After a last-minute announcement on Friday, thousands of people gathered to worship with Kanye West in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
With no stage, lights, or fancy audio equipment, Jonathan Stockstill, the pastor of Bethany Church, introduced the rapper to the crowd.
“Can we hear it for Jesus?” Stockstill asked. “He is king tonight.”
West, standing between wooden crosses, opened with “Closed on Sunday,” with his daughter North sitting on top of his shoulders.
“You my Chick-Fil-A,” West rapped. “Hold the selfies. Put the ’gram away. Get your family. Y’all hold hands and pray. … Raise our sons. Train them in the faith, through temptations. Make sure they’re wide awake. Follow Jesus. Listen and obey.”
Curvine Brewington, a musician and pastor at Crossroads Church in Lafayette, Louisana, attended the event and took to Instagram to point out the spiritual change he saw first hand in West.
“If you’ve ever doubted the legitimacy or spiritual impact of this #sundayservice project, simply look at this incredible shot taken by @rebeccabradley__ during the altar call,” sharing a photo that showcased a large crowd with their hands in the air.
“YES, I said ALTAR CALL,” he added.
Thousands lifted their hands in worship, Christ’s name was lifted, and powerful prayers were said, Brewington shared.
“Tonight, worship was lifted, the name of Christ was exalted, the Word of God was preached, a multitude prayed together, the Gospel was clearly proclaimed, and an opportunity to respond was given,” Brewington wrote. “In a crowd of 6,000 people from all walks of life, all ages, and all races, I personally witnessed over 1,000 individuals accept Jesus as their Lord & Savior!”
He added that while many are doubting the rapper in his newfound faith, “the Spirit of the Living God was indeed present.”
“I danced, wept, stood in awe of God’s redemptive work, & can honestly say that tonight I witnessed a new wave of REVIVAL first hand,” Brewington concluded.
“Incredible night,” the musician added to an Instagram story. “Such an honor to witness what God is doing firsthand.”
Brewington’s wife also added a photo to Instagram, writing, “This man met JESUS and He changed everything, and now he is telling everyone!”
I’m excited that he’s here,” Sierra Scoggins, an elementary school teacher in Baton Rouge said according to The Advocate. “It’s really good for the Baton Rouge community to be here and lift up Jesus’ name.”
“He has always lifted up God’s name,” she added. “I’m excited that he’s reaching a multitude of people.”
Frank Manguno, a salesman from the area, told The Advocate that he only recently became a fan after West’s transformation.
“I was interested because he said he was going go completely Christian,” Manguno said. “I was, like, ‘Well, this is crazy. Let me see about this.’”
Becoming a father and having children changes your view in this world
There’s an old joke what do you call a communist in Berkeley with two kids?
Answer: a Republican.
Who would have thought, back in 2005, when Kanye excoriated Bush over Hurricane Katrina, that in 14 years my perceptions of these two men would be SO reversed.
It is uncanny.
This is so wonderful! Mr. West leading black Christians in revival and repudiation of the horrendous black urban culture. God bless him and his family!
Many of us are thankful that Kanye is reaching a multitude of people. May the Holy Spirit surround Kanye and give him strength and wisdom.
This is amazing and encouraging. Many of us have been praying for a spiritual renewal in America. Maybe this is the beginning of a great, universal revival!
Which reminds me; where exactly do Jackson and Sharpton preach? Where are their churches?
And Epstein didn't kill himself.
God does not rest nor does he sleep.
Prayers for Kanye and other Christians to keep strong in the faith. This world is so full of temptations and lies.
God does not rest nor does he sleep.
Jesus said “No man comes to the Father, lest the Spirit draws him”.
Paul said in Philippians 1:16 “8 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.”
I believe Kanye’s relationship is real, based on what he’s saying and doing and proclaiming - God is working in him. Let’s pray he grows stronger and the fruit of the Gospel falls on 100-fold fertile soil.
They say Kanye’s batty - screw loose. I say let them mock.
1 Corinthians 1:
26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”
Praise God.
Wow! Thank you Lord!
Amen! May the Good Lord give His Guardian Angels watch over Kanye and his beautiful family. Kanye needs all our prayers. The Evil One rages around, seeking whom he may devour.
Lord, watch over your faithful servant Kanye and his family. Defend him in the battle.St. Michael, be his safeguard against the wickedness and the snares of Satan.
If it helps America, I’m all for it. Johnny Cash and Billy Graham were a great team too.
Please Dear Lord protect all those fighting back against Evil.
Remarkable! One of Christ’s new disciples preparing for REVIVAL across this nation?
Who were the first 12 disciples?

Thanks for posting CP
PING!
Thousands Gave Their Lives to Christ at Kanye West’s Latest ‘Sunday Service’ in Baton Rouge
JESUS CHRIST, we stand with HIM.
Kanye’s wife and children were baptized in October in the Armenian Apostolic Church.
I love that piece of Scripture! It has come true time and again. Just think of Moses, who couldn’t even speak correctly. He stuttered and stammered, yet God chose him to lead the Jews out of slavery to the promised land. May God bless Kanye the same way, and give him the ability to lead not only his own people, but all people to Christ.
Je$$e and $harpton were only interested in cold hard ca$h.
