The Back Story of Future Conference:

At the beginning of 2022, my wife and I were praying and seeking guidance on what

the Lord wanted us to focus on this year. We both clearly felt like the Lord was calling us into 40 days of fasting starting June 14th and ending July 21st. Not fully understanding the mandate of this fast we pressed in and shared with our leaders.  From there, the Lord brought vision and clarity to the mandate. This was confirmed through various dreams from a few trusted leaders. We knew this wasn’t a coincidence.

The first dream began with Mando Matthews. In the dream, his assistant runs up to me and says, “You're one day late on your fast.” I then turn around and notice Lou walking out with two police officers. One of them comments as the other officer holds the door open and says, “I'm about to send you a message, and it's going to blow your mind.” Lou responds, “What's it about?” the officer responds, “It’s about the abortion issue in California”. I woke up from the dream knowing that one of the keys for us to focus on in these next 40 days was the abortion issue.

When I processed this with my wife, we felt like we were supposed to call the youth and young adults of California to fast with us for 40 days and that we were to start the fast in Sacramento. The next step for us was to start one-night gatherings throughout California leading up to our main gathering at Convergence Church in Fremont, California. On June 8th, I had a call with Lou Engle, and I told him the whole story, and he responded, “Job, It's interesting that you're calling and telling me this because I was asking the Lord if there is another 40-day fast for me?” Then he asked me, “Have I shared my previous dreams regarding Sacramento?" He proceeded to tell me about the dream he had with Bill at the Sacramento River.

Lou said, “In the dream, I was with Bill in Redding, and I asked him “where can I catch fish in the Sacramento River?” He said, “You can catch fish where the river turns red.” In the dream, I ran along the Sacramento River and saw that a significant part of the river had turned red, and there were fishermen all along the banks catching fish. I called the dream “The Redding of California.” It’s the sacrament. What if thousands would plead the covering of the blood over the abortions of this state for 40 days?

When I heard this dream from Lou, I knew this was our second key to the mandate in these 40 days. Lou said, “The only way to go after the abortion issue is to plead the better blood of Jesus Christ over the innocent bloodshed of babies.” He went over the storyline of the communion revival, on how he went to visit Benni Johnson and prayed for her healing and the mantle for the Great Communion Revival that is to come. This stirred a hunger in me because the night of June 8th, I was speaking over a group of young adults in Sacramento, and we called them to join the fast beginning June 14th for the ending of abortion and the Communion Revival. The Lord gave us insight on why we were to start in Sacramento that night. He said the move would begin in Sacramento and flow to the rest of California. That night, prayer erupted, and we began to ask the Lord for our state. This led us on a journey all across California, calling young people to fast for two things: the Communion Revival and the healing of Benni Johnson. There were 485 Gen Zers signed up to take communion and do a Daniel-type fast for the next 40 days and read “The Power of Communion '' by Benni. With the passing of Benni, the prayer was now to be given the mantle of Benni Johnson.

As we completed the 40-day fast, we believed in a powerful move of God in our state. We completed our fast at our main gathering in July in Fremont, California, where we gathered over 300 youth and young adults praying and believing for the Great Communion Revival.

In March of 2023,  One of our Leaders had a dream there was an outpouring happening in a service. There was a notification on his phone from info@2ndchapter.org, followed by an explosion of registration sign-ups for the next Future Conference gathering. The reasoning behind the sudden eruption of alerts was that there was an extension of the age group allowed to register beyond just “youth and young adults.” When we got this dream, we knew the Lord was speaking that Future Conference would not be just another gathering but a strike for California. The Lord told us that Future Conference is a Malachi 4:6 type of gathering: “he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers,” We’re contending for the future.
