubilee Gang is a fast paced, multi-media explosion! Jerry and Candy Moyer have a huge heart to see all children reached for Jesus Christ! They have run a four day children’s conference for us on several occasions and been a true blessing to our church and children. Easy to work with and highly organized they come in and hit the ground running. With Jubilee Gang you get a lot of bag for your buck! Their stage production is second to none and a great value compared to other ministries we reviewed. Jerry and Candy pull out all the stops! Their productions utilize interactive games, objects lesson, skits, sound effects, videos, lighting and an amazing guest puppet “Wild Thing” all of which create an awesome atmosphere to minster to kids! Their range of teaching topics is broad and always fresh. The Moyers teach the Word of God in a simple, clear, accurate way that kids get it! I have seen firsthand and through following their ministry that they are effective ministers of the Gospel. Their presentation of salvation is God-filled and wherever they share children are moved to receive Christ. It is my pleasure to recommend Jerry and Candy Moyer to you I am confident that they will effectively communicate Christ to kids and lives will be changed!
The Jubilee Gang is an exciting, Multi-media children’s ministry that ministers in a way that keeps children on the edge of their seats. Jerry Moyer and the Jubilee Gang are on the very cutting edge of children’s ministry, and I would highly recommend them to minister to the adults and children in your congregation.
Pastor Josh Payne , Pastor at Victory Church in Troy, PA
We were pleased to host the Jubilee Gang for our Back to School Blast Sunday morning main event. The excellence of this ministry begins when the door of their trailer drops. Everything had a place and there was a place for everything. Jubilee Gang is a far cry from a rag tag hodge podge of antiquated Sunday School style entertainment. The Jubilee Gang provided Victory Church with a meaningful ministry experience that still has our children and adults alike talking about the impartation they received months after the event. The Moyers have spared no expense in there investment using equipment that is cutting edge and will engage young and old alike as Jerry delivers Gods timeless truth. Jerry's message is anointed and uncompromising. His in your face style is not only what the youth of this generation need but it’s what they want. Young to old and everyone in between will be encouraged and inspired to not only follow but chase after Jesus Christ.
Frank Trezoglou Children’s Pastor Christian Life Assembly in Columbia, SC
Jerry and his team did an outstanding Job at a four-day crusade here at Christian Life. The children responded to their ministry in an extremely positive way and were encouraged in their own personal walks with Jesus. I would highly recommend this Team to come to your Church and work with your children and adults..
Mike Dsane, Children’s Pastor Crossroads Church Assembly of God of Oklahoma City, OK
The Jubilee Gang’s time of ministry at our church was incredible. Because our church is made up of such a diversity of people, it is difficult to meet the cultural needs of everyone in the congregation. When a group of inner city students walked in and experienced the ministry of the Jubilee Gang, they showed more excitement than I had ever seen out of them in a church service. Their ministry broke every distinction whether it was age, race, or denomination. Students went home excited not only excited by the event, but also the decision they had made for Christ.
Dianne Sheeley, Associate Pastor to Children Stillmeadow Church of the Nazarene in York, PA
Our families and kids are still talking about the awesome ministry event last year. What a creative and exciting way to show kids God's love and their need of a savior, Jesus Christ. We are having a great time discipling the many boys and girls that were saved when the Jubilee Gang came to Stillmeadow Church of the Nazarene in York, PA.
Pastor Bob Trombi, Champions Church in Portland, OR
There are not many traveling Children's Ministers that have so much to offer as the Jubilee Gang. Jerry Moyer is a talented and committed Christian who has a vision to reach children. He uses the most cutting edge equipment and visuals to keep their attention. Your children will love him and his ministry, and you will see your children's workers rise to a new level of excitement and commitment after experiencing his ministry.
Pastor Tony Watson, Manchester Church of the Nazarene in Manchester, OH
I would highly recommend the Jubilee Gang to any church that is interested in reaching kids for Christ. They know how to minister to young people. We had them for a one day crusade, and it was simply outstanding. We had over 70 young people accept Christ as the personal Savior. Their ministry presentation was dynamic with all the lights, sound, and videos; their conduct was of the highest Christian standard, and their equipment was the best I've ever seen. Consider them for your next "Big" children's event!
