2022 WAKE UP! Conference
By Bunni Pounds
Christians around America are waking up. We can’t sit on the sidelines any longer.
God is breaking down walls between denominations, races, and generations and uniting us around a mission of prayer and action for the nation that we love.
America needs us, the Body of Christ, to be fully awake and engaged.
Join us at the Wake UP! Conference – September 23 and 24th in Dallas Fort Worth.
Come HEAR some of the top CHRISTIAN VOICES in America as they inspire and educate us on prayer, voting, and engagement for the wellbeing of our nation.
This national conference is designed just for you – the awakening church.

We are excited to be hosted by Church in the City and Pastor Ryan Hankins in Rowlett, Texas for an amazing Friday evening and all-day Saturday event.
Hosted by our discipleship ministry Christians Engaged — this conference is a unique experience where government leaders who love Jesus and ministry leaders come together across denominational lines.
Not only are we going to hear from these amazing speakers who have important messages for America right now — but we are going to worship and pray together for our nation as one Church together. You don’t want to miss it!

Sponsorships Help Fund the Ministry, Not Just the Event
As we move from a Texas based ministry to a national ministry – Christians Engaged is developing the FIRST ever national communication system, that is operated by the CHURCH and secured by the CHURCH, to push the CHURCH out to vote in every election in all 50 states. Taking our successful model from Texas - where 72% of Christians who took our pledge to pray, vote, and engage voted in the Texas primary in 2022, our non-partisan kingdom perspective and activation model will produce great results nationally during the Midterms this year and the 2024 election cycle and beyond.
Along with our On-Ramp to Civic Engagement Seminar (6.5 hours) that we are launching nationally this summer - we will also be releasing this year - How to Be Salt and Light in Your Community. These on-demand video series enable any individual Christian, family, small group, or church to go through them – regardless of location. Next year we will be releasing - The Leadership of Nehemiah: How to Rebuild the Walls of a Nation and developing all the hard subjects that the Church must talk about - Biblical Justice, Economics, Christian Worldview and Conduct, the Sanctity of Life and more....
