Awake, Arise! London

The darkness in our society is great. All around us, we are seeing the consequences of rejecting God’s good ways: disorder, brokenness and death. We are in a fight for life, for family and for freedom.

But there is hope.

In the midst of fast-moving cultural changes, we have an opportunity to stand up, speak out and shine his light in this dark world. God is calling his people to awake and arise.

Are you ready to respond?

Connect with like-minded Christians from across the UK as we gather for Awake, Arise: a day of teaching, worship, prayer and testimonies that will encourage and equip you to:

• Look up and see Jesus, the Lord of all
• Wake up and understand the battle around us
• Rise up and bring the hope of Jesus to the heart of society

Speakers include Andrea Williams and Andrew Marsh from Christian Concern, with more to be announced.

They will provide:

• Stories and news on important legal cases involving Christian freedoms
• Updates on urgent issues in public policy, including education and protection of life
• Ways for you to pray and take effective action
• Ideas for how you can make a difference where God has placed you
• Opportunities to ask questions and access additional resources

It’s time for God’s people to awake and arise. Will you answer the call?

Book your ticket today, and encourage others to come with you.

Andrea Williams (), Keynote Speaker

As Chief Executive and co-founder of Christian Concern and the Christian Legal Centre, Andrea Minichiello Williams has led some of the most high-profile and ground-breaking Christian freedom cases and parliamentary campaigns in the United Kingdom and Europe. Through bold legal advocacy and strategic cultural engagement, she has been at the forefront of defending life, family and Christian freedoms in the United Kingdom and beyond.

Andrea is a qualified barrister with over three decades of experience in law, public policy and campaigning. She is a powerful and passionate voice for Christian truth, working tirelessly to see society transformed by the gospel in every sphere, from law and politics to education and healthcare. This vision led to the formation of the Wilberforce Collective and an increasing global influence through partner organisations.

Andrea is married to Gareth; they have four grown-up children and one grandson.
