Grand awakening exists to call
west michigan and America to
revival and ​spiritual awakening! 

While each spiritual awakening in history has had its unique qualities, they all have had one feature in common: they all began with God's people uniting in desperate, humble, and expectant prayer. And not just ordinary prayer, but extraordinary prayer specifically for revival of the church and spiritual awakening of our culture. We long to see more and more people joining us in praying for God to revive us, the Church of West Michigan and of our whole nation, leading to--in His sovereignty--a mighty Awakening that brings millions of people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

For Christ-followers from all
West Michigan congregations
Unite with others as we pray for
the ONly way to bring
true healing to our Hurting nation:
revival of the church, leading to
a great spiritual awakening!

(We typically meet on the first Thursday of each month.)
​Our next prayer time is 7:00 pm, Thursday, January 4, 2024
We meet at Calvary Church, 707 East Beltline Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49525
Enter through Entrance C on the front of Calvary and go to the Chapel.
​(We are typically done by 8:30 pm.)
We are soooo excited about how God is answering our faithful prayers for revival by what He is now doing among the Gen Z crowd in West Michigan. You've got to listen to one of the movement leaders, Jonah Engle!
And then see 10,000 Gen Zers at the Van Andel Arena a few months ago. On fire for Jesus!
Below is a great video of what God did just before the Civil War in America. He can do it again as we pray and obey, seeking Him with all our heart in unity!

BELOW IS A PODCAST OF OUR MOST RECENT NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER EVENT HELD AT CALVARY CHURCH IN GRAND RAPIDS ON MAY 4, 2023. IT WAS SOOO VERY EXCITING TO HEAR OF THE AMAZING THINGS GOD IS DOING TO BRING REVIVAL TO OUR STATE AND NATION!!

below is a 30 second video showing a brief taste of our wonderful West Michigan Prayer summit
​held January 25 of this year.

While prayer is absolutely essential to revival and spiritual awakening, it is not, by itself, sufficient to produce a mighty move of God. Why do we say this? For one, God is sovereign and He alone decides when revival and awakening will happen. But, beyond that, there are things we as the Church need to DO in addition to pray. God has downloaded to us what some of those things are. Look at this:
We need to Turn and Pray; then Unite and Obey. The early Church didn't specifically pray for revival. Jesus prayed that the Church would have unity. (See John 17:20-23). The early Church themselves prayed for boldness and that Jesus' power and love would be manifested in our world. (See Acts 4:24-31). Just imagine the power of Christians of all denominations and ethnicities reaching out in unity and love to the needy of our world! THAT could spark a mighty move of God in our day! Friends, why not us? Why not now?
