The Church of Billings - A Story of Unity Through a Night of Worship | Documentary Film
A look into the history of the Billings Night of Worship -
"Billings Night of Worship has been a labor of love over the years with seeds planted and watered through the work of many! In 2015, Josh and Jenna Jones pulled together a group of believers who wanted to see God move in our city! With a few churches in support and a core team, they hosted 6 events over the next 3 years. With their family growing, in 2018 they felt it was time to put the event on hold. However the work they did was not in vain and was preparation for what was to come! We are forever thankful for the seeds they sowed in our city!
In 2020, Pastor Abe Madinger and Jennifer Swant teamed up to bring the event back. Abe had on his heart to see it launched again! His vision was to host it on the Rimrocks, a natural rock formation that runs the entire north side of Billings. This location is over looking Billings and required we bus everyone to the site. Knowing we had a big task at hand, Abe asked Josh and Jenna to join us. We worked together in what Jenna called the “Dream Team.” With Abe as the lead pastor, he was able to bring on 10 churches that first year and we had 2000 people in attendance on Sept 13, 2020. It was an epic evening and was amazing to stand as ONE BODY on the high point over looking the city and declare Jesus as Lord over the city! It was like a huge family reunion as people from churches all over the city gathered!
After that year and knowing how this event would grow, Abe asked Pastors Sean McFarlane and Jacob Schreiner to form an event board with the primary focus of fiscal accountability. By our 3rd year, the Jones felt called to step down and that opened the door for others to step in and help! For our 4th event in 2023, we had 17 sponsor churches!! We have had a variety of pastors help during the event with opening prayers, baptisms, ministry during an alter call and time of healing prayer! Seeing these pastors from a variety of denominations come together, standing side by side to worship and minister, is what makes this so special! We are so thankful for each pastor who has joined us. Our goal will continue to pursue more churches as our goal is that every church in our city would be standing with us in praising Jesus!"
****************************************************************************
Note from the Producer:
When I first heard of the Billings Night of Worship, I was encouraged to hear the body of Christ rallying to worship and reach the lost. It was some time later that I caught the fullness of the story behind the Billings Night of Worship, one in which was centered on a theme of unity within the church body.
What is Jesus able to do for a city when pastors decide to cross denominational lines to join together, pray, and reach the lost?
The Holy Spirit has been highlighting a string of unity for me to tug on within my recent projects. Once I unraveled this a bit and saw the beauty of the body of Christ coming together, I was compelled to tell their story so Kingdom workers would see what Jesus is doing in Billings, and cry out from their heart to see it happen in their body as well.

Asbury Outpouring - Prayer on the Lawn
มุมมอง 3.9Kปีที่แล้ว
"I saw 5000? 10,000? Thousands. Thousands of people kneeling in repentance prayer. What you see in the picture was preceded by scripture and a long "moment" of silent prayer that probably lasted 5-10 minutes. I was out on the lawn. Complete silence amongst thousands. (except for the sound of some weeping and the generators) Then there was a palpable shift in the air and this prayer began." -Wit...

    All the other students who didn't attend this worship, had exactly the same experience during a regular party, so those students who attend this worship, found their alternative way to party, that's all.

    I would like to share a deeply transformative experience that occurred after I had been away from church and faith for nearly twenty years. I was saved and baptized when I was 7 but that was a long time ago. I had stopped reading the Bible, praying or going to church for 20 years. So this was very unexpected for me. I had prayed for the first time in forever and asked God to intervene in my life and get my attention because I was spiritually dead. I had a house, a family and a business but there was something missing. So I was at my great aunt’s funeral, which was nearing its end, I was sitting quietly at the back of the congregation. As I was reflecting on my own absence from faith over the years, I was unexpectedly touched by the Holy Spirit in a manner I had never anticipated or believed possible. Suddenly, I felt a sensation like lightning striking my chest, followed by an overwhelming flood of divine unconditional love that surged through me. I can only describe it as liquid light, almost pouring over me like honey. Tears were pouring out of me like never before, feelings of pure peace and contentment and joy. It felt like my heart would explode from love if it kept growing in strength. This was so intense that my wife had to assist me to the bathroom because I was unable to feel my body and needed to completely surrender. If it had been a normal church service I would've been at the altar. Despite my concerns about how others might view me at the funeral, I could not resist the power of what was happening to me, I was receiving what some call the baptism of the Holy Spirit, others say he just refills you with his spirit and that you received the baptism at conversion. Either way, this was the work of God. Once in the bathroom, lying on the floor and fully surrendering to this experience, a vision began to unfold....I was enveloped by a brilliant, golden-white light, and I saw cathedral-like windows stretching endlessly upwards into the distance...the golden white light pouring into the room. Within this light, a throne appeared covered in jewels of all kinds. Nobody was sitting on it, as I remembered Jesus said no man had seen the father but him. And to the right of the throne was a lamb gazing at me. Above the throne, three golden crowns adorned with red jewels emerged, which I later was told by the Holy Spirit was the promises and inheritance God has made to me and my family. Our crowns of life. The next morning, the Holy Spirit instructed me to share my testimony with every church in my county. I have been following this guidance, speaking to a few people at times and, at other times, addressing entire congregations. I still feel his presence daily as there are times there is a warm fuzzy fire like sensation in my chest when I need soothing or directing. Jesus referred to this as the living water springing forth from within. I have learned to pay attention to this as often it's him getting my attention to something happening around me or guiding me. This experience has served as a profound reminder of God’s presence and promises, despite my long absence from church and scripture. I share this testimony to highlight the transformative power of divine love and grace and to affirm that even after a significant period away from faith, God's presence can reach us in the most unexpected and profound ways.

    In 2005, God called me to go to university, specifically the University of Derby, England, full-time and live on campus. I graduated in 2008, BA Hons History 2:1, aged 38. Now, in 2024, God has called me to go back and take a Master's and PhD in Early Medieval History with specific focus on the Capetian Dynasty, the Medieval Church in Europe, King Louis IX of France, the Centre-Periphery Model, Gothic architecture. At the centre will be my study and further interpretation of the Bible Moralisee Codex Vindobonensis 2554. I must finally say read Gerald B Guest's 'Bible Moralisee'. It will change your life.

    Mark Swayze, who lead worship a couple times during the Asbury Outpouring, just preached at the church camp I go to. It was super interesting to hear about what happened from someone who was there. When this was happening, I was struggling a lot with church hurt like the one described in the video, and to be honest, I was pretty angry at God, and I was angry at this outpouring. Since then, I have turned back to Jesus, and I love listening to stories from the people who led and witnessed it. So many people were wonderfully impacted by this revival, and it's amazing how it was led by a group of students only a couple years older than me. Two of my friends will be going to (other lol) Christian universities this fall, so please pray for them as they enter this new season 🙏.

May the true gospel of the cross become alive in the souls, hearts and minds of all who had put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ in this assembly. Nothing more, nothing less.
