Real Summer of Love

About Me

This summer is the 40th anniversary of the infamous San Francisco Summer of Love: the launching point of a youth uprising that unleashed a tidal wave of drugs, immorality, eastern mysticism, and the rejection of authority that has altered the very fabric of Western culture to this day. Right in the midst of all this, God began to move and bring awesome revival than has become known as the Jesus Movement. This revival has impacted the believing community around the world in a deep and lasting way. Most of us are either a direct product of the Jesus Movement, or have been significantly affected by it in one way or another. This summer thousands of believers from around the nation are coming to San Francisco to mark this anniversary with a season of prayer and outreach called the Real Summer of Love.

He and his wife, Denise, have one daughter, Sophia.Jill Austin Jill Austin, working as an award-winning professional potter, founded Master Potter Ministries over twenty-five years ago.

Combining music, drama and art, she brought the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost, as well as deep healing to the broken-hearted.What began as a performing arts ministry quickly changed as the Manifest Presence of Holy Spirit began to move powerfully in her meetings, bringing renewal and awakening destiny to individuals and churches. God used these years to form this accomplished potter into a fiery preacher and one of the nation's most powerful prophetic voices.The Lord has given Jill a catalytic and prophetic anointing to break open the heavens and release the fire of the Holy Spirit.

He also places great emphasis on the practical preaching and teaching of God's Word, bringing a great balance between authentic, supernatural encounter and solid Biblical truth.Matt was touched by the power of God at the age of fourteen. After witnessing the supernatural healing of his mother, he came into his own personal encounter with the Lord and was radically saved and filled with the Holy Spirit.

They have written numerous songs that have become favorites in churches worldwide.

It has a very creative and modern sound while never losing its worship soul.Sean Feucht Sean Feucht is one who has gone beyond living it; he has been completely consumed by the heart of God, and it has ignited deep within him the unquenchable desires of a forerunner: to bring the kingdom of God to the nations, and to worship Him in spirit and in truth. Like the mentors and influencers in his life, including world-renowned artists and worshippers Kevin Prosch, Jason Upton, Adam Cates, Keith Luker, Don Potter, and Ray Hughes, God has placed on Sean a Davidic, psalmist anointing that beckons the Spirit of God to come and releases Him to move in impacting, life-changing power and glory.Sean’s newest release entitled “Waiting” is the first live “soaking” album out of three he’s recorded. The beautiful songs of worship and the warm sounds of the acoustic piano, acoustic guitar and violin, create an intimate atmosphere that beckons you straight into the throne room of God. Sean is releasing two more live albums later this year entitled "Awaken Love" and "Waiting still."Sean and his beautiful bride Kate are the founders and directors of BURN 24-7: powerful, prolonged experiences of worshipping the Father and intercession for the nations.

