Last July 2016 in Ilsan, South Korea, we witnessed a spiritual “UPRISING (United Prayer Rising)” where generations from across nations converged to fast, to pray, and to believe God for the reversal of the trends of attack s happening globally among the youth today, and to see the birthing of new, youth-led prayer and mission movements. On its last day, at the Nuri Peace Park, DMZ (the border between North and South Korea), the youth contended for the reunification of Korea, and we continue to witness today the hope o f it becoming so alive!
After the UPRISING in Korea, young people ha ve owned the vision, and have taken the zeal for united prayer to their res pective regions and nations. The “waves” have rolled out; there is now UPRI SING Philippines, UPRISING South Africa, UPRISING Mongolia, UPRISING Bolivi a, UPRISING Malaysia, UPRISING Europe, UPRISING Canada, UPRISING Chile, UPR ISING Mexico, and UPRISING California.
On January 23-26, 2019 in Jak arta, Indonesia, we are calling for another global UPRISING. But due to the sensitivity of the word “uprising,” this one will be called “WORLD GENERAT ION GATHERING: GLOBAL UPR.” The theme will be, “Receiving the Moravian Lamp stand: Prayer + Missions,” and we are envisioning to bring together a proje cted estimate of 4,000 youth and young adult leaders for a 3-day destiny-en gaging convergence which will be held at the ICC-MGK in North Jakarta, and an estimate of 10,000 for the Solemn Assembly which will be held at the Sta dium Area in Senayan.
Like the first global gathering in Korea, we b elieve that this will awaken the young “Davids” to fight against their gene ration’s “Goliaths,” and against the injustices in the nations. It will pro voke them to wake up and do something. And we believe that the greatest inj ustice today remains to be this: that JESUS is not worshipped in the nation s. We know that only Jesus can bring true justice. So, the UPRISING will no t just be a call for the youth to gather in prayer, but it will be a call t o battle from a place of extravagant worship and united prayer as we launch a global generation to a global harvest, all unto the hastening of the ret urn of the Desired of nations: Jesus Christ!
We will also be locking arms with Indonesia as she is being released to her destiny at this hour. We will join her in contending for the ancient doors to open up, as we beli eve that it will be the key for the other ancient gates in the nations to o pen too, toward taking the gospel back to Jerusalem, and preparing the chur ch to welcome the King of glory (Psalm 24:7-10)!
The Moravians once cried, “may the Lamb who was slain receive the due reward of His suffering. ” In the spirit of the Moravians, we long to see the Church prepared for Hi s coming again. It is our prayer that this gathering in Indonesia in Januar y will be catalytic in awakening a generation in the nations to have a deep longing for Jesus’ return, and thus, align their lives unto that.
G od is releasing a new wave of the Jesus Movement, of the Azusa Street Reviv al, of the Wales Revival, of the Moravian Revival on steroids… another grea t awakening is being sparked! This is the Psalm 24 generation that God has been waiting for. We hope you can join us in catalyzing these waves of yout h-led global prayer and mission movements at the UPRISING, and together, le t us labor for the Lamb to receive His inheritance in the nations.
