An invitation is going out across Europe for a unique gathering of 3,000 young people from all 51 nations of the continent, taking place in July 2019. United Prayer Rising (UPRising) Europe will draw together believers for 72 hours of united worship and prayer with a mandate to contend for a youth awakening across Europe.
JJ Waters, Director of UPRising Europe said, “Following God’s lead, we are incredibly excited to gather together people from every nation in Europe to contend for a youth awakening. This is such a critical time for Europe – much is being shaken whilst at the same time God is moving powerfully in many nations. We believe He is doing something beautiful in the hearts of young people, in what is now one of the most unreached continents on earth. Now is the time to come together from different nations, across denominations, honouring fathers and mothers, and to worship and pray for a mighty move of God in Europe.”
We want to invite young people and anyone with a heart for Europe, to save the dates – 8th to 11th July 2019 and to plan to be part of this event.
The backbone of UPRising Europe will be 72 hours of non-stop worship and prayer led by worship teams of young people from all over Europe. We want to see young people from each of their nations bringing their own unique flavour, style of music and worship songs in their own language alongside English songs. These are the grassroots, passionate worship and prayer leaders who are faithful to where God has placed them and willing to contend for Europe.
Out of this will flow prayer and intercession for Europe, with occasional inspiration from speakers in our main sessions and seminars. There will also be prayer for these young people to be sent with a lasting fire to see their cities and nations changed by Jesus.
UPRising Europe is part of the global UPRising movement that was birthed out of the World Prayer Assembly in 2012 in Indonesia. The first UPRising event was in Seoul, South Korea in July 2016. Since then, there have been UPRising events in the Philippines, South Africa, Mongolia, Bolivia, Malaysia, Canada, Chile, Mexico and California.
UPRising Europe will take place at Ashburnham Place, Battle, East Sussex – a Christian retreat and conference centre set in beautiful grounds with three lakes, gardens and an abundance of nature. Delegates will be able to stay in Ashburnham place itself or camp in the spacious grounds.
We want to bring together young people from every nation in Europe and to make this event accessible to all. In order to do this, we intend to make ticket prices reasonable for those from all parts of Europe. If anyone or any church wishes to help subsidise these costs, please contact us via the website.

"One New Man" Alignment Roundtable with Messianic Jewish Leaders, March 11-14, Jerusalem
Please pray for this crucial international event that will involve both Jewish and Gentile leaders coming together to sit at the feet of Messiah together. Tikkun Global, a Messianic Jewish organization headquartered in Israel is organizing it and describes its objectives in this way:
"The sense is that these gatherings hold significant prophetic and relational importance in the timeline of the Kingdom of God and for the continuing restoration of Israel and the Church as One New Man. We believe that we are nearing a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Israel and the world.
It is now more important than ever for the body of believers to come into alignment and to bring purity and humility to apostolic renewal in our days.
The purpose of the convocation will be:
- To seek God in worship and prayer for wisdom and prophetic direction.
- To develop personal relationships and unity as the global family of believers from every nation.
- Continue discussions regarding the concept of alignment and possible implications for Israel and the Church, for the Messianic Jewish body and the wider family of believers around the world.
- Prayerfully explore what God might be calling us to do together - to move beyond relational unity and into some sort of strategic alliance for the future.
"Heaven must receive [Yeshua], until the time of the restoration of all the things that God spoke about long ago through the mouth of His holy prophets." - Acts 3:21
Please pray for an anointed, Spirit-led time that will bring forth good things for the entire Body of Christ, Jewish and Gentile, and for our world.
A significant number of major outreaches are planned simultaneously in every country possible within Africa with many international ministries involved such as Christ for All Nations, Luis Palau, Heidi Baker, Joyce Meyer, African Enterprises, Global Outreach Day (G.O.D) and TBN Africa on 31st May 2020 (provisional date).
During the last weekend of May they have planned to have an outreach in every country of Africa where it’s possible.
Together with many international ministries, churches and African denominations who have already committed to "adopt" a country.
During May, many churches will be mobilized to go out and witness and with about 5,000 evangelists to be trained they will cast a Gospel net, including live TV.
There will be broadcasts and live streaming over the whole continent of Africa.

The Send
28 Feb 2019
For the past eighteen years, the ministry of The Call has filled stadiums with a message of prayer and fasting, believing that America would turn back to Jesus. Then God spoke to its leaders, saying that a shift was coming that would give birth to a new sending movement. The shift began as 70,000 people raised their shoes in response to a call to go anywhere for the gospel. This gathering, called Azusa Now, catalysed a grassroots movement activating believers to evangelism and mobilising missionaries all over the world. In response to Azusa Now, national ministries gathered together in Florida to seek the Lord, believing that the momentum must become a national movement. The Send was born. On 23 February 60,000 youths were mobilised into mission! Believing now is a tipping point of action to reach this generation in five mission fields: schools, universities, colleges, friends, and neighbourhoods.
Jesus appears in a dream
28 Feb 2019
Mostafa travelled to Cairo with the intention of killing his cousin Mohammad for converting from Islam to Christianity. He found him in a worship service and waited to make his move. The songs and prayers he heard in that service appealed to him. He approached Mohammad with tears in his eyes, ‘I came from our village to spy on you and see if you had become a Christian. I should tell your family what I saw, but I just can’t. I think the choice you made might have been the right one. Can you tell me more? Why did you leave Islam for Christianity?’ The cousins spent hours discussing the Gospel, and that night Mostafa dreamt of Jesus on the cross looking at him and saying, ‘I did this because I love you, and I want you to be free from your sins.’ Mostafa told Mohammad his dream. The following month he was baptised, with Mohammad standing next to him.
Insight: what would Jesus do?
28 Feb 2019
A shooting range which provides ‘family fun’ for adults and children aged six and over announced a new target in a tweet. ‘Hot off the press’ showed an image of Shamima Begum and the hashtag ‘no remorse’. 19-year-old Shamima is in a refugee camp, asking to return to the UK after living with IS terrorists for four years. The home secretary removed her British citizenship for the public good, and suggested she apply for Bangladeshi nationality as her mother is a Bangladeshi. There are questions around citizenship, justice and reconciliation in the aftermath of the most brutal conflict so far this century. Our moral reasoning and response to those complicit in IS evil will be debated in the law courts. Our government has responsibilities to protect citizens, administer justice and look after those who have suffered. What would Jesus do? For background, see

Stop investing in fossil fuels
28 Feb 2019
The former UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon said he was deeply concerned that the UK’s export credit agency had provided billions of pounds in recent years to support businesses involved in oil and gas schemes around the world. ‘These figures and policies are hard to reconcile with the UK’s commitments under the Paris agreement,’ said Ban, referring to the international climate deal he forged in 2015 as UN chief. ‘The time has come for the UK to change course, in the interests of the whole world,’ he wrote in a comment for the Guardian. Pray that the Government’s priority, at home and abroad, will be to forge opportunities for UK businesses to resist investing in or funding fossil fuel projects. Recent projects supported by the UK include oil and gas fields off the coast of Ghana, a major gas pipeline in Oman, and software for an oil firm in Argentina.
