Christians Engaged Hosts 2023 Wake UP! Conference Nov. 3-4
By Bunni Pounds - This article was originally published by The Stream.
Come hear some of the top Christian government and ministry 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.
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 we love.
America needs us, the Body of Christ, to be fully awake and engaged.
Join us at the Wake UP! Conference, November 3-4, 2023 in Dallas/Fort Worth.
We have a special promo code for Stream readers. Just put in THESTREAM for $15 off each ticket.
We are excited to be hosted by Cottonwood Creek Church and Pastor John Mark Caton in Allen, Texas, for an amazing Friday evening and all-day Saturday event.
This is our discipleship ministry Christians Engaged’s largest event each year and a unique experience where Jesus-loving government leaders 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!
