Join us at 'The Pursuit' in Houston, Texas August 5-8th! This conference is designed to inspire youth and young adults to a passionate relationship with God as we gather to seek His presence. The Pursuit speakers are young, vibrant and have extensive travel and ministry experience preaching and teaching in signs and wonders. We believe it is important for youth and young adults to see people in their age range already doing the work of the Kingdom. Global Awakening has a long history of being life-changers in the lives of youth and young adults - don't miss this opportunity to press in and see what God has in store!

 

God is gathering the church to seek His face. The pursuit of His presence is the focus of this gathering. The Holy Spirit longs to see the church filled with His glory. In order for this to happen we must worship God with passion, completely unashamed. Join us at this gathering as we pursue God’s heart for our nation, the beauty of His face, and the glory of worshiping Him with all we are.

Speakers JamieGalloway2Jamie Galloway
Jamie Galloway has a heart to spread extreme intimate encounters with Jesus and His Kingdom across the nations. He believes God is calling His church into realms of His presence that only former generations dreamed of. Jamie and his wife, Emily, desire for the bride of Christ to rise up in this hour and influence this generation and those to come. Whether it is in the ministry or the marketplace, their vision is to see the works of Jesus in operation and a great end time harvest come to pass. The Galloways minister itinerantly both nationally and internationally, and their ministry is marked by signs, wonders and miracles. Jamie launched Global Awakening Prophetic Expressions under the covering of Randy Clark and the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening. The Galloways reside in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

Will HartWill Hart
In 1999 Will walked into the basement of a church not knowing why he was there. That night the Holy Spirit reached out and grabbed him by the heart and he was never the same. While the rest of his senior class was walking down the aisle collecting their diplomas, Will was already on a plane to Paraguay. During his 19 months in Paraguay he witnessed the power of revival first hand. Ministering alongside his mentor Bob Bradbury, he saw salvations, healing and deliverances. The power of the Spirit was on him to preach and set people free. In 2002 he received a call from Randy Clark to travel with him full time. After three years of hands on training with Randy, Will and his wife Musy moved to Mozambique to serve Heidi and Rolland Baker. Will's call is to take the simplicity of the gospel and power of the Holy Spirit wherever he goes. Whether it is the jungles of Congo or the streets of Thailand, he is expectant and confident in the Holy Spirit showing up in power.

Brandon HessBrandon Hess
Brandon Hess speaks with a strong prophetic voice to this generation. As a forerunner in power evangelism, Brandon’s passion is to activate believers to share Jesus and the power of His mighty love wherever they are. In the summer of 2004, while on a youth power invasion with Randy Clark, his eyes were opened to see in the supernatural realm. Using his seer gift, along with words of knowledge, Brandon has introduced many to a life-giving relationship with Jesus and initiated “on the street” miracles of healing. Power encounters are a daily occurrence for him at Penn State University where he currently is a student. Come prepared to receive an unquenchable hunger for God and the harvest.

FayteneKryskowFaytene Kryskow
Faytene has been in full-time Christian service since 1997.
She began in ministry by serving extensively on the inner-city streets of Vancouver leading and establishing outreaches to serve the poor, homeless and/or addicted through her home church (Westpointe Christian Centre) and in co-operation with various other inner-city ministries. In her first two years of official full time Christian service she also functioned as city wide director of Neighbour Link Vancouver, a ministry to mobilize churches to serve the needy in their community in practical ways (food delivery, visitation, home care etc.). During these years NeighbourLink experienced exponential growth with many new churches being mobilized to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the city of Vancouver. In 2000, after being miraculously healed of a terminal illness (auto immune hepatits), she transitioned to oversees missionary/humanitarian work. During this period she served in West Africa for 7 months under Hope for the Nations in a rescue mission for malnourished children. In this term she planted a church, established a mercy ministry that is thriving to this day and saw multitudes of people healed, delivered and come to Christ. Since returning to Canada, Faytene's focus has been on advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ, and Godly values, there. Faytene is currently regarded as one of the most influential young Christian spokespersons in Canada for Christian values - both within the Christian community and outside of it. Her first mass distributed book, Stand On Guard, has become a national best seller through self distribution and has been accepted to the Parliamentary Library of Canada. Her next mass distributed book, Marked, is due for release in the spring of 2009. Faytene travels extensively teaching and exhorting the Body of Christ to be salt and light in the earth, to carry the fragrance of Christ and to live their lives to the max. In her meetings people regularly come to faith in Christ, experience His Spirit and are healed. The message she brings is always strong, passionate and measured to the word of God. To date, she has written 3 books, recorded several teaching and worship CDs and produced several art pieces. Finally, Faytene believes a form of Christianity that is void of passion, fruit or power is not Christianity at all.

JezJEZ
 Stylistically, he is an amalgamation of as many different places and experiences as he has lived. Growing up on the Guatemalan mission field and traveling extensively ever since he was young allowed Jez to experience first hand the power of music, regardless of age, culture, language or race. If music could cross any barrier, then so could the message it carried, and so a new song was born. As varied as his influences, it is clear that the primary of these is God.  

In 1997, Jez joined the band Broken Vessels. Through his experience with BV, he was able to write songs, define style, and focus on his passion for music. After 3 successful years with Broken Vessels playing to crowds large and small, Jez focused on solo projects and went on to work with Vertical as lead vocalist. Playing to a crowd of over 20,000 people in February of 2003 proved to be a turning point in his musical career. After the show, he met Grammy Award-winning singer Marcos Witt. Shortly thereafter, Jez received an email inviting him to come to the United States and proceeded to move to Houston, Texas and sign with CanZion Music. In 2005 Jez recorded his debut english record entitled, “The Turns”, and in 2006 released a re-mixed spanish version of the same album called, “En Medio del Silencio”. Currently, Jez is finishing his 3rd studio album, after having spent the better part of the past 3 years (2006-2008) playing music for hundreds of thousands of people all over South America and the United States. Even though many of these shows have been with his band, Jez is still best known for his solo presentations with just his acoustic guitar and a mic. Jez has also put his talents to use for other artists by arranging, producing and song writing. Some of the artists he has collaborated with are 5 time Grammy Award winner, Marcos Witt, and Grammy Award Nominee, Alex Campos, among others. 

The songs that Jez sings speak clearly through our human emotions and ideas, resonating in our hearts with truth.  “Im thinking of why, all these turns in life, but im trusting that to you, they’re all a straight line.  (from the song “The Turns”) 

Jez currently lives in Austin, Texas with his wife Luisa and newborn baby, Giada.