Sounds Like: This summer in San Francisco, we enjoyed the most powerful series of gatherings I have experienced in 30 years of ministry. We had powerful sessions of worship and prayer, equipping and empowerment, and outreach and ministry over the course of six weeks. Thousands of believers from around the Bay Area and around the world joined us as we labored together for a spiritual breakthrough that would transform our city and impact the world.The Real Summer of Love (RSOL) marked the fortieth anniversary of the summer of 1967, a pivotal moment in our culture both for good and for harm. That year tens of thousands of young people came to our city to “tune in, turn on and drop out”, and the hippie movement was born. On the heels of this movement, God poured out his Spirit and tens of thousands came to Christ. This revival became known at the Jesus Movement. Our goal in RSOL was to pray against the negative influences that were unleashed in our culture over the last 40 years and to pray for a New Jesus Movement to come to the world.The following report is a brief summary of the amazing things God did during this season of Intercession and Outreach. We invite you to continue to join with us in prayer and preparation for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our land.THE INTERNSHIP – July 17-August 12 At the heart of the Real Summer of Love was the RSOL Internship that consisted of 17 young leaders from around the world combined with 10 team members from the Justice House of Prayer (JHOP). The women lived in the JHOP house on Haight Street and the men camped in the Promised Land church building. The first ten days of the internship were spent in intensive training with teaching from Jesse Engle, Jason Westerfield, Erica Greve and others. There were also powerful sessions of worship and intercession as we cried out for the power of God to visit our city in a new way. The interns became the core leaders of RSOL for next several weeks and each one of them left a lasting deposit in our city for the coming revival.DNA OF REVIVAL PRAYER CONFERENCE – LOU ENGLE – July 27-29 The first major event of RSOL was the DNA conference with Lou Engle. Lou is the director of THE CALL and had just come from the Nashville Call with over 70,000 mostly young intercessors crying out for revival in our nation. Lou was absolutely on fire! He brought a powerful message about the power of fasting and prayer to bring about transformation. Lou was joined by Banning Leibscher, from Bethel Church, in Redding. Banning is also the director of Campus Awakening and the Jesus Culture Conferences. Lou and Banning laid a powerful foundation of prayer for RSOL. We are grateful for their participation. We also held our first major outreach that Saturday July 28th at Dolores Park.FIFTY-HOUR PRAYER TENT IN JUSTIN HERMAN PLAZA – August 3-5The next weekend, Evan Prosser, pastor of the Homeless Church, in partnership with the San Francisco House of Prayer set up a prayer revival tent at the foot of Market Street on Friday, August 3rd that hosted prayer and outreach in the public square for over fifty hours. A dozen churches and ministries took three-hour prayer watches and hundreds gathered for prayer throughout the weekend. Hundreds heard the gospel and many came to Christ. Praise God!In addition to an outreach concert with Sean Feucht at Embarcadero Plaza, we also had a great outreach at Union Square, led by SOS Ministries and a a powerful African-american church from Richmond Ca. At both events, our Interns were released to give prophetic words of knowledge from the stage to people in the audience. Each word was given with tremendous accuracy and opened the door for the Gospel to have a deeper impact on these individual’s lives. God moved in an awesome way. On Saturday Evening, we were joined by Beni Johnson, wife of Bill Johnson from Bethel Church in Redding. She brought a powerful message on the supernatural power of prayer and intimacy with Jesus. Thanks Beni!!!THE RED RIDERS – August 5-12The Call in Nashville was the launching point for a mobile team of 250 worshippers, intercessors and evangelists called the Red Riders, a ministry of The Cause USA. This amazing team of revivalists landed in San Francisco on August 5th and provided a strong base of workers and worship leaders for the key week of RSOL. The Red Riders were joined by worship leaders such as Ray Hughes and the Selah Ministries band, Leonard Jones, John Mark McMillan and Mark Mathis. On Tuesday, we formed 18 acoustic worship teams and spread out throughout the city to bring a New Sound of worship in the city. On Wednesday, we did a street concert in Berkeley and an intercessory drum circle on UC Campus. We also sent out prophetic evangelism teams throughout the city. We are grateful to SOS ministries for setting up additional outreach opportunities in Washington Square and other parks around the city. We thank God for his presence and power touching hearts in all the various outreaches of RSOL.JESUS MOVEMENT NOW: INTERGENERATIONAL SUMMIT – August 8-10The purpose of this Summit was to explore ways of passing the torch of leadership to the emerging generation. In the final words of the Old Testament, God promises to turn the hearts of the Fathers to the Sons and visa versa. This JMN Conference is a forum for intergenerational reconciliation and partnership. Each session had older key leaders from the Jesus Movement with younger emerging leaders for a series of short presentations on such topics as the future of prophetic ministry, missions, evangelism, discipleship, and church life. All sessions were co-moderated by Michael Brodeur, Richard Paradise and Gary Goodell. We intend to publish a full report of each session on our web site soon.Wednesday Evening, Aug 8: JMN: Evangelism: Reaching the Coming Harvest Panel 1: Arthur Blessitt, Chinua Ford, Larry Rosenbaum, Trevor McPhereson, Cindy McGill and Claire Howard, Matt SorgerThursday Morning, Aug 9: JMN: Pastoring the Coming Harvest Panel 2: Gary Goodell, Jay Grant, Leroy Johnson, Phil Busby, Che Ahn, Chuck Girard, Matt Sorger.Thursday Afternoon, Aug 9: JMN: Creative Renaissance and the Harvest.

