Twenty Indicators of Awakening in the Church and Culture

Unite for a Christ awakening and a transformed nation!

Twenty indicators of awakening have been identified–ten in the church and ten in the culture. These indicators serve as a focal point for strategic engagement.

Each of our indicators is directly tied to an element of our process:

united prayer, pastor care, church revitalization, and community transformation.
