Can 'Quote Jesus' help save newer generations?

'The Bible is a book of hope and this generation is missing out...'

Buses in the UK will soon be emblazoned with quotes from the Bible in what organizers call the "Quote Jesus" campaign.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - On the campaign's site, the group further explained: "Quote Jesus is a campaign to publicise the words of the Bible to this generation. The campaign aims to address the lack of hope that has clearly become an issue for many people.

"Through an advertising campaign this Easter, on buses throughout London and the South East, the campaign hopes to influence hearts, minds and perceptions, offering people a glimpse of hope and belief for a better future."

Howard Condor, the founder of Revelation TV and the creative mind behind Quote Jesus told Christian Today: "In the wake of the Westminster attacks it is clear that hope, or to be precise the lack of hope, is becoming an issue in this generation.

"We think the Bible has a lot [to] say about 'hope,' and our vision for this campaign is to influence the hearts, minds and perceptions of this generation, to offer them hope and faith for a better future."

Thinking back on his childhood, Condor explained: "It was second nature to attend church when I was growing up, but today how many people know that Jesus said, 'Do not worry for each day has enough worry of its own' or 'Come to me all that are weary and burdened and I will give you rest?'"

According to the Barna Group, only one-third of all American adults report they read the Bible once a week or more.

Currently, 49 percent of "Elders" read their Bibles while only 24 percent of Millennials read.

The trends over the past six years reveal fewer youths read the Bible or even know basic scriptures.

Condor stated, "The Bible is a book of hope and this generation is missing out because it has little knowledge of what the Bible has to say."

To help today's youths and to benefit all of mankind, Condor and his team are planning to expand Quote Jesus from the UK to the United States and other parts of the world as well.

Condor reported his past inspired Quote Jesus: "Growing up in the sixties and being involved in the music scene I was exposed to many influences, but the words of Jesus made sense and left the biggest impression. I want people to experience what I did and understand that there is hope, both for ourselves and for a better world."
