National Summit 

July 25-27, 2024

Charlotte, NC

A gathering for collegiate & young adult communities and movements who are longing for revival and renewal on their campuses and in their cities.

SOWING FOR AWAKENING *2024

Although genuine spiritual awakening is properly identified by God's activity amongst men, He graciously invites us to participate in the renewal of our cities and campuses. We cannot manufacture awakening, but we can sow into it. The things that proceed historic revival and spiritual awakening are often inconspicuous and seemingly unimpressive to the natural eye. One person or a small group of people consecrating themselves to the Lord, times of confession and repentance, secret fasting, tears shed for the lost in our communities, consistent prayer meetings, and renewed evangelistic fervor all represent seeds of awakening.

This summer we are inviting young people to sow into the purposes of God for their generation.

Why We Gather?

  • We gather to exalt Jesus over our generation, university campuses, and cities.

  • It’s easy to get lost in the crowd in today’s attractional and curated conference environments. We intentionally build our gatherings in a way to cultivate meaningful connections for people across different cities, states, campuses, and communities.

  • We believe God is not only raising up Gospel-shaped individuals who are going to make a meaningful impact in the world. He is raising up powerful communities who are going to change the world. We believe Christian community is God’s vehicle for awakening and renewal on our college campuses and in our cities. Our desire is to see communities strengthened with fresh vision and faith for their community, campus, city, and generation. Imagine the implications of hearts collectively marked — this is our prayer.

  • God is at work in our generation! We believe He invites each us to join in what He is doing by inviting renewal/revival into our hearts and contexts. As we gather, our prayer is that a fresh move of God’s Spirit would catalyze resilient faith in our hearts that would impact our generation and future generations to come.

    Whether you are in a season of waiting or dating how do we rightly honor God and others in our relationships - interactions, conversation, and thoughts? How do we battle against sexual temptation? How do we heal from sexual brokenness? How can we live intentionally in readying ourselves for the sacrificial love of marriage? In this breakout we’ll explore Gospel foundations to help us see God, ourselves, and other’s rightly and practical ways we can practice Holiness in seasons of waiting & dating.

    Joey Schwartz, Mission Community Church 

    Friday, July 26 / 3:15pm

    Jesus has given you a spiritual gift. Are you using it for his glory? Even though the Bible tells us to practice and progress in our gift, many believers hide their gift out of fear, confusion, and uncertainty. In this breakout session, learn how to know and grow in your spiritual gift—and how to help others do the same.

  • Community Practices: Doing the Jesus Stuff Together
    Student Panel facilitated by Regin Larson, Ignite APP State Campus Director

    Friday, July 26 / 3:15pm

    Our DNA at Ignite is rooted in participating in the values of Jesus expressed through prayer, evangelism, and discipleship. But what does this look like practically? How do we get started?

    The Great Commission is meant to be fulfilled in the context of COMMUNITY! During this panel you’ll have the opportunity to hear from students who are doing the Jesus things in community and what their experiences has been like. Our hope is that you would be equipped & inspired to carry these rhythms back to your campus or community to reach this generation through doing the Jesus things TOGETHER.

  • Becoming a Willing Vessel
    Zack Meerkreebs, Asbury University City Movement RDU 

    Saturday, July 27 / 2:00pm

    How do we create and steward a space, possibly our hearts, in a way ready for God to move among us? God is not stingy, not holding back His glory and power, but is a good and wise Father that is looking for people and places that can steward encounter. Let's explore, wrestle with, and pray that He might see you and I, our ministries and most importantly our hearts, as a place that He can descend upon us.

  • How to Read the Bible
    Skyler Farley, Ignite Movement 

    Saturday, July 27 / 2:00pm

    What habits do we need to develop in order to hear the Bible on its own terms? How do we walk away from the Bible shaped by its message? And how do we move from reading an ancient text to living an authentically Christian life in a modern world? Exploring these questions is crucial for our personal apprenticeship to Jesus and our role in discipling the next generation.
