Jesus People Movement Moves Through California Youth
A youth revival known as the Jesus Movement has drawn thousands of California youths away from drugs and the hippie scene. Led by Bible scholars and street evangelists, groups like Children of God operate from skid row missions and Los Angeles churches with no central headquarters. Pederson's Hollywood Free Paper promotes Jesus Teach-Ins and center training, while recruits like Bob McDonald describe a journey from drug use to faith and street outreach.
