Forrest Frank Wraps Historic Tour: 'We're Here to Bring as Many People as We Can into Heaven'
Forrest Frank concluded his Jesus Generation Tour Saturday before a sold-out crowd at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, bringing the tour's total attendance to more than half a million fans across 29 cities and capping what promoters are calling the biggest Christian music tour in history.
Some 35,000 packed the home of the Texas Rangers to hear Frank perform hits such as "Your Way's Better" and "Up!" in an energetic show featuring dazzling lights and passionate worship. Frank toured with special guests Tori Kelly, Cory Asbury and The Figs.
The tour attracted 519,000 fans across all cities – and included the second-largest concert of any genre in the history of Louisville's KFC Yum! Center.
“God is just with us on this tour,” Frank said on Pastor JP Pokluda's "Become Something" podcast.
Pokluda is a pastor at Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, and served as an evangelist on part of the tour, traveling from city to city and sharing the gospel from the stage.
“We're here to do the work of the Lord and bring as many people as we can into heaven,” Frank added. “Make heaven crowded.”
Frank said he saw God at work throughout the tour, often in unexpected ways.
One such moment, captured in a viral social media video, occurred when a young girl was invited onstage to rap the song "God Is God." Before returning to her family, however, she surprised the audience by asking everyone to pray for her mother, who has breast cancer.
Frank said the request came during one of the concert's most high-energy moments, with no obvious moment to pause. At first, he wasn't sure how to respond.
“So I said, 'Stop the show' [and] went down and then we all just as – you know, 18,000 people – we all just prayed over her.”
Pokluda recounted the time he, Frank and the tour team visited a restaurant in San Francisco – a place with excellent food and a memorable atmosphere. The owner struck up a conversation with them, and they soon learned he was an avowed atheist. They invited him to the concert.
“He comes to the show by himself,” Pokluda said, “which you know – he had a million things he could do –and comes to the show, and as he's leaving, I'm talking to him, and I was just like, 'What do you think? He's like, 'I am so overwhelmed by y'all's kindness and hospitality.' … It was just so fun to walk him through the gospel, to talk about Jesus.”
Pokluda said the security and arena staff – men and women working every type of event – complimented the tour team, telling them, “This is so different than what we're used to.”
“It's a sober environment, which is unique for tour life,” Pokluda said.
“The Holy Spirit was moving.”
