Singer Jimmy Johnson speaks about his journey from being homeless to becoming a worship leader for Red Rocks Church.
Imagine living in your car on the streets, being homeless as a teen while waiting to experience a breakthrough that only God can do. One worship leader has a testimony that shares just that.
Jimmy had just graduated high school and was living in his car. After a stranger had asked him what he wanted to do, that conversation motivated Jimmy to scrape enough money together to make it to Virginia where he was accepted into school at Liberty University. He felt this was a big step in faith. That first year he lived off student loans but deep down he knew he wasn’t fully depending on God to provide, and he was getting himself into thousands of dollars of debt. But he remembered his prayers and believing God was going to do something big while he was at the college.
While Jimmy was attending, he took advantage of trying out for an opportunity to be on the worship team on campus. Even though he didn’t know what would come from the tryouts, he felt God prompting him to try. Much to his humble surprise, he made it to the final rounds.
By stepping out in faith he applied his trust in God throughout the tryouts and what happened next was mind-blowing. Jimmy merely thought he was trying out to be on the worship team. But when he was offered a position on the worship team, he was also offered a scholarship that would pay for all of his college expenses and tuition!
God showed up in a big way and ensured Jimmy wouldn’t have to put himself in debt any further. He went on to graduate with a degree in music and is now a worship leader at Red Rocks Worship in Colorado.
