The History of Two Movements
One Voice Student Missions
In 2010 a public high school in northern California erupted in revival as the Jesus Club grew from 6 students to 600 in a month. That 1 school school turned into 6 campuses that were seeing a weekly Jesus Club with around 2000 total students gathering that had given their lives to Jesus. Healings, signs, and wonders broke out as a result of Jesus being preached. This was the birth of a new Jesus Movement in the high schools of America. What we saw then was only the beginning of what we are believing for now and in the future of campus missions. We know that what began in high school gyms will end in stadiums.
Student Volunteer Missions Movement
The Student Volunteer Missions Movement is another example of young people that saw the impossible with a simple YES to God. The Mount Hermon 100 were the first wave to seeing this movement erupt across America and into the nations. During a training time with D. L. Moody the students were gripped with faith. They coined the phrase, “the evangelization of the world in one generation!” A student stood up in the midst of that gathering and called out for volunteers to arise and take on the daunting task of reaching every nation, every people group, and every person with the gospel of Jesus. From that catalytic moment 100 students said yes to lay aside every desire, career or dream to reach the lost. Looking back, we know that this student movement is responsible for sending over 25,000 long term missionaries to the nations.
Today we believe that these 2 movements from 2 generations are now colliding. Once again a Millennial and Post Millennial Generation are saying yes to the task of taking the gospel to those in our generation. We know that through our simple YES tens of thousands of high schools students and high schools will see and hear the Good News.

FAQ’s
Q. What should I expect?
Each week will consist of training sessions, worship and prayer, outreach, and project hours. This Experience is different than attending a normal training program. One Voice Experience carries an intentional schedule that flows seamlessly with our established One Voice community. All of us throw in to serve and are flexible as needs arise. Our expectation is that during this 3 month experience you will set aside any extra-curricular activities and trips and engage wholeheartedly to seek God with the One Voice community here in Pasadena for the full experience.
