How a Simple Act of Obedience Is Igniting Revival in Our Nation's SchoolsWhat happens when a teenage convert from atheism hears a challenge from the Lord--and decides to act on it? This true story is the catalyst for a move of God that is taking the high schools of America for Jesus. Brian Barcelona, a dynamic leader on the forefront of youth evangelism, recounts how he answered God's call on his life with dramatic and miraculous results. Just a few months out of high school, Brian obeyed God's directive to return to his alma mater and preach the gospel to the kids in the Bible club. Suddenly lives began to be changed. Hearts were saved. Numbers grew. Soon other schools joined in, sparking a youth revival in which thousands of teens are letting Jesus heal their lives. This remarkable story will inspire you to reach out to others, particularly young people, and believe that God will equip you for the call he gives you. Let your heart be energized through simple acts of obedience and watch as God does mighty things!

“What a gift Brian Barcelona has given us by sharing the profound stories of what God is doing on campuses. The Jesus Club will ignite within you a greater passion for Jesus and an unstoppable faith to see God move in the lives of students. Hearing the stories of what God has done and is doing in our day is critical if we are to move from just talking about revival to actually seeing a generation changed by the love and power of God.”
“Brian Barcelona is seeing America’s schools set ablaze with the Fire of God. What he teaches he has lived and continues to model. This book will provoke, challenge and inspire you. It will give you fresh faith to see the next generation won to Christ.”
“My senior year of high school I had no idea about who God was until I stepped into Laguna Creek High’s auditorium. That day I was introduced to Brian, and from there forward, his guidance helped mold me into the man I am today. Since knowing Brian I’ve built a strong relationship with God. I’ve slipped and fallen a thousand times and I will probably fall a thousand more, but now I know through my faith that you can always get back up. This book is powerful, and it can change your life in the way Brian changed mine.”
“I met Brian Barcelona during the summer of 2010. Brian was a very energetic, personable and sincere person, and I was immediately taken by his passion for helping high school kids. Over the following two years, Brian’s presence on campus had a positive impact on our students and staff. Brian’s deep faith and trust in God, combined with his taking time to listen to kids and meet them where they are in life, is why his clubs make a difference.”
“The Jesus Club chronicles the miracle journey of a movement that is significantly impacting the youth of California. Brian Barcelona writes with the passion of a man who has been encountered by Jesus and His heart for the lost. In this book are the seeds of campus revivals all over America.”
“Though young in years, Brian Barcelona reminds me of a modern-day David. Preaching in the high schools of America? That’s a crazy idea! Yet by taking simple steps of obedience, Brian walks through the spiritual strongholds and sees doors open where you would least expect them. Truly, with God, all things are possible. Let this book challenge you about what can happen when you put your hope and trust in Jesus and step out in faith just as Brian did.”
“What you are about to read can only be understood as storyline straight from the pen of the Author of our faith. For years at TheCall gatherings we have cried out for a young generation to encounter Jesus. I believe this is one dramatic answer to the cries of thousands. Brian Barcelona and a company of young students have believed for the impossible and dared to step into it. Read and watch hope explode in your soul. God’s not done with America!”
“God places favor on people’s lives for the task at hand. This favor has been placed on Brian Barcelona and the One Voice Student Missions team. I have been involved with and have seen Brian’s passion for students to know about Jesus! It is absolutely amazing what is happening in the high schools right now! If you ever have felt hopeless about our school system in America, this is a must-read!”
