In 1996, Johannes Amritzer and wife Maria traveled through the jungles of Kenya to preach the Gospel to the the Maasai people and other tribes. That became the first of many festivals.

“I was called as an evangelist in the end times to preach the Gospel to unreached people groups, to help bring restoration of the Book of Acts in my generation, and to see the early church being geographically reestablished.” - Johannes Amritzer

What Johannes and Maria started grew like wildfire. They were pioneering a movement that reached across Europe and were preaching the Gospel to unreached tribes in South America, Southeast Asia, India, and many countries on the continent of Africa. They would do whatever needed to be done to see a festival happen. They sold their belongings to generate finances; they preached from platforms that were wooden tables tied together with rope. There were many obstacles to overcome on their journey, but one thing was certain: Signs, wonders, and miracles followed them wherever they went.
