Marty Emmett is the Ohio State coordinator for Impact World Tours. Impact World Tours is a division of Youth With a Mission, one of the largest missions organizations in the entire world. Youth with a Mission has approximately 20,000 staff worldwide. 220 different ministries, and 800 operating locations in 180 nations of the world. We’re delighted that Impact World Tour and YWAM have agreed to partner with Reformation Ohio. In fact, they’re bringing a budget of $10 million to bear in the State of Ohio in the next four years. (applause) We’re glad to have a partner like that with Reformation Ohio! This will be the largest evangelistic campaign ever attempted in any state in the United States of America in our history, and you’re on the ground floor launch of it. Would you make Marty Emmett welcome! (applause, cheers, whistles)

MARTY EMMET:
It’s a great day to be alive, amen!

RESPONSE:
Yes!

It’s my privilege to be here today representing Youth With a Mission. YWAM Campaigns, our international director Mark Anderson. And firstly I just want to express my gratitude and thanks to you Pastor, and the board of Reformation Ohio. It’s an absolute privilege and honor for us to be invited to partner with this great initiative.

YWAM Campaigns has been used of God in over a thousand communities and 40 nations, and five continents in the last decade. And in that time we’ve been out to get before 3 million people with the relevant message of truth-- using forms of culture that are relevant to people today. But we are excited. We believe this is God’s time for America. (applause) Amen! (applause).

We’re excited for what the Lord wants us to do right there in the Buckeye State. And in partnership with you, the people of this state, with church leaders, business leaders, with civic leaders right across the state we’re committed to preaching the Gospel, getting over 1 million people in the next four years. Amen? (applause) We’re believing for 100,000 people to respond and give their lives to Jesus. (applause) We’ve seen ongoing movement, we’ve seen transformation and revelation right across, amen? (applause) In partnership with you we believe this will happen. We believe, a fire like many of you, is pivotal in this nation’s destiny, so we’re excited to be here. We endorse this. We’re committed to this. We prepared to (not understandable—perhaps “campaign”) for this state and you. Amen? (applause)
