History
Jesus Revolution was founded in 1997 by Stephan and Anne Christiansen in Oslo, Norway. It began as a youth-focused missionary movement, initially also known as Jesus Revolution Army. The organization's goal is to spread the gospel among young people throughout Europe. It trains youth in mission courses, with its headquarters and training center in Oslo. Participants pay monthly fees that, according to the organization, are based on the standard of living in their home country. The organization offers young people a one-year opportunity, starting with the mission school and then practical missionary work in mission campaigns and concert tours. It is a mission partner of the Pentecostal European Forum. The movement uses direct conversations in pedestrian zones, concerts, street performances, and mobile teams that visit local congregations for several weeks to mobilize youth. Some teams perform their own Christian musicals to attract new members. They also deliberately reach out to non-Christians, such as Muslims, believing that Jesus is for all people. According to their own reports, they have been active in 900 cities and 35 countries with a total of 7,000 young people. In 2000, Stephan Christiansen also founded Jesus Church, which is part of the Pentecostal movement. Anne Christiansen is a founding member of JesusKvinner, a Christian women's organization. The movement holds a literal interpretation of the Bible and a creationist worldview.
