Are you longing to be revived? To have your faith renewed? To see your neighborhood awakened to new possibilities? What would it mean to get swept up in a movement of God\u2019s re-creation\u2026that\u2019s already happening around you?<\/p>\n

We need a revival, but what does that mean?<\/p>\n

I want a revival, a strengthening and improving of the Christian faith community that is inclusive and innovative and authentic. I want a revival that helps make Christ popular again, active again, important again in peoples\u2019 lives and in our world. And I want a revival that presents the Good News of Jesus Christ in ways that can be heard and understood by people that cannot hear or understand what we have been saying and doing in the past.<\/em><\/p>\n

To be revived is to be resuscitated, to wake up. A revival is a way to wake ourselves up and to resuscitate the Christian faith. Not by resurrecting the past but by moving into the future with innovation and inclusivity sharing<\/em>the love of God and Christ without stipulation or restriction. That\u2019s what a revival is to me.<\/em><\/p>\n
