In the 1980s the British Methodist Church
recognized their churches were failing in the command to live out the Great Commission.
They planned a renewal event under the direction of the Reverend
Rob Frost and called it Share Jesus. It was such a success
they realized it was not an “event”, but a new evangelistic perspective in the churches, and
other Share Jesus
Missions evolved in the years to
come.
By 1998 Share Jesus had found its way to Florida and caught the attention of a
number of people who were looking for new ways to do evangelistic outreach. In
1999 a
group of pastors and laity came together to found a new ministry called Celebrate
Jesus. Since then 19
Celebrate Jesus Missions have been held, involving 213 churches and over 2,000
volunteers.
