Revolution: derived from the Latin word “revolutio”, a turnaround; a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time.

October 2007 birthed one of the greatest revolutions that the world has yet to see. Maurice Hicks and Lisa Fields are two ordinary people that God used to birth an extraordinary movement. After witnessing to young people around the nation, Maurice and Lisa recognized that this generation possessed a hunger for the bread of life, but lacked the boldness to step out and witness to their peers. From this recognition came what is now growing to be the greatest witnessing tool that world will ever see. Determined to win back this generation, these two radical students decided to trademark the phrase “Without Jesus I Suck”. Without Jesus I Suck is more than just words on a shirt. It is a bold proclamation. A conversation starter. A radical, undisputable statement. A message that conveys Paul’s message in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes…” It forces those who wear it to be human billboards for Christ and to be unashamed of His message. It is our desire to help raise up a generation of young believers who live outside the box and are determined to take back what was once lost.

Without Jesus I Suck is changing lives around the world with a message that is simple and blunt. The word “suck” is nothing more than modern day vernacular meaning “nothing”. As it stated in Psalm 16:2 “I say to God, be my Lord, without you...nothing makes sense”. Without Jesus we can do nothing. For what are our good works, successes, and accomplishments without Christ? They all mean nothing; we must first receive Christ in order for our lives to count for anything.

Since the birth of WJIS the message has been featured on major networks and worn by gospel recording artists. Shirts have also been sold via the website all over the world. WJIS has also made major contributions to assist unfortunate children in South America.
