At 64 years old, I carry both the heart of a boomer and the hopes of a grandfather.
I want my grandchildren to grow up in a world of light, truth, and promise—
not a world clouded by darkness and fading hope.
I didn’t set out to build a venue.
I didn’t set out to build a movement or revival.
All I did was pray…
and make a promise to God if He answered this prayer
“Lord, if You help me get this property,
I will give it back to You
to serve Your Kingdom and Your people.”
At the time, I didn’t know what that would look like.
I only knew the land would be His, not mine —
mine only to care for and protect.
God answered that prayer in a way I can only describe as a miracle.
And out of that miracle came the vision to build Stage 316.
Stage 316 – The Altar God Had Me Build
For six years, God led me, step by step, board by board, nail by nail and prayer by prayer to build something I had never built before. No blueprints.
No building degree. Just a simple sketch…
a few wooden dowels pressed into Styrofoam…
and a vision from God that would not let me go.
From that vision came:
This place was never built to show off a structure.
It was built to lift up a Savior.
It bears the name of the most powerful message in all of Scripture:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,
so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”
— John 3:16 (NLT)
That’s why it’s called Stage 316.
Stage 316 is the ark God had me build.
But an ark needs a mission.
A stage needs a story.
An altar needs worship.
But now, after six years of construction, I find myself facing a new kind of problem. I often tell people that I’ve built a car I have no idea how to drive. The car has a destination… but the builder can’t drive it. And in many ways, that’s a metaphor for where I stand today—asking, “Lord, what do I do next?”
You see I grew up in a different era
Where Churches were fuller and Paper boys were seen - riding bicycles at 4 in the morning.
I know this because I was one of them.
Neighbors who knew each other’s names.
and Families were closer. Life was slower, simpler, more rooted.
Today, I know we all sense it:
The world we once knew—built on faith, family, truth, and dignity—
has been quietly slipping into darkness.
Something is wrong. Something has shifted. And far too many of us have stood in silence. But I hold onto a hope that is strong and unshakable—because our Lord and Savior has already given us this promise - in His Word - to remind us - that He has
not forgotten His people.
And in — 2 Chronicles 7:14 it says:
“If My people who are called by My name
will humble themselves and pray and seek My face
and turn from their wicked ways,
I will hear from heaven,
forgive their sin,
and heal their land.”
This promise is for us.
I asked God, “Lord, what can I do? I’m just one man.”
And then I saw it - He showed - once again, the largest stage in our nation shines brightly with celebration and sound, yet the name of Jesus is absent. On the biggest weekend of the year, a voice from another land and another language will be lifted high, while the God who gave us life itself - is left without a place.
In my heart, I heard something clear and simple:
“If they will not make room for Me there,
then My people will make room for Me elsewhere.”
That “elsewhere” became this calling, the revival that has arrived:
The Worship Bowl.
How Stage 316 and Worship Bowl Fit Together
Think of it this way:
Worship Bowl 2026 will:
In short:
Stage 316 is the altar.
Worship Bowl is the spark.
The summer concert series is the fire that keeps burning.
February 7th & replayed again on the 8th, 2026 — Two Nights of Worship
Worship Bowl 2026 will be held on:
I am not the only one—and I am not alone.
This moment in history is a wake-up call for God’s people.
There are 230 million Christians in America, and millions more across the world.
This isn’t a small movement—this is a sleeping army ready to rise.
I am a proud boomer, and a grandpa and I know my time here is short
compared to eternity…
but this calling is bigger than any generation.
It’s for every believer, every follower of Jesus who knows in their heart
that now is the time to stand, to give, to build, and to bring the light of Christ back into our world.
Our mission is simple—yet nothing short of world-changing.
We believe God is calling His people to rise together in
one unified moment of worship.
A moment big enough to shake the darkness.
A moment bold enough to be heard across generations.
A moment filled with hope, truth, testimony, and the power of Jesus Christ.
And to answer that call, here is what we are pursuing:
• To host Worship Bowl in a central venue large enough for
revival to echo across a nation.
Not just a stadium—but a sanctuary, where thousands gather with one voice to lift the name of Jesus higher than anything the world offers.
• To make Stage 316 the heart of the story God is writing—either as the main host or the visual altar that anchors this movement.
Stage 316 is not just a stage.
It is a testimony.
It is obedience made visible.
It is the symbol of a six-year miracle that now calls the world to worship.
• To livestream Worship Bowl across the earth—so revival isn’t limited by walls, money, distance, or location.
Every church.
Every home.
Every seeking heart.
Everyone, everywhere, invited into the presence of God at the exact same moment.
And if no large venue opens its doors…
Then we will do what the Church has always done:
we will gather anyway.
We will open every church, every living room, every willing space and
turn it into a Worship Bowl altar.
Because revival does not wait for permission.
And God does not need a stadium to move.
Churches across America can sign up to host Worship Bowl watch-parties, worship nights, baptisms, and prayer times, connected through the live stream.
Because churches already have everything that is needed:
Whether it’s:
Hundreds, even thousands of churches saying “We’ll host Worship Bowl here”
This is bigger than an event.
This is a calling.
This is a wake-up moment for the Body of Christ.
And we need you.
Your prayers, your support, your gifts, your talents.
They are part of the story God is writing.
Together, we are building something the world has never seen before:
A nationwide, worldwide chorus declaring that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Worship Bowl 2026 will happen.
Why We Need Help Now
To make Worship Bowl 2026 and the Stage 316 summer series possible,
there are things we cannot delay:
We need to:
That is why donations and corporate sponsorships are needed now—not later.
A Simple, Powerful Way to Join In
We are asking for:
💵 Donations
A gift of $3.16—or more as the Lord leads—
symbolizes John 3:16 and helps fund:
This is not equal giving, but equal surrender.
Jesus honored a poor widow who gave only two small coins—
not because of the amount, but because of her heart.
So whether it’s $3.16 or much more—if it’s given in faith, He sees it.
🎵 Artists & Worship Leaders
If God has given you a song, a musical gift, a testimony, or a heart for worship—
Worship Bowl and Stage 316 are places to pour that gift out for Him.
We need:
Your gift is not just for a stage.
It is for the world God loves.
