History
The founding director of Fulfillment Fest is Neil Blake Jr., a born again family and business man whom God apprehended in 1985 with His heart for oneness in the church, calling him to serve the needs of the body of Christ in practical ways. In obedience, Neil started One in Christ Ministries. As he sought to build bridges between denominations, he was burdened to reconnect the church with her Hebraic roots and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6-9).
In 2006, taking inspiration from the biblical Feasts of the Lord, he gathered a team of young people to organize the first Fulfillment Fest in Moravian Falls, NC. People from all over the world came to celebrate the fall festivals (Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles) held under a 5000 person tent. This was an interactive event where prayer rooms, a creative art room, and themed prayer walks were provided to facilitate personal and intimate fellowship with Jesus. Over 80 speakers and many worship bands were brought in. The purpose was to “meet the Holy Spirit and to gain the Lord’s heart for Israel and her people.” Neil’s vision was to eventually bring this tent to Jerusalem and hold a Fulfillment Fest in the city God has chosen to bear His Name.
Acting on this vision, Neil made 5 trips to Israel, and following God’s instruction to approach the government of Israel, he found great favor with them and was invited to organize an annual christian music festival that will take place during Pentecost! Now, we are inviting you to join us on May 29, in Jerusalem as we pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit this Pentecost, 2008.