Geri Grieb, Children’s Director at New Beginning Christian Center in Portland, OR
We were so blessed to have Jubilee Gang minister at our church! Our families loved the fun faith filled multi-media ministry. It also gave our children’s ministry team a vision of how to reach the children of our city. With ease and excellence Jubilee Gang is busy about our Father’s business, bringing souls into the Kingdom of God!
Pastor Dan Leiker, River of Life Christian Center in Urbana, Ohio
Jerry worked for us as children's pastor and help implement and trained our workers to reach and raise up this next generation. He has a sincere and hungry heart to minister to children every where, and is loaded with great ideas that are guaranteed to change your children into world changers. I highly recommend the Jubilee Gang to you and your children's ministry. It will be a great blessing to you and your church.
Pam Majors Children’s Pastor Evangel Assembly of God Wichita, Kansas
What a blessing The Jubilee Gang was to our church families, kids, and to our community. We were privileged to host The Jubilee gang in for a three night kids event and saw over 56 children respond to the altar with 26 making first time decisions. Weeks following the event we are still receiving thank you’s and compliments from parents. Jubilee Gang is extremely professional and definitely ministry minded. Our time with Jerry and The Jubilee Gang was refreshing and uplifting for both young and old alike. We are already talking about scheduling them again for an upcoming event. Jerry and his team are compassionate, relevant and people of integrity. This is one ministry that will bless your church!
Pastor Joe Cameneti, Believers Christian Fellowship in Warren, Ohio
The Jubilee Gang has been a great blessing in our church! We used them in a six day camp meeting. They held the children's attention, built excitement in them, and ministered to their spirits, soul, and body at the same time. I highly recommend them as a ministry that will bless the churches they go to.
Pastor Mark DiGirolamo Children’s Pastor Visalia First Assembly of God: Visalia, CA
I have had the opportunity to have Jerry and his ministry team at our church on two occasions. The latest was Easter 2006 where they ministered to over 700 kids and adults. Their ministry is Bible based, high energy and full of multimedia that will help any child to remain attentive and alert to hear the message presented. I would not hesitate to have The Jubilee Gang minister to the children of my church. We saw kids at each of our services accept the invitation to be prayed for at the altar. They are great to work with and have a great attitude towards ministry.
Rich Maus, Minister of Children Cornerstone Church in Toledo, OH
I have found Mr. Moyer and his team are excellent to work with. Our kids really enjoyed their ministry, and I appreciated their heart to minister to kids. Jerry has really done his homework with a great set design, excellent multi-media presentation, and a fast paced program that captures both kids and adults attention. The Jubilee Gang was excellent to work with.
Darrell and Sharon Worley Pastors at Christian Life Assembly in Picayune, MS
You did such an outstanding job. We are so happy that we had 74 kids respond for salvation that week! We know there will be many eternal results from the time that you spent here with us!
Jamey Bowles Children’s Pastor at Bethel Assembly of God in Duncan, OK
The Jubilee Gang did an awesome job of ministering here! Our KidZone Invasion consisted of a 3-day Kids Crusade Events at our church and 2 elementary school assemblies which reach approximately 1600 students. Teachers, principals, and the school superintendent of schools were all thrilled with the “Gang’s” ability to bring a positive life message to the kids with such fun and excitement.
The Crusade at the church was awesome! Kids and adults alike were ministered to through the games, story telling, puppets, and light show. The “Gang’s” excitement draws the kids into the event, and their heart for the kids and ministry combine to make an event where kid’s lives can and will be changed by the power of God. We had 40-50 kids respond to give their lives to Jesus!
I would wholeheartedly recommend them for any ministry event you might be planning. Their versatility, humility, and heart for God and kids make them one of the best ministries I have worked with!
Pastor Randy Brummitt Lead Pastor First Assembly of God Collierville, TN
What a blessing it was to have the Jubilee Gang with us this week! It was undoubtedly one of the greatest family / kids crusade events that I have hosted in 2o plus years of pastoral ministry! We look forward to scheduling Them again soon!
Mark Williams Children’s Pastor at Life Fellowship in Weatherford, OK
Our pastor's wife was teaching a Wednesday night class and a mom was helping. The mom brought in her form that we have everyone fill out before they help in children's church. Pastor's wife looked at the form and saw that the mom got saved in October and asked her about it
The mom's two kids came to the crusade and heard about being born again.
