JLK Catalyst Burst

JUNE 7 & 8, JULY 23-25 and August 20 & 21

2024 Theme: God is a Consuming Fire – our choice is the fire refining us into permanency or will it be a totally consuming fire.

Jesus Loves Kzoo is a Kingdom movement, not an event.

THIS YEAR GOD IS MOVING US TO STEP UP THE REVIVAL WITH WORSHIP THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER and THE YEAR.

We will be hosting Catalyst Bursts and times to Worship in Parks throughout Kalamazoo and Portage in each month.  We are also looking to join up with churches in Kalamazoo and Portage to host monthly worship nights on the 3rd Sunday of the month.

Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:28-29

“The sinners in Zion said, “Who can escape the fire of God?”  The answer is no on can escape the fire of God.  it is everywhere.  You can’t escape it.  The question is what is it doing to you?  And it all depends on what you are.  If you are a child of God, the fire of God is transmitting and transforming you into permanency.  if you’re not, it’s a consuming fire that will one day totally consume you.” From Church Smith’s Commentary of Hebrews 12:28-29.

Just as a catalyst is defined as an agent that “provokes or speeds significant change or action”, we believe God will use the obedience of the Church coming together in our region as a CATALYST which will ignite something bigger than ourselves, paving the way for revival.

Catalyst Week Testimonies

In past years, Catalyst Week has sparked transformation in individual hearts and throughout the community.

Volunteer T-shirts and more…

All JLK Catalyst Week volunteers need a red shirt and we have a new, lighter-weight fabric this year! They help us identify and unify… plus they are a great witnessing tool!

CLICK ON THE SHIRTS BELOW to check out the T-shirts & other JLK gear!

New Tri-Blend JLK Shirt

We have changed our main volunteer shirts to this new lighter-weight tri-blend fabric! Sizes Adult XS-4XL

Note: Children’s sizes and 5XL are not available in the tri-blend, so if that is what you need, just order the original 100% cotton shirt (same color and design).

New Tri-Blend JLK Long-Sleeve Hooded Shirt

We have new lighter-weight tri-blend fabric long-sleeve hooded T-Shirts!

Sizes Adult XS-3XL

Original 100% Cotton JLK Shirt

The original JLK shirt still works and is available in toddler and youth sizes as well as Adult Small – 5XL

JLK Hats

Great to wear at any time, but especially helpful if you are serving in the food tent… wouldn’t you rather wear this cool hat instead of a hairnet?

Who can volunteer?

All individuals, churches and organizations who love Jesus and love Kalamazoo are welcome to serve as they are able.
