Why Participate in AWAKEN Medina County? The scriptures teach that there is a clear connection between faithful prayer and Spirit-filled revival and history reminds us that Spirit-filled revival nearly always begins when God’s people humble themselves through prayer and fasting. Our cultural moment illuminates the reality that our world needs a Spirit-filled awakening. We believe awakening starts with the church, and then spreads because we also believe that no person is beyond the reach of God’s transforming love.
Prayer and fasting options for kids, too!
