God's presence changes everything. This truth crystallized during our recent Revival Conference where we witnessed what happens when every distraction is stripped away to make room for divine encounter.
The journey began months before the event when we felt a clear directive from the Lord: remove the merchandise, simplify the marketing, and focus solely on His presence. What emerged was a conference atmosphere repeatedly described as "reverent" and "bathed in prayer." Attendees from 24 churches across five states experienced something rare—a tangible sense of God's holiness that was evident from the moment they entered the room.
What made this gathering extraordinary wasn't elaborate programming but authentic spiritual hunger. During Friday evening's message challenging believers to greater desperation for God, one man walked to the altar before the invitation was even given. This act of surrender—the fruit of years of faithful prayer from his wife—created holy momentum that swept through the room. As one attendee testified: "I didn't hear God speak anything specific, but I experienced the most peace I've ever had in my life."
The prayer panel featuring diverse perspectives on developing meaningful prayer lives became a catalyst for transformation. "That moment wrecked me in the best way," one participant shared, while couples reported receiving fresh fire to pray together and for their families. James Whitford's powerful testimony reminded everyone that revival begins with personal encounter.
Perhaps most encouraging was seeing pastors find rare space to receive ministry rather than always giving it. These spiritual leaders left refreshed and revived, ready to become "fire starters" in their own congregations—fulfilling Rise Up's mission to walk alongside churches rather than competing with them.
As we look toward future worship nights and ministry opportunities in 2026, we remain committed to creating environments where people encounter God's presence so powerfully that no one leaves the same as when they arrived. Will you join us in pursuing revival that begins with desperation for more of Him?
