Jesus People Movement
The Jesus People Movement with mass baptisms of hippies at Corona Del Mar was catalyzed by a hippie preacher named Lonnie Frisbee who allowed himself to be used by the Spirit in his day. He not only impacted the Jesus Movement, he also was catalytic in releasing the Holy Spirit for Calvary Chapel and the Vineyard Movement. This School of Revival 3-Day Intensive will primarily be looking at the impact that this controversial revivalist had and will seek to dismantle the cancel culture ideology by going in the opposite spirit and honoring those who came before us, even with all of their imperfections, celebrating the gold, and trusting that if God can use imperfect people, He can use you and me as well!
Join me, special guest Michael Ketterer, some of Lonnie’s personal friends, the School of Revival family, and fiery students from around the globe!
Books
The core reading for this intensive will be Lonnie Frisbee Book 1. The 2nd book on Lonnie in the series is optional.
In Book One, The Jesus Revolution, Lonnie opens up about his troubled childhood, the brokenness that marked his early life, and his experimentation with drugs and different forms of spirituality. After his radical conversion to Christianity in Tahquitz Canyon, Lonnie begins his groundbreaking ministry as an evangelist, culminating in the expansion of Calvary Chapel with Chuck Smith and the major cultural movement known as the Jesus People Revival of the early 1970s.
In Book Two, The Great Commission, Lonnie embarks on a mission trip to Central and South America, Israel, Europe, and Africa, experiencing a new level of the Holy Spirit’s power and anointing. In 1980, Lonnie dramatically shakes things up back home in America and helps ignite what is known today as the Vineyard movement. Through interviews with first-hand witnesses, close friends, and the words of Lonnie himself, readers can follow Lonnie around the world as he goes to the nations for Jesus.
