A genuine spiritual outpouring is happening among Gen Z this summer as thousands are hearing the gospel message, making professions of faith in Jesus Christ and answering the call to ministry.
Clayton King, pastor and founder of Crossroads Camp in Anderson, South Carolina, told CBN News he “has personally seen more than 2,000 students give their lives to Jesus this summer.”

He shared a video of their response to the Gospel message, saying, “I watched hundreds & hundreds of students repent and respond to the gospel. The tide is shifting. An AWAKENING is happening.”
Earlier this month, he saw more than 1,000 students worshipping and praising the name of Jesus.

“This generation amazes me. They engage the scripture. They crave the truth. They respond to the Holy Spirit. And they celebrate the gospel,” he shared in a social media post.
King began the Crossroads summer camps in 1996, and this year the ministry celebrates 30 years of preaching the Gospel and discipling believers.
“We as a ministry are super focused on presenting the Gospel in a clear way and are actually telling kids how to get saved,” he said in a 2023 interview. “We not only preach the Gospel in clear and fun ways because it’s camp and kids are supposed to have fun…but we are also focused on giving clear Gospel invitations, just like Billy Graham.”
