First, some gushy thank you’s
(because tbh i have a lot to be grateful for):

Massive thank you to everyone who has supported, prayed, encouraged, shared and been part of bringing setting this idea on fire.

To the @renaissance.movement + @saint.church family around the world — too many to list here — but you know who you are, and this is your story!

To the world class team at @harpercollinschristian @zondervanreflective especially my editor @ryanpazdur - and Matt, Laura, Daniel, Emily, Tammy, Ian (I can’t believe you got a + Spark tattoo 🫣), Rosie & Kasia - thank you for believing in this crazy project.

To those who I have the enormous privilege of working so closely with — who have created space for this to happen: Zac Lloyd, G, Nai, Bea + whole crew. You’re total titans.

And thank you Tom Dean @adropofinkliterary — you are an amazing agent and an even better friend. Thank you for your hard work and wise advice.

Finally, my precious family: @oliviagordonarchitect @kester_gordon @taliagord.on thank you for doing this with me. I love you so much. SDG.

Next, my hope for this book:

We’re living the most fascinating time to be alive. Algorithms are changing and rewiring the world around us. But artificial intelligence can only hallucinate, never dream. That dreaming comes from your soul from the SPARK of the Creator. So this is an urgent time to ignite your God-given creativity. It’s never been harder to create: suicide rates among creative people are four times than that of the general population and one of five of creatives work below the poverty line.

My prayer is that this book will ignite a fire in you that burns brightly and restore light and life to all around you.

Go get a copy, gather some friends, and set fire to your God-given creativity!

GOOD FRIDAY UPDATE!

There’s been a lot of discussion about what is happening spiritually in the UK. All I can tell you is that Jesus is on the absolutely on the move.

Here’s what we saw last night at the two Good Friday @jointprayergathering’s:

Photo (2) Spiritual Hunger: demand for young ppl to come & pray continues to increase. We added a 3pm as well as 7pm to cope. 2,300 came through the building in person to pray, many more in overflow, and thousands joined online. Unbelievable hunger & expectancy. Queues that snaked up & down street.

(3) Presence: The sense of the nearness of Jesus was immense. Moments when it felt thick over the room. Not normal. Heavy. Here’s a clip from consecration room meeting before we opened doors to give you a flavour.

(4) Miraculous Power: Many people healed, testimonies from three people whose backs were completely healed in one gathering. Here’s one story.

(5) Salvations: again, many responded to invitations to follow Jesus. So encouraging.

(6) Prayer like a Furnace: I’ve never heard such loud praying. Room felt shaken. Here’s a clip.

(7) Unity: 2/3rd came from @saint.church, @kxcchurch, @imprintldn, but over 250 churches represented in the room. Unity = blessing.

(8) Worship: we could have carried on all night. Deep sense of the love of God, Jesus drawing near and meeting people. Stunning. Here’s a taste of one moment.

Here’s the data we need to pay attention to: 1 Empty Tomb, 100% of those who call on the name of the Lord are being saved, and one Spirit being poured out on all people in these days. Jesus is alive, and he’s on the move.

This is part of a bigger pattern:
Bible Sales 📈 up 134%
EA survey 🚀 13% increase in Church Attendance.
Youth for Christ data: church attendance among young people has doubled from 4% to 8%.
Catholic ✝️ Easter Baptisms breaking records again.
CofE London: ⚡️20% growth over past 5 yrs
Alpha❓biggest ever year around the world. 2.8m just did Alpha, in UK up from 115k in 21, to 230k, growth 38% in the last year. Half of guests est now under age of 25.

See you 30th April for Awakening Leader’s Gathering & 1st May All Nighter.

Jesus is alive!
Prepare the way for the Lord!
