WHO
WE ARE
Acknowledging that life happens every day even to the best of us and that we don’t have to face it alone, JESUS NATION WORLD is a community of real people, leading real people to a real Jesus. We exist to minister life and hope to those who have read and heard about the peace of God, love, hope, joy and healing, prosperity and abundance but have struggled to find a way to possess it for themselves. Our motto is Show and tell Jesus.
We create an environment which is technologically and spiritually suited to the needs of all people – young and old. We will not condemn before we build and teach, and we would rather serve love than a mouthful of rebukes!
On a spiritual level, we believe there is a shift occurring in the Spiritual realm right now. While we fully understand our calling and what God is accomplishing through us, we do not claim to understand the full measure of what God is about to do. But this we know: He is doing a new thing.
-- "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.The beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. (Isaiah 43:19-20).
Worship and intercession are set forth as supremely important in God’s kingdom throughout all history. “Watch prayer” is a central part of God’s plan to advance His kingdom. The Christian church began and operated in prayer meetings (Acts 1:14; 2:42; 6:4). Human history began with daily prayer meetings in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:8). Israel began as a nation in a prayer meeting at Mt. Sinai (Ex. 19:6-20).
Israel’s first building project was to build a worship sanctuary (Ex. 25:2). God set apart an entire tribe (Levites) in Israel to maintain day-and-night worship. David established night-and-day worship in Jerusalem, providing full-time financing for over 4,000 musicians and singers in the tabernacle of David (1 Chr. 15-16; 23:5; 25:7). The early church natural history will end in the context of a powerful prayer movement.
Bearing this in mind, we prioritize prayer and worship and we wouldn’t be stretching the truth if we told you that our worship rocks and prayer reigns supreme at Jesus Nation World.

NATION SERVICE GROUPS
Plugging into a new church can be a difficult process. We know that this process is both spiritual and relational. Nation Service Groups will help you to grow in Christ-likeness by providing opportunities to take advantage of programs and activities catering to your specific needs.

SHOW AND TELL
Well, I guess all of us began our training for public speaking back in Kindergarten or maybe First Grade. Remember when the teacher had you do Show and Tell? You had to bring some object to school and tell about it or what it represented. To this day we scramble around our house a lot of mornings as one of our three children remembers, of course, with one foot out the door, "Mom, I've got Show and Tell today." So we race around the house trying to find something they can show. See, the teacher isn't interested in us just showing up with a story that day. No, we need something tangible to go along with our story. Telling is not enough to make it. If you show up with your show, you have to tell about it too.
So it is with the story of the love of Jesus and His power. It is a Show and Tell story! At Jesus Nation, like these teachers, we are not interested in nice stories about the goodness of Jesus and His power without the demonstration, no! We want to see the show of it as well as hear the story behind it as a single delivery and not one without the other.
OK let me Tell you where it is in the Bible (you will need to hang with us so we can Show it to you). Here it is. In Matthew 5:16 Jesus says, "Let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." We're supposed to attract people to Jesus. How do we do that? It says, "With your good deeds." You lead with deeds. In other words, evidence of the life change Jesus Christ makes; the difference He makes in someone who knows Him.
My favorite one is Matthew 9:35. It says, “Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching (Tell) in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness (Show). Jesus was not only moved with compassion for them, but He taught them and healed them as a complete package.
Another one is 1 Peter 2:12. It says, "Live good lives among the pagans that though they may accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us." He's talking here about a total change of heart toward God. Why? Because of the good deeds they see in you. So in a way, the lost people around us are like those teachers, the Show and Tell people. Don't just come with something to tell. Show me! Prove it to me. Let me see evidence of it. Show me how it works.
So here's an important question we should all be asking. "What difference could I ask Jesus to make in me that these people would notice?" What kind of difference would mean something to your family? Or your coworkers? Your teammates? And here's a second question, "How could I show love to these people in a way that would mean something to them?" Most people won't be interested in all the religious things you do, and the meetings you go to, and all the beliefs you hold. But they can't ignore one changed life and your strong love for them - the living proof that you've got a living Savior.
We learned when we were very young that they've got to go together - Show and Tell. If you never tell them, they will never know what Jesus did on the cross for them. If you never show them, they'll not listen when you tell them. Lead with deeds. They'll open the door. But then you bring Jesus in through that open door.
If you are interested in Showing and Telling the story of the love of Jesus and His power, fill out the form below and we will be in touch with you.
1 Peter 3:15 nails it. It says, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." In this case, the "show" is a positive, hope-filled, optimistic outlook on life. It will make people say, "Well, how do you get like that?" But see, you have to tell. If you just took some unusual object to Show and Tell, everyone might think it's interesting, but they wouldn't know what it was. Words are necessary. You know, that lost person you know at work, or in your family, or at school, they can watch you for the next twenty years, but they're not going to say, "You know, Joe is such a nice guy, I'll bet Jesus died on the cross for me." No, you're going to have to tell them that. They're not going to figure it out.
But you do have to show it or no one will be interested in what you have to tell. It seems like believers tend to overdo one or the other doesn't it? Some just show Jesus by the way they're living but they never tell about Him. Or others witness real aggressively. They tell all the time, but they're not winning the right to be heard; like specializing on good deeds in the lives around us.
