There is some spiritual energy starting to build in the youth of our rural communities.
In October of 2015, the movie “Woodlawn” was release and it is based on a true story about a school that was transformed through a move of God in the youth on the football team.
The transformation then moved to another school in town and eventually it impacted the entire community of Birmingham, Alabama, because of what was happening in the lives of these teenagers. It is a powerful movie that gives us a glimpse of how God has moved in and through teenagers to transform communities.

The Reach Out group grew to the point that Randy and LeAnn were hosting around 75 teenagers in their home every week, which is pretty significant in a community of approximately 3,200 people at that time. In the Woodlawn movie, they reference the Explo ‘72 event that took place in Dallas. A group of young adults from Stockton, Kansas (a town of approximately 1,800 people 20 miles south of Phillipsburg) went to that event and came back “on fire” for God. ...
