Awakening Sydney: has grown momentum over the pasttwo years as the young adults who gathered in '07 and '08 have scattered abroad determined to let God change theirhearts for His Glory. Awakening '07 was for many a call to refocus their faith; to know and love Jesus as theirSaviour and find their joy for life in Him.'08 was exemplary and encouraging for us to let our hearts be directedtoward God, and thus, our hands to His people.
"Awaken this Love" is simply this:: the prayer and passion of young adults all overSydney and the world who desire that the little-'g' gods in our life be replaced by the all-satisfying,all-consuming, great God - Jesus Christ. That we would begin to comprehend and trust in the amazing LOVE ofChrist, shown to us in his wrath-absorbing death. A love for Him, His church and this world, is the love that wedesire to be continually awoken to.
Voices to Note::
Robert Guerrero - Currently residing in the Dominican Republic, Robert oversees a thriving urban mission-focusedchurch which he started nearly 15 years ago. His church's mission statement includes "inspiring others towardswholistic mission" and this is exactly what we can expect from him at Awakening next year. He has also featured at Bill Hybels church at Willow Creek for a Justice Convention...you may not of heard of Robert but he will truly bless you with his heart and message!
Also featuring:: Phil Pringle, Josh Kelsey, Joe Pringle, Georgie Kelsey and Steve Burgess
With the platform for Worship and Justice solidly set accompanied by the likes of RobertGuerrero, you need to do everything you can to get to Awakening 09 Sydney.
In taking the Awakening conference abroad,: howcould we miss one of the most established cities in the world - London. Ancient in age, first-class in culture andinfluence, London leads the Western world in religion, literature, politics and thought. With the rise ofNeo-Paganism, this corner of our globe is quickly being labelled ‘Post-Christian’, but without His sovereign handit will never be. Somebody tell Coldplay that when we see God come in our garden...our hearts will be open to hearwhat he says. Awakening 09 London will melt the snow from your clothes and bring life back to your winter fingersand toes.

Why is Awakening coming to New York?
:
The Awakening Conference, despite its name, does not suppose to be an 'old-school, tent-revival meeting' of sorts.It simply exists to awaken every young adult to the reality of Christ, that they would live to give complete gloryto God, causing a worldwide revolution of faith, hope and love. Since its beginnings in 2007, Awakening has beengraced by God to do just that. Churches, young adult movements and countless college-age ministries have been bornout of Awakening moments.
New York is an exciting city. Not just because of its magical metropolitan lifestyle or mysterious global à lamode status, but because there are young adults within her that love her and desire to see this city a city whereGod is glorified above fame, consumerism and success. Awakening ’09 will join in on this discussion and set thepace for Christ exalting ventures across the country.
