Tent Revival 

Revival Ready Evangelism Equipping
& Nelson Tent Revival

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.

Baptize Nelson

Ready to take your next step with Jesus? Baptize Nelson is a time to go through the waters of baptism and declare your new life in Christ.

Join us for an afternoon of baptism, worship, prayer, and celebration as people publicly declare their faith in Jesus and step into new life through the waters of baptism.

Led by Bianca Serratore, Baptize Nelson will take place from 3pm–5pm on Sunday 1 November, with a free BBQ and worship. Sign-up is optional, but helpful. If you are being baptised, please bring a towel and spare clothes, as baptisms usually happen in your clothes.

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.