The boy came to the front to pray. (That's awesome at that) That night
when they got home, they told their mom about being born again and the mom
got saved in her living room that night and has been faithful to church
ever since.
Tim Carpenter
Children’s Pastor Bethany World Prayer Center in Baton Rouge, LA
I
am writing this letter for the purpose of recommending Jubilee Gang for an
event at your church. Jerry and Candy Moyer have committed their lives to
reaching kids with the powerful message of the Gospel.
We
hosted the Jubilee Gang for a three day VBS July 2009 and the kids are still
talking about the wonderfully fun and life changing experience.
When
I think of the Jubilee Gang, I think of three reasons I would definitely have
them back at our church.
- A commitment to teaching and presenting the Word of God in a creative, fun way.
So many groups are very entertaining, but there is no
ministry and the Word of God is a side issue that just goes with their program.
Brother Jerry packs a lot of punch with his program. It’s the Word and the
Gospel that produces the fruit and makes lasting change. Kids got saved each
night and still remember the fun characters, video and overall experience.
- A commitment to a “spirit of excellence” in everything they do.
I appreciated so much that from the time they pulled
in to the time they left, everything they did was portrayed with excellence.
The program is well thought and prepared. I didn’t have to worry about
anything, because JG had a smooth running event. Brother Jerry and Candy are
people of integrity and high moral character and that is evident when you meet
them in person.
- A commitment to the kids and families.
Brother Jerry has such a heart for kids and families
that they love being around he and his wife, Candy. How could kids not love
someone named Candy? She is a beautiful person and has such a heart for
ministry that they won’t quit until the last kid is prayed for or family ministered
to. Every child feels special at a Jubilee Gang event!

Church Minded Vs. Kingdom Minded
Church Minded Vs. Kingdom Minded
We hear a lot today about church growth and church growth is good. A healthy church should be growing just like a healthy person should grow. A healthy church cannot help but grow!
A lot of churches are starting to evaluate every program according to how much it helps the church grow. Evaluation is good and healthy as long as we look at the big picture. The big picture that I am talking about is the Kingdom of God.
Matt. 6:33 says that if we seek first the kingdom of God that all these things will be added unto us. We do not seek his kingdom to get what we want, but as we seek first the kingdom of God our lives and ministry cannot help but grow.
Church growth cannot be the only reason we do certain programs or cut certain programs in our local churches. There is a much higher calling to grow the kingdom of God.
Jesus said in the great commission to go into all the world and make disciples. Those people that need to be reached and discipled in all the world don’t just include people from our local communities that will attend our local churches.
A lot of times when people look at having a Kid’s Crusade or family outreach event they count how many families return after the event and judge whether they should continue having this kind of events in the future.
A lot of times we see great growth in our local churches from such events, but sometimes it does not effect the growth of our local body however it effects the growth of the kingdom of God.
Now I am not saying that we should not evaluate the effectiveness of a certain ministry or outreach events. We should evaluate everything we do to find out if it reached the goals we had for the event and how we can be more effective in reaching these goals during future events. However, our goal should not just be getting new people to come to our church. It should be part of it, but not the entire goal.
When I was on staff as a children’s pastor, I would ask myself what is the goal of any given event and how can we best achieve this goal. A lot of times we do an event just because we have always done this event.
When looking at the event of a traditional VBS and seeing the large budget it required and the manpower from our church, I would ask myself what the goal of VBS was. Was it to encourage the Christian children in our church to grow or to outreach into the community? Being the evangelist that I am and knowing that my children were well taught in children’s church my goal for most large events was outreach.
Then, I would ask myself if we were achieving that goal through the current VBS program. Most VBS curriculums are designed to teach bible truths around a certain theme for the year and not to see children born again and made disciples. VBS programs in some communities have turned into nothing more than a baby sitting service to the parents of the community. Kids jump from VBS to VBS every week during the summer just to have something to do while their parents are at work. Churches even work together to make sure that every week in the summer is covered by a different church and that everyone is not using the same curriculum. Most VBS curriculums have been watered down so that it is not offensive to anyone to get more children to attend. Sure there is a small amount of Bible in the curriculum, but in its self is not anything that will change a life for eternity.
After evaluating the program and seeing that my goal was outreach and evangelism, I decided to change to more of a Kids Crusade format. I do not call it a Kid’s Crusade because the un churched community does not understand the term and usually associate it with the crusades of the dark ages.
