Joining the prayer and mission movements as one expression is at the heart of our vision

What is the vision?

Our mission exists to bring the world an encounter with God. We aim to do this by gathering around God's presence and empowering leaders to be sent out to redeem people and culture into the image of Jesus. Our mandate is to see the Gospel reach communities around the globe. We are ready to do whatever it takes to bring to Jesus the reward of His suffering and to prepare a generation for His appearing.

How will you get there?

Awakened Generation aims to bring transformation to communities by empowering individuals through a Gospel-centric approach, enabling them to be agents of redemptive transformation in others' lives. We achieve this by centering our mission around God through worship and prayer, biblical teaching, caring for orphans, facilitating schools and camps for children and young adults, organizing evangelistic outreaches and international missions trips, and offering personal mentorship.

Our Core Values

These core values form the foundation of our culture and serve as a compass for our future. They define who we are, what we stand for, and how we interact with one another in our community.

First Commandment First: Love God
We were created to know God and to love Him. It is possible to know God because He reveals Himself to us. To truly know Him, we must encounter Jesus. Our faith is not just a statement of belief; it is a response to the revelation of Jesus Christ. Our relationship with God is established through communion with His Spirit and the depths of His given Word. He promised the Spirit would teach us all things, and this is exactly what we need. In concise terms, we are committed to him even more than to our missionary endeavors. For this reason, adoration, prayer, and rhythms of devotion to God lie at the heart of our community.

All Ministry Issues from Love
The Gospel looks like transformed communities that transform the community around them. We seek to nurture a broken heart and open eyes to reach those in need, whom Christ calls "the least of these," with the love of God (Matt 25:40). If our labors are not born out of love, they are insufficient to bring the world the true help it desperately needs. Before we go to minister, we first ask God to give us His heart for the one in front of us. In this way, we respond to the call to "love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31).

Cultivating God's Habitation Among Us
We are a community devoted to God's presence. It is within this context that discipleship takes place. We aim to create communities that gather around God, centering ourselves around worship and prayer to foster meaningful relationships together as we follow the teachings of Jesus. We circle around Him so that He may live and richly dwell among us (Col. 3:16).

Leadership Comes from the Heart
God empowers us to carry the heart of fathers and mothers into an orphaned world. Such leaders are reliant on God and reliable to others. We strive to create a ministry environment that cultivates authentic leaders for this generation, who model servant-leadership and esteem others in honor above themselves (Phil. 2:3).

Generosity
We choose to live generously toward the world by wholeheartedly using the diversity of resources God has granted us to serve others. This is our act of worship. His gifts equip us to express the image of Jesus in various ways to the cultures around us, in the hope that they may believe in His name as the one true Son of God. For this reason, we find joy in surrendering ourselves and our resources for the joy set before us in knowing and participating in God's life (Hebrews 12:2).

Be Sent
There are many times when being a disciple of Jesus means sacrifice, and we count it an honor to join Him. In every setting—our homes, workplaces, local cities, country, and the nations—we choose to live missionally in every area of our lives, refusing to set our hearts on this world and the present age as we prepare the world for Jesus’s appearing. His glory and upward call draw us to fulfill the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19-10).

The Gospel is the Power of God We preach that God's Kingdom has come in the person and ministry of Christ. This is the "good news" of the Gospel (Mark 1:15). As Jesus proclaimed repentance and the forgiveness of sins in his own name, he healed the sick, cast out demons, cleansed the leper, and raised the dead (Matt. 4:23-24). We expect the power of God to be made manifest as we declare Jesus as King and the Lord risen from the dead. The Gospel only makes sense if it is accompanied by a demonstration of power, since it is the power of God (Rom. 1:16). This means our lives must trust in the provision of God's supernatural response to our prayers, in our personal lives, and in our ministry to others.
