Awakenings is a youth led, multi-generational prayer movement that encourages and engages youth to seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit in their lives, churches and community.

OBJECTIVES

Create an opportunity and atmosphere for youth to seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit

Unify in prayer for the fulfillment of God’s purpose in the lives of our youth (Eph. 4:13)

Train youth leaders, youth and young adults how to sustain a prayer movement in each local youth group

Inspire our youth and young adults to “pray without ceasing.” (Eph. 6:18; 1 Thess. 5:17)

STRATEGY
The Awakenings strategy consists of the following components:

1. Local/District/State/Regional Awakenings. State/Regional/District directors would organize youth groups in their area at least twice a year for concerted prayer. These concerts of prayer would include youth, parents/caregivers, pastors and leaders.

2. International Prayer Network. A 24-hour prayer chain consisting of youth and parents around the world.

3. Participation in various teen prayer movements (e.g., See You at the Pole, Pray 21)