I have always been a kingdom minded person. Probably because Matt. 6:33 was one of the first scriptures that really came alive to me as a teen.
We will not always see church growth as a result of an event or program; however we must ask our self if the kingdom grew because of the event or program. Now I am not talking about loosely using the phrase …
“If we touched one child it is worth it”
It is worth it to touch the life of one child. We do not know what that child will become. Maybe this child might become the next Billy Graham or something. But why should we only touch the life of one child during the event? While we are touching their live why not touch the lives of hundreds more. If only one child is reached we should ask ourselves how we can reach more next time and make the adjustments to our program, advertising, and marketing of the event to the community to reach more people.
We recently ministered at a church that had us in and had small crowds each night. Mostly church kids and a few un churched friends attended. The same children came forward each evening during the invitation to be born again. A few people that did not attend the church came forward, but it was mostly the children from their church. I would say around 20 children were born again despite having around 50 children respond to the invitation during the 3 day event. I could see where the pastor might be discouraged and consider not having this type of event in the future because of the cost of the program and the results he saw.
No one new that a friend of mine from facebook attended the service from a neighboring town one of the evenings with a group of children including her 7 year old daughter. She had seen on facebook where we were going to be ministering at this church and wanted to come and check out our ministry.
After the event I received the following e-mail from my facebook friend…
"Thanks for inviting us. I'm sorry we couldn't make all three days. The kids I brought LOVED it, they want you to come to our church. My daughter who's 7 also came with me on Monday night. She has been telling people in her class and in our congregation how she is "born again" and "how God gave her a clean heart". This is HUGE coming from a very Traditional Presbyterian Church. So thank you. You have encouraged me to change my Sunday School curriculum and change the direction of my ministry to be more evangelism based. I'll be back in touch soon after speaking with our finance committee to discuss scheduling a Jubilee Gang event at our church.”
This was worth the whole event to see the lives of these young people changed and to see the possibility of an entire children’s ministry at another church become more evangelistic because of the children’s pastor attending this meeting.
I also received a testimony from a children’s pastor in VA that was born again at a Kids Crusade at a church that he did not attend and never attended except for the Kid’s Crusade where he was born again. Below is his story…
“When I was 5 years old my parents took me to see a traveling children’s evangelist who was ministering in a local church. At the end of the service I asked Jesus into my heart for the first time. My family and I never went back to that church but found ourselves planted in another local church where we grew in Christ. I often think about that first church where I found Jesus. I’m so grateful that church had a kingdom mindset when it came to outreach. Many churches see the goal of outreach as a way to boost attendance numbers. Outreaches are evaluated by measurable returns, but the Bible reminds us that we’re here to build a kingdom…not just our own church. I’m grateful for ministries like the Jubilee Gang who spend their time spreading the seed of God’s word into young hearts. And I’m grateful that this first church had a kingdom mindset that allowed me to hear the gospel for the first time. Their measurable return may be considered insufficient by many churches today but I will be eternally grateful to God for them.”
This is what it is all about folks! As a result of this church being kingdom minded this young child was born again and is now a children’s pastor at a large church that is affecting hundreds if not thousands of lives.
It would be wrong to not give a testimony from a church that did not see growth from a Kids crusade at their church. I received the following letter from a church in OK where a child was born again during the kids crusade and went home and told his mother about Christ and led her to the lord…
“Our pastor's wife was teaching a Wednesday night class and a mom was helping. The mom brought in her form that we have everyone fill out before they help in children's church. Pastor's wife looked at the form and saw that the mom got saved in October and asked her about it.
The mom's two kids came to the crusade and heard about being born again. The boy came to the front to pray. (That's awesome at that) That night when they got home, they told their mom about being born again and the mom got saved in her living room that night and has been faithful to church ever since.”
We would have never have know this if the pastor’s wife had not asked some questions. The kingdom was affected by this event!
When evaluating events and programs let make sure that we are not cutting a program that is affecting the Kingdom when we do not see our church numbers increase.

Jubilee Gang Christmas News Letter
 | ||
Jerry, Candy, & Wild Thing! |
Dear Friends and Partners,
As the year comes to an end and we are all enjoying the holidays with our families we look back over this year for Jubilee Gang Ministries. We had another awesome year of ministering to children and families and feel so blessed and grateful for all God is doing through this ministry. We traveled over 25,000 miles from CT to WA State, ministered in 34 churches, in 18 different states. We ministered in over 151 different services this year, and have seen over 1,188 people born again.
