Billion Soul Harvest

The Billion Soul Harvest represents the emergence of a global movement within the Christian church to win a billion souls for Christ.[1][2]

At least two global leadership networks have been formed to support the movement: Global Pastors Network formed in 2003, with 800,000 members,[3] and Billion Soul Network formed in 2007,[4] with a membership of 475,000 churches worldwide.[5]

Former NYC Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, has been a conference speaker and proponent of the movement.[6][7][8]

Driving forces propelling the movement forward include conferences,[9][10][11] books[12][13] and significant prayer initiatives.[14]

Over two hundred church denominations now participate in the movement.[15]

The emergence of the movement was influenced by Bob Jones, after he reported a supernatural encounter with God in 1975 where he was told to "Prepare the people, for I am going to bring a billion souls in one great harvest".[16]
