We believe God is stirring something powerful in Nelson. The Tent Revival and Evangelism Equipping are an invitation for believers to gather in worship, prayer, training, and outreach as we prepare for a fresh move of the Holy Spirit across our city and region.
This is a time to be equipped, empowered, and activated to carry the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ with boldness and compassion. Together, we are believing to see hearts healed, lives set free, and souls saved in Nelson, New Zealand, and the nations.

Revival Ready Evangelism Equipping
Join us for a powerful 3-day Evangelism Equipping and Empowerment in Nelson, led by Evangelist Jacqui Ford alongside missionary evangelists coming to Nelson with a passion to equip, activate, and mobilise the saints for harvest. This intensive time of teaching, impartation, and outreach is designed to prepare believers to boldly share the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Participants will be trained in evangelism, the gifts of the Spirit, the anointing, prophetic and healing ministry, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, receiving fresh empowerment to be effective witnesses for Christ. Together, we are preparing the Church for Gospel mobilisation and spiritual awakening in anticipation of the coming Nelson Revival.
Remnant Collective
The Remnant Collective NZ is a worship movement carrying a sound of surrender, unity, and encounter.
Gathering worshippers from across the Body of Christ, Remnant Collective exists to lift up the name of Jesus and create space for people to draw near to God. Their worship is marked by a desire to move beyond performance and into genuine ministry — where hearts are softened, faith is stirred, and people are invited to respond to the presence of the Holy Spirit.
With a heart to see churches strengthened and believers awakened in worship, Remnant Collective leads from a place of reverence, hunger, and authenticity. They carry a deep desire to see worship become more than a moment, but a lifestyle of surrender that unites the Church and points every heart back to Jesus.