This summer we were on the road for 3 months without coming home. Even though the schedule and being away from home was grueling at times and we missed seeing our family and friends it was a very fruitful summer. In July we partnered with Gospel Hill Ministries in Warsaw, OH to conduct an outreach event on the White Mountains Apache Reservation in the White Mountains of AZ. During this two day event we saw 74 people born again. Also in July we partnered with 6 different churches in Bullhead City, AZ to conduct a city wide outreach that was held in their local High School. It was awesome to see 6 different churches from a variety of backgrounds as divers as Baptist, to Pentecostal, to non denominational come together to reach out to their community. During this 3 day event we saw over 50 people born again.
It looks like 2013 will be another busy year as we again travel from coast to coast ministering to children and families across America. Please keep us in your prayers as we travel Americas highways leading men, woman, boys, and girls to Jesus.

Evangelism Quotes
“Evangelizing in the church is like fishing in a bathtub:
it’s terribly convenient, but you don’t catch much.” (Dr. Roy Fish)
"We're no longer fishers of men, but keepers of the
aquarium, and we spend most of our time swiping fish from each others
bowls."
"In the Great Commission, the Lord has called us to
be--like Peter--fishers of men. We’ve turned the commission around so that we
have become merely keepers of the aquarium. Occasionally I take some fish out
of your fishbowl and put them into mine, and you do the same with my bowl. But
we’re all tending the same fish."
"Evangelism is the outward flowing of the rivers of
grace toward men, but worship is the upward expression of the human spirit
toward God."
- Donald Gee
We need to quit praying that God would send revival! He sent
you to your city. Become the revival that you have been praying for!
The church that becomes focused upon maintaining itself
instead of the gospel becomes a dead branch of the living vine... Thomas C.
Oden
I'm sick and tired of only reading about church history;
let's make some by the grace of God! - LEONARD RAVENHILL
"We are not called to proclaim philosophy and
metaphysics, but the simple gospel. Man's fall, his need of a new birth,
forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are
our battle-ax and weapons of war." - C. H. SPURGEON
"We are not called to proclaim philosophy and
metaphysics, but the simple gospel. Man's fall, his need of a new birth,
forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are
our battle-ax and weapons of war." - C. H. SPURGEON
To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a
pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a
University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside
remains unchanged you have wasted your labor. You must in some way or other
graft upon the man's nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the
Divine. - General William Booth
The true follower of Christ will not ask, "If I embrace
this truth, what will it cost me?" Rather he will say, "This is
truth. God help me to walk in it, let come what may!" ~ A. W. Tozer
"Let's quit fiddling with religion and do something to
bring the world to Christ." ~ Billy Sunday
When is a revival needed? When carelessness and unconcern
keep the people asleep. - Billy Sunday
"It is possible for the most obscure person in a
church, with a heart right toward God, to exercise as much power for the
evangelization of the world, as it is for those who stand in the most prominent
positions." -- John R. Mott
A revival is nothing else than a new beginning of obedience
to God. - Charles Finney
“Catch on fire and others will love to come watch you burn.”
- John Wesley
"We must wake ourselves up! Or somebody else will take
our place, and bear our cross, and thereby rob us of our crown."- William
Booth
“You have nothing to do but to save souls. Therefore spend
and be spent in this work. And go not only to those that need you, but to those
that need you most…It is not your business to preach so many times, and to take
care of this or that society; but to save as many souls as you can; to bring as
many sinners as you possibly can to repentance.”
– John Wesley
"The greatest of all things is not theology; it is not
controversy; it is to save souls." - Dr. Lyman Beecher
On the night of October 8, 1871, D.L. Moody finished a
message with some words he regretted for the rest of his life. So great was his
remorse that he committed himself to never making the same mistake again. The
title of Moody's sermon was "What Shall I Do with Jesus?" At the end,
he announced, "Now I want you to take the question with you and think it
over, and next Sunday I want you to come back and tell me what you're going to
do with Him." But next Sunday never came. As Moody dismissed his audience,
the nearby courthouse fire bell sounded. At the time, no one had any idea how
serious the blaze would become. As it turned out, the hall in which Moody
spoke, the church he established, and his home were all destroyed in the
inferno that became the Great Chicago Fire, along with more than 18,000 other
buildings. But Moody hardly gave a second thought to his gutted home and
church. They could easily be replaced – but not the lost souls. It was the
memory of the audience he never saw again that was seared in his mind for the
rest of his life.
