Why Does This Fiery Charismatic Preacher Attract so Many Millennials to His Church?

Journey Church Orlando Pastor J.J. Vasquez

At first glance, there’s nothing out of the ordinary that would lead you to believe J.J. Vasquez is a fiery charismatic preacher who will have you laughing with one sentence and filled with conviction the next.

The Spirit-filled pastor of Journey Church Orlando has a congregation full of Millennials and members of generation Z. That’s what caught the attention of the Orlando Sentinel, the leading newspaper in central Florida. The catch? The church is just a few years old.

Though Vasquez wasn’t always a pastor, he has walked with the Lord for years. He was raised Spanish Pentecostal in New York. He attended Southeastern University.

And though his father was also a pastor, Vasquez says he had to reach his own “Jacob” moment where he wrestled with God and came to know the Lord in a new and intimate way.

Now, Vasquez shares his testimony, how he lost a son shortly after birth and how He found a sweet new connection with Jesus through intercession.

Listen for the story.
