At the Great Awakening Foundation of New England, we are committed to advancing the Gospel through practical ministry support and spiritual development. Here are the key areas we focus on to inspire, equip, and serve churches and leaders across the region.
1. Prayer Culture
– Core Conviction: Prayer is essential for lasting spiritual fruitfulness in New England.
– Need: Many churches have limited or no prayer ministry in place and their pastors could benefit from learning how to build a culture of prayer.
– Our Response: We offer simple, impactful seminars and books to help churches engage in meaningful prayer.
2. Generosity Seminars
– Core Conviction: Financial challenges often hinder vision, fair pastoral pay, and ministry advancement.
– Need: Pastors may struggle to address financial needs or foster a culture of giving.
– Our Response: We provide online seminars to help pastors grow in fundraising, challenge congregations to give, and build missions-focused generosity.
3. Pastoral Retirement
– Core Conviction: Some churches are ready for new leadership, but pastors nearing retirement cannot afford to step down.
– Need: Aging pastors often remain in leadership longer than they desire due to financial constraints.
– Our Response: We help pastors transition with dignity by offering one-time or monthly retirement gifts to support their transition.
4. Evangelist Support
– Core Conviction: Churches can benefit greatly from hosting evangelists for multi-day events.
– Need: Many churches hesitate to bring in evangelists due to financial concerns or fear of low impact.
– Our Response: We provide financial assistance—either to the church or directly to Assemblies of God evangelists—to make hosting these events more feasible.
5. Spiritual History Tours
– Core Conviction: Southern New England is home to powerful spiritual history, reminding us of what God has done and what He can do again.
– Need: Immersive tours can reignite faith and prayer for revival in this region, the least churched area in America.
– Our Response: We create 3-day small group tours of significant spiritual sites to stir passion and vision for revival.
6. Church Revitalization
– Core Conviction: Many churches have potential for growth but struggle due to various challenges.
– Need: Customized strategies are necessary to breathe new life into struggling churches.
– Our Response: We collaborate with 1-5 churches to develop personalized growth plans, leading them toward revitalization and renewed growth.
We believe God is stirring a fresh movement across New England, and we are honored to play a role in this unfolding story. Join us as we work toward spiritual renewal, stronger churches, and effective ministry throughout the region.