If your Gospel isn't touching others, it hasn't touched you!
-Curry R. Blake
"There is no improving the future without disturbing
the present." - Catherine Booth
"In all ages conformity to the world by Christians has
resulted in lack of spiritual life and a consequent lack of spiritual vision
and enterprise. A secularized or self-centered Church can never evangelize the
world." - John R. Mot
When William and Catherine Booth were told by their
denomination to move from a place where they were making a maximum impact for
the Kingdom of God to another area where they would not be able to make such an
impact, Katherine Booth stood up and boldly proclaimed "HELL NO!" Let
us proclaim to Hell that we will not conform to its plans for our lives no
matter who the messenger is! Let us follow God and make a Maximum Impact for
His Kingdom!
Our relationship with God is a personal thing but not a
private thing. We are the light of the world. We should never hide our light!
Reaching the lost is the lifeblood of a church. If you
aren't winning souls, be so disturbed about it that you change! - Willie George
Ministry need not be an office; it’s a lifestyle
devoted to attracting the lost to Christ and encouraging other believers in the
faith.” – D.L. Moody
I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would
rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with
light-- John Keith Falconer
The Great Commission is not an option to be
considered; it is a command to be obeyed -- Hudson Taylor
The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men
into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the
cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a
waste of time. God became Man for no other purpose. --C. S. Lewis
“The crowds themselves are meaningless. The thing
that counts is what happens to the hearts of the people.” - Billy Graham
"Isn't it staggering when you think that one
sermon on the day of Pentecost produced 3000 people? And we had some cities
yesterday where 3000 sermons were preached and nobody was saved. And it doesn't
even faze us."- Leonard Ravenhill
"Evangelism is not a professional job for a few trained men, but is instead the unrelenting responsibility of every person who belongs to the company of Jesus." - Elton Trueblood
Evangelism is the spontaneous overflow of a glad and free heart in Jesus Christ.
A man once testified in one of D.L. Moody's meetings that he had lived "on the Mount of Transfiguration" for five years. "How many souls did you lead to Christ last year?" Moody bluntly asked him. "Well," the man hesitated, "I don't know." "Have you saved any?" Moody persisted. "I don't know that I have," the man admitted. "Well," said Moody, "we don't want that kind of mountaintop experience. When a man gets up so high that he cannot reach down and save poor sinners, there is something wrong.
Some wish to live within the sound of a chapel bell; I wish to run a rescue mission within a yard of hell. -- C.T. Studd
“I look on all the world as my parish; thus far I mean, that, in whatever part of it I am, I judge it meet, right, and my bounden duty, to declare unto all that are willing to hear, the glad tidings of salvation” -John Wesley
“We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.” - Dwight L Moody
"God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell!" Charles Spurgeon
"Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth." - John Wesley
To call a man evangelical who is not evangelistic is an utter contradiction. - Morgan, G. Campbell
"I'd rather have people hate me with the knowledge that I tried to save them." - Keith Green
“Oh, to realize that souls, precious, never dying souls, are perishing all around us, going out into the blackness of darkness and despair, eternally lost, and yet to feel no anguish, shed no tears, know no travail! How little we know of the compassion of Jesus!" - Oswald J. Smith
"It is of no use for any of you to try to be soul-winners if you are not bearing fruit in your own lives. How can you serve the Lord with your lips if you do not serve Him with your lives.? How can you preach His gospel with your tongues, when with hands, feet, and heart you are preaching the devil’s gospel, and setting up an antichrist by your practical unholiness?" - Charles Spurgeon
"Can we go too fast in saving souls? If anyone still wants a reply, let him ask the lost souls in Hell."- William Booth
Our business is to present the Christian faith clothed in modern terms, not to propagate modern thought clothed in Christian terms. Confusion here is fatal. - J. I. Packer
It is now possible to live a "christian life" without doing the things that Jesus commanded us to do. "We have hired people to go into all the world, to visit those in prison, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to care for widows and orphans. The average Christian doesn't have to do it.--Cal Thomas
A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!- Billy Sundy
I have but one passion: It is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ. -- Count Nicolaus Ludwn Zinzendorf
Are you waiting on the call? Stop waiting... We are called to surrender and once surrender happens the commissioning will come. (Acts 1:4)
In an effort to rebrand the church, we must be careful not to rebrand the message of Christ!
