After 10 stops in 8 states plus 1 stop in New Brunswick, Canada, the Follow tour has come to an end.  We logged over 8,500 miles and clocked 960 hours as the invitation to Follow Jesus was given to over 6000 students. The Follow tour, which started back in April made its final two stops December 29-30 at the First Wesleyan Church in High Point, N.C. and simultaneously at the Skyline Church in San Diego, CA.

Taking a detour from the traditional way of holding the Regional Wesleyan Youth Conventions, the Wesleyan youth division took the conference on the road hosting the events in our churches and college campuses. This allowed us to cut the cost of registration, build relationships with the local church, raise up new leaders, and most importantly, reach more students.

God showed up in a mighty way and students responded. 510 students made first time decision to accept Christ as their savior. 1170 students re-dedicated their lives to him. 749 students answered God’s call into fulltime Christian ministry and over 2,500 students made commitments to “Follow” Jesus and serve him wherever he may lead.

While the Tour has come to a close the movement has just begun. The 2012 International Wesleyan Youth Convention has been set for Louisville, KY this coming December 28-31. Before the dust can settle from the tour, the international convention will continue with the same call to “Follow” Jesus. We believe that these students can shape the culture they live in. God can use them to bring the message of His hope and love to a desperately seeking generation. Follow 2012 will challenge them to do just that. Watch the Follow 2012 Promo Video.
