Nearly 2,000 students recently crammed into the Paducah-McCracken County Convention & Expo Center around one central message: the hope of Jesus Christ.
Illusionist Jared Hall, 270 Collective worship band and evangelist Ken Freeman filled the night with compelling stories and songs. “But what happened next could only be a movement of God. Dozens of students came forward to make a decision to follow Jesus,” Kentucky Today reported.
Scott Thomas, pastor of Lone Oak First Baptist Church, said the Hope for West KY Student Rally was planned and prayed for extensively. They came expecting a big night.
“We’ve had over 60 churches participate. We’ve recruited over 250 decision counselors. You can sense God’s presence,” Thomas said. “We’ve been praying for God to move, and God’s been saying, ‘I’ve been waiting for you to show up.’”