"Evangelism requires leadership. Leading someone toward giving up their world-view & embracing yours isn't easy" Seth Godin
"We've made a big mistake by asking people to "ask Jesus into their hearts"...Jesus never asked for our "hearts"...Jesus asked for our lives and the question is not if we will receive Jesus the question is have me met the requirements for God to receive us...we come to God on God's terms." Rick Renner
True ministry is reaching people and touching lives. Everything else is just stuff we have to do. - Jerry Moyer
With decades of leading the body of Christ into positional truths - isn't it time that we now lead the same toward a concern for the lost? – Doug Jones
Someone asked “will the heathen who have never heard the Gospel be saved?” It is more a question with me whether we who have the Gospel and fail to give it to those who have not can be saved. -- Charles Spurgeon
God calls us into ministry to be his hands and feet to our generation. If it ceases to be about this, maybe we should look for another job!
"If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this." ~ C.S. Lewis
"The walls of every church must include the ends of the earth" - R. Bonnke
"The Christian is a person who makes it easy for others to believe in God." - Robert Murray McCheyne
It matters not how spiritual a church may profess to be, if souls are not saved, something is radically wrong, and the professed spirituality is simply a false experience, a delusion of the devil. People who are satisfied to meet together simply to have a good time among themselves are far away from God. Real spirituality always has an outcome." - Oswald J. Smith

Our Book "Six Types of Games That Teach" is now Available on Kindle
Our Book called " Six Types of Games That Teach" is now Available on Kindle at the link below
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0080NB03U
The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how to teach children the Word of God by using different type of games. It is not designed to give you new game ideas, but rather how to use games to teach. We have found children learn faster and easier when they are having fun. So, over the years we have incorporated these six different types of games into our lessons to get our point across and help children retain the message. We teach that games are not just fun activities, but can also be an effective method to teach your lesson while getting the message across to children. Not all of the games in this book are our original ideas, but games we have seen and used in children’s church and Jubilee Gang events to help get biblical truths into the hearts of children.

Jubilee Gang Family Event vs. Kids Crusade
- Family events
- Our programs are simple enough for a child to understand but relative to all ages.
- Families can receive ministry together, grow spiritually together, and participate in the interactivity of the event together.
- Adults don’t feel spoken down to or out of place because our programs minister to old and young alike.
- Attendance is usually better.
- Many adults feel they received just as much as their children do, and remark on how refreshing it is to be in a service with their children where the kids are not board yet the parents enjoyed it.
- Jubilee Gang family events cross many boundaries including age, race, and culture.
- Parents help with crowd control and financial support of the event.
- Use the event to outreach to unchurched families in your community with a fun, yet straight up with the gospel message event.
- Encourage you church families to discuses the message from the event at home bringing dialogue about faith between children and parents.
- Kids Crusades
- Reach out to the children in your community with a kid’s crusade style event instead of a traditional VBS.
- Children are ministered to separately from their parents on their level.
- Children often respond to ministry invitations better when parents are not watching.
- Adult helpers must be recruited to help with crowd control and organization of the event.
- Use the event as a time set aside just for the children of your church and community.
- Children do not have the means to support an event like this. Plus, parents are less likely to give because they are not involved, so support of the event will need to come from church budget or fund raisers.

What sets the Jubilee Gang Apart?
What sets the Jubilee Gang Apart?
Experience:
A Jubilee Gang event is a one of a kind experience for children and families. All in attendance will stay on the edge of their seats as they learn bible truths. We bring our own sound, lighting, and video to provide the most cutting edge ministry experience possible. Our system includes robotic intelligentlights, lasers, hilarious video clips, exciting adrenaline blasted games, and interactive video games on a large screen to provide and atmosphere of excitement and expectation.
Message:
Jerry Moyer is one of the top communicators to children and families today. His style is simple enough for a child to understand, but relative to all ages. Bible truths will be taught in a way that all in attendance walk away challenged to deepen their relationship with God. Through the use of video clips, multi media presentations, skits, and games the message of each lesson is driven home in a way that breaks down barriers and inhibitions that people might have. Each lesson is filled with scripture and biblical truth, but it’s presented in a way that is easy to understand for adults and children alike.
