Nasser al’Qahtani spent the first twenty years of his life following Islam, but in August of 1996, after two years of prayer from thousands of Christians, the Lord God gave him a vision of Christ crucified that broke his heart and changed his life.

Ever since that day, he’s been following Jesus all over the world, making disciples by immersing them in the character and nature of the triune God of the Bible through teaching, preaching and, most importantly, modeling this new Spirit-filled life we have been given in Yeshua (Jesus), our Messiah and Savior.

Forerunners’ founder, Dave Warn, felt a burden for America shortly after coming to faith in Christ as a college student in 1983. But it was in July 2011, while at a prayer retreat, that his burden went much deeper. During this getaway, the Lord touched Dave in a life-changing way, impressing upon him that our nation had “crossed a line,” meaning that national judgment and a national humbling would likely come upon America.

While still processing these sobering possibilities, God stirred Dave with the hope that He would move powerfully again and potentially reap a massive harvest in America—meaning that people would turn to the Lord on a scale we may have never before seen. Capturing both the ideas of a coming national shaking and an extensive spiritual awakening—Forerunners of America was launched on September 4, 2014 with the heartbeat of warning the nation and of helping people respond in faith.
