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.’”
Me too. How I looked at that situation completely opposite of the way I should have. Big error on my part.
kayne west’s conversion is about like that of Elvis Presley back in the 70’s. presley brought a lot of white southerners back into the church. so will kayne west.
I disagree with what you said. Period. If God could save the Apostle Paul from killing Christians and others in much worse condition from the brinks of hell, surely He can save Kanye West.
Filthy lucre is what? It is a problem because Kanye has wealth? Step back a bit, this is God’s game.
I stole your meme.
:)
No man saves souls. Jesus did that. Kanye just spread His message.
Just like Trump was the right man at the right time, some think by divine intervention, so is Mr. West. All of this is a good thing.
Something big is happening. God is turning our nation back to him.
kayne west’s conversion is about like that of Elvis Presley back in the 70’s. presley brought a lot of white southerners back into the church. so will kayne west do the same thing for black southerners —and some whites too!
“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.” Philippians 1:18
Totally agree. And to those mocking him - who have you talked to about God recently (aside from those at church). Someone at the grocery store? At your favorite restaurant? At your child’s school? If not, why not? Don’t be so quick to knock what Kanye’s doing to get people to at least have a conversation about Jesus unless/until you are doing the same or more! You don’t know what’s in his heart and have NO RIGHT to judge him at this point.
You beat me to Philippians 1:18!
How do you know what he's doing with his money? He may be using it to support mission work or feed the hungry or helping to build new churchs. You're making assumptions. You have no knowledge w of what's in his heart. Is he supposed to consult you personally to get your permission or approval in this area? You sound just like the Pharisees of old! People MUST be the kind of Christian you approve of to be a true Christian. You're type of Christian drives more people away from Jesus than attracts them FOR Jesus!
Well, good luck to them, eh?
Cast not your pearls.
Maybe now, more than ever before, we’re going to witness a Spiritual Awakening the likes of which we’ve never seen. If ever there were a time, it’s now......:)
AMEN!
LET IT BE SO! The SECOND Great Awakening.

Praise the Lord!!
All Glory to Him.
Thanks for this info.
Noah was a drunk...and Lazarus was dead!
Great meme! Thanks, V K!
ALL: I googled & discovered it’s a poster, available in various styles.
Amen!!
That's worse than having a stutter, being a drunk, or just being too old.;-)
If God can use a dead man, he can truly use anyone.
He does work in ways unknown to mortal man. We’ve seen the proof! Rejoice in our good fortune. Rejoice in His Name!