Ministry:
The Jubilee Gang is very entertaining, but 100% about ministry. At the end of each program all in attendance will be given a chance to respond to the message presented, whether it is accepting Jesus and being born again, or going deeper in their relationship with God. The Jubilee Gang experience is about getting the world of God into people that produces change in their lives so that they will look and act like Jesus that ultimately results in being the light of the world.
Here is what others are saying about The Jubilee Gang
Pastor Josh Payne, Victory Church in Troy, Pa
We were pleased to host the Jubilee Gang this past September for our Back to School Blast Sunday morning main event. The excellence of this ministry begins when the door of their trailer drops. Everything had a place and there was a place for everything. Jubilee Gang is a far cry from a rag tag hodge podge of antiquated Sunday School style entertainment. The Jubilee Gang provided Victory Church with a meaningful ministry experience that still has our children and adults alike talking about the impartation they received months after the event. The Moyers have spared no expense in there investment using equipment that is cutting edge and will engage young and old alike as Jerry delivers Gods timeless truth. Jerry's message is anointed and uncompromising. His in your face style is not only what the youth of this generation need but its what they want. Young to old and everyone in between will be encouraged and inspired to not only follow but chase after Jesus Christ.
Mike Dsane, Children’s Pastor Crossroads Cathedral 1st Assembly of God of Oklahoma City, OK
The Jubilee Gang’s time of ministry at our church was incredible. Because our church is made up of such a diversity of people, it is difficult to meet the cultural needs of everyone in the congregation. When a group of inner city students walked in and experienced the ministry of the Jubilee Gang, they showed more excitement than I had ever seen out of them in a church service. Their ministry broke every distinction whether it was age, race, or denomination. Students went home excited not only excited by the event, but also the decision they had made for Christ.
Dianne Sheeley, Associate Pastor to Children Stillmeadow Church of the Nazarene in York, PA
Our families and kids are still talking about the awesome ministry event last year. What a creative and exciting way to show kids God's love and their need of a savior, Jesus Christ. We are having a great time discipling the many boys and girls that were saved when the Jubilee Gang came to Stillmeadow Church of the Nazarene in York, PA.
Pastor Bob Trombi, Champions Church in Portland, OR:
There are not many traveling Children's Ministers that have so much to offer as the Jubilee Gang. Jerry Moyer is a talented and committed Christian who has a vision to reach children and families. He uses the most cutting edge equipment and visuals to keep their attention. Your children will love him and his ministry, and you will see your children's workers rise to a new level of excitement and commitment after experiencing his ministry.
Geri Grieb, Children’s Director at New Beginning Christian Center in Portland, OR
We were so blessed to have Jubilee Gang minister at our church! Our families loved the fun faith filled multi-media ministry. It also gave our children’s ministry team a vision of how to reach the children of our city. With ease and excellence Jubilee Gang is busy about our Father’s business, bringing souls into the Kingdom of God!
Pastor Dennis Duirg, Children’s Pastor Living Word Church in Dayton, Ohio:
The Jubilee Gang is an exciting, Multi-media children’s ministry that ministers in a way that keeps children on the edge of their seats. Jerry Moyer and the Jubilee Gang are on the very cutting edge of children’s ministry, and I would highly recommend them to minister to the adults and children in your congregation.
Pastor Joe Cameneti, Believers Christian Fellowship in Warren, Ohio:
The Jubilee Gang has been a great blessing in our church! We used them in a six day camp meeting. They held the children's attention, built excitement in them, and ministered to their spirits, soul, and body at the same time. I highly recommend them as a ministry that will bless the churches they go to.
Pastor Mark DiGirolamo Children’s Pastor Visalia First Assembly of God: Visalia, CA
I am writing on behalf of Jerry Moyer and his ministry Jubilee Gang. I have had the opportunity to have Jerry and his ministry team at our church on two occasions. The most recent they ministered to over 700 kids and adults. Their ministry is Bible based, high energy and full of multimedia that will help any child to remain attentive and alert to hear the message presented. I would not hesitate to have The Jubilee Gang minister to the children of my church. We saw kids at each of our services accept the invitation to be prayed for at the altar. They are great to work with and have a great attitude towards ministry.