Under the leadership of Arthur Blessitt and Michael Dowling of SFHOP the group made its way through the Panhandle of Golden Gate Park to join the RSOL Convergence in Sharon Meadows and Hippie Hill, the site of many of the gatherings in the summer of 1967. The Red Riders had arrived early to set up a massive sound system on a flatbed truck that turned into a beautiful stage. Around 3000 people gathered throughout the day, worshipping and praying for the coming harvest and revival. Chuck Mervin, the director of Red Riders was joined by Michael Brodeur, Shawn Bolz, David Herzog, Jesse Engle and others who led specific prayer initiatives during the day. Many individuals shared the Gospel with people gathered in the Meadow. God moved in a powerful way in the lives of many. One of the final prayer initiatives were led by Jesse and the new SF JHOP leader Roger Joyner when dozens of pastors and leaders from the region were invited on stage to make an intergenerational covenant for revival in our land. The commitment from the younger leaders to partner with the older ones was amazingly moving and brought pleasure to the heart of God.The RSOL Outreach continued for the next week led by SOS Ministries led by Larry Rosenbaum. SOS is a ministry that I helped start 28 years ago and has been bringing the Gospel to the streets of San Francisco and Berkeley since that time. Throughout the years, SOS has been a powerful force for the Kingdom of God. SOS also helped the RSOL effort by securing outdoor assembly permits and setting up sound systems for many outreaches.BEYOND SUMMER OF LOVE: CINDY JACOBS – August 31-September 2As Cindy was preparing to visit the Bay Area, the Lord impressed her heart to focus on recovering the redemptive gifts of our region. Our first gathering was with about 50 pastors and ministry leaders from the area. Cindy led an awesome discussion of the history of God’s purposes in our region. Pastors and leaders of many diverse denominations and ethnicities shared stories of God’s glory throughout the years. Mike Jacobs was strongly impressed that the Bay Area was a womb for the purposes of God. This served as a prophetic theme for the next few days, as we recognized how many people movements have come from this region and how God’s plan is to reclaim that redemptive gift for the Kingdom of Heaven. Cindy ministered in prophetic power both evenings of the conference. Many personal words were given and many words of encouragement were given to the Body of Christ in the San Francisco Bay Area. Special thanks to Katy Wade and the Shiloh worship team, and Brian Johnson and the worship team from Bethel Church in Redding CA.The weekend continued with a powerful outreach to the Secular Summer of Love Celebration. Sixty thousand people filled Speedway Meadows to hear the vestiges of the sixties sound. Although the concert was flat, the prayer tent was booming. Around thirty people led by the San Francisco House of Prayer ministered to about a thousand people throughout the day through personal witness, dream interpretation and “destiny readings”. Eight people gave their lives to Jesus and two people were dramatically healed. What a glorious day…The weekend concluded with a packed auditorium on UC Berkeley Campus where Kim Walker led worship and Cindy Jacobs shared a powerful message on loving the Lord with our minds by rejecting secular humanism and embracing biblical thinking. It was off the charts. Finally, after Cindy was done, Sean Feucht, Keith Lukker and Caleb Klinge, led a 24 hour prayer meeting called Burn 24/7 on University Ave. in Berkeley. A dozen churches helped carry the torch of prayer one more lap around the track. What a wonderful climax to an amazing season.What Next? We are continuing to press for revival in the Bay Area. Justice House of Prayer is hosting a three month internship with a new crew of intercessors. San Francisco House of Prayer continues to lead prayer sixty hours a week. There are many outreaches planned for the next few months. One in particular is the Blue Grass Festival outreach. Ray Hughes and the Selah Ministries worship team is returning in November for a full worship training school. Keep checking our web site for upcoming events.We thankfully acknowledge Living Stones Foundation, who’s generous grant made RSOL possible. We thank you as well for supporting the Real Summer of Love with your prayer, your giving and your participation. I look forward to working together with you to see God’s kingdom come and His will be done in our region as it is in heaven.
