Back in 1996 I had Jude Fouquier speak at my summer camp. After seeing what we were all about, He told me of a guy in the country side of Washington state that was experiencing a revival. In a small town of 14,000 lived a man named Benny Perez who had a youth church of 1000 youth. Thats all he had to say to get me on the phone to invite him to our church. In the years to follow Benny and I became great friends. I was in his wedding and he was in mine. I consider Benny one of the greatest mentors in my life. I had the opportunity to visit Marrysville in the height of the Revival there. It was not only something that I will never forget, it shaped much of who I am today. Recently I came across some video form way back. With Benny’s permission I share it with you today. This was a tear jerker for me as it stirred in me my desire to see people delivered form the power of the devil. Here’s why Benny has come back to the Generation Conference every year since we started it:
