The 7 Mountains
There are 7 Mountains of Influence in Culture. In 1975, Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, and Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With a Mission,had lunch together in Colorado. God simultaneously gave each of them a message to give to the other. That message was that if we are to impact any nation for Jesus Christ, then we would have to affect the seven Mountains of society that are the pillars of any society. These seven mountains are business, government, media, arts and entertainment, education, the family and religion. About a month later the Lord showed Francis Schaeffer the same thing. God is calling men and women today to realize that we must begin to focus our gifts and talents to affect these seven mountains of society if we expect to regain the foundations that have made our nation great.
