Greater Things
GLOBAL AWAKENING KIDS
A life changing experience for the entire family
Join kids from all over the world in a time of learning, worshipping, and participating in various activities. We have seen the children in GAK hunger to go after God. We have seen them respond to impartation in a heart-touching way. We have seen them reach out through prophetic art to bless the conference attendees. It has been a joy to see them worshipping, ministering to each other, learning, laughing, and enjoying the presence of the Lord. This is a priceless opportunity for your child to be forever changed in their faith journey.
Stay tuned for more information about GAK at Greater Things 2025!
The theme for this years GAK program at Greater Things is “Let your light shine”. Matthew 5:16 says “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven”. We believe that this generation will be a light to the world and they will shine before all men. Our prayer is that they will experience God like never before and glorify their Father in heaven.
Through impartation, teaching, and fun, our Kids will experience God’s extravagant love and learn His truth about us, that we are empowered to be a Light in the Darkness.

Nolan Sweeney
GAK Program Leader
I am the Kid Life Director at New Life Church Corpus Christi. I am married to the wonderful Amanda Sweeney!
My desire for Greater Things Kids is that as we grow in our revelation of who Jesus is, we become more like him. He is a consuming fire, as we become more like him, we too are set ablaze. This “life ablaze” is something we only find through Jesus. He is the one who baptizes us in the Holy Spirit and Fire.
As we explore the 7 “I AM” statements in the gospel of John, my prayer is that God sets these young ones ablaze. As they get to know Him, they become like Him. Burning with power and intensity, but never burning out.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Kids Program?
The kids program runs during the morning and evening sessions. You can drop your kids off at 8:30 AM and their session will begin at 9:00. Pick up is at 12:30 PM. In the evening, you can drop your kids off at 6:30 pm and their session starts at 7. Kids can be picked up at 10 pm.
WHAT DO I DO WITH MY KIDS DURING THE AFTERNOON?
The kids can go into the adult sessions with you; all kids registered for GAK can attend the adult Greater Things sessions for free. Please make sure that your children are always with a guardian.
HOW DOES THE CHECK-IN PROCESS WORK?
During the pre-registration process on our website, we collect all the information we need to make an account for your child in our KidCheck program.
When you arrive for the initial check-in, please join the registration line according to last name. One of our volunteers will direct you to enter your phone number to check-in your child. Then, our printer will print two stickers: one for you and one for your child. Your child will wear their sticker. You will use your sticker during check-out. You and your child will be assigned a unique code on the stickers to match you both during check-out. Any important information indicated on the form you submitted online will also appear on their sticker (i.e. allergies, no photography, etc.).
At registration, we will provide a GAK schedule.
If you need to update any important information, please do not hesitate to call 717-796-9866, email events@globalawakening.com or let one of our volunteers know at check-in.
WHAT IF I CAN’T PICK UP MY KIDS DURING THE DESIGNATED PICK-UP TIME?
If you know for some reason you will be unable to pick up your kids during the specified time, please make arrangements ahead of time for your child to be picked up by your 2nd guardian. The 2nd guardian’s information must be included when you are registering your child. If you are worried about missing impartation or part of the session that has gone late, please remember that you can pick up your kids and go back into the adult session with them.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO WHEN I ARRIVE?
You do not need to bring your email confirmation; we will have you and your children on our list. Registration for parents begins at 4 PM on the first night of the event and kids check-in begins at 6:15 PM. Please refer to our check-in process column for further information on check-in and drop-off.
CAN I COME IN WITH MY KIDS?
Due to safety regulations, none of the parents are allowed into the kids program. All adults that are in that room have gone through paperwork and other clearances. This is to protect your children. The kids typically adjust quickly to the group setting. If they have any issues adjusting, we will contact you via the number you gave us on your registration.
If your child is having an encounter with the Lord and cannot get up during check-out, a GAK team member will walk you to your child so you can carry them out.
