A powerful night of praise, prayer, prophetic encouragement and community partnership as we stand together for this generation
About this Event

There are moments when a community must gather

Not just to talk
Not just to watch
Not just to hope someone else will respond

But to stand together

Nation of Praise: Take Back Our Youth is a night of praise, prayer, prophetic encouragement and honest conversation, calling churches, families, youth leaders, community organisations, intercessors, creatives, mentors and people of goodwill to unite around one shared burden:

Our community. Our children. Our future.

Across our communities, many are concerned about what we are seeing and feeling among young people: anti-social behaviour, unrest, fear, loss of direction, trauma, family pressure, hopelessness and a generation searching for identity, belonging and purpose.

We believe this is not a time to stand back

It is a time to pray
It is a time to gather
It is a time to partner
It is a time to stand in the gap

The scripture at the heart of this gathering is:

“The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.”
Matthew 11:12

For us, this is not a call to physical aggression. This is a call to spiritual urgency, prayer, fasting, love and action.

We are not fighting young people

We are fighting for them



What to Expect

This will be a powerful and purposeful evening including:

  • Praise and worship
  • Prayer for young people, families and communities
  • Prophetic encouragement
  • Testimony and hope-filled moments
  • An interactive youth and community leaders panel
  • A call to prayer, fasting, mentoring and partnership
  • Opportunities to connect with others who care about this generation

This is not just another event.

This is a gathering point for people who believe our young people are worth fighting for, praying for, loving, mentoring, protecting and building with.



Who Should Attend?

This event is for:

  • Young people
  • Parents and carers
  • Church leaders
  • Youth leaders
  • Community leaders
  • Teachers and school staff
  • Mentors and volunteers
  • Intercessors and prayer teams
  • Creatives and worshippers
  • Organisations working with young people and families
  • Anyone who carries a burden for the next generation

Whether you are a pastor, parent, youth worker, mentor, community leader, believer, volunteer or someone who simply cares, there is a place for you in the room.



Why This Matters

Our young people do not belong to fear

They do not belong to violence

They do not belong to hopelessness

They do not belong to destructive cycles

They are sons, daughters, leaders, creatives, builders, future parents, future ministers, future entrepreneurs and future change makers

But they need us

They need prayer
They need presence
They need love
They need protection
They need mentoring
They need open doors.
They need a future worth walking towards

This is how we take them back

Together



A Call for Partnership

We are inviting churches, organisations, community groups, youth workers, schools, parents, intercessors and leaders to stand with us.

Partnership may look like:

  • Attending with your church, youth group or organisation
  • Praying and fasting in the lead up to the event
  • Sharing the event with your network
  • Bringing young people, parents and families
  • Volunteering on the night
  • Supporting aftercare and follow-up
  • Joining future conversations around mentoring, family support and youth engagement

This night is the beginning of a wider response

We believe something powerful can happen when the Church and community come together with one heart, one voice and one burden.



Our Declaration

We will not write off this generation

We will not stand back in silence

We will not allow fear to have the final word

We will pray

We will praise

We will stand

We will build

We will take responsibility

Our community, Our children, Our future

Together, we win

Spaces are limited, so please register your place and invite someone who needs to be in the room.

Bring your faith. Bring your burden. Bring somebody with you.
