On 13 June 2026, the Body of Christ will converge on the Blacktown Showgrounds for a day of worship, prayer, and activation. Pentecost 26: Australia Arise is a strategic gathering designed to launch a decade of harvest.
A pivotal initiative is underway to shake the nations, promote genuine revival, and ignite a fresh fire of evangelism across the globe. Driven by a vision to impact the world with the power of the gospel, this historic endeavour is mobilising a massive coalition to fulfil the Great Commission through unprecedented global partnership.
The ultimate target is to see a global awakening through simultaneous gospel crusades happening around the world. Under the banner of Pentecost26, this strategic mission is operating with a bold focus: 50 Nations, 50 Cities, 50 Crusades, and 5 Weeks. Our goal is to win 1 million souls for Jesus.
The History: From Latin America to the World
The seeds of this global movement were planted through a vision of cross-ministry collaboration. Evangelist Alejandro Arias, inspired by the collaborative initiatives and mass crusades conducted by the Global Network of Evangelists (GNE) in Africa, began strategic conversations with Werner Nachtigal, the president of the GO Movement. The goal was to replicate that high-impact, cooperative model in Latin America during “GO” — their global evangelism month.
This partnership birthed a powerful proof of concept:
May 2023: After choosing Colombia as a pilot nation, gospel crusades were launched across 10 different cities. More than 100,000 people were reached, with over 10,000 registered decisions for Christ.
May 2024 Launch: The initiative expanded to the whole continent. A coordinated effort deployed more than 15 evangelistic teams across Latin America, executing 14 crusades that reached 100,000 people and secured 20,000 recorded decisions.
2025 Global Expansion: The vision grew to target 25 major cities across 25 nations in 5 continents. More than 300,000 people were reached, resulting in over 100,000 recorded salvations.
Pentecost26 represents the next phase of this trajectory, scaling the proven Latin American framework into a fully global phenomenon.
Crusade Timeline & Flexibility
The simultaneous global crusades will take place from Passover to Pentecost, with some extending well into the year. To maximise local impact whilst maintaining operational flexibility, campaigns are structured as follows:
Standard Crusades: Typically structured to last between 2 and 3 days.
Extended Campaigns: Select locations will host specialised, high-impact 5-day crusades.
Local Church Engagement: Teams will also have the opportunity to minister in local churches on Sunday mornings throughout the campaign.
The Ultimate Vision
Pentecost26 is a unified, global front designed to bridge international ministries with localised, passionate leadership. The ultimate prayer is that this initiative will successfully spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, spark an enduring flame of revival, and witness millions of individuals make the life-altering decision to follow Christ.
Feature Event — Pentecost 26: Australia Arise
As part of this global momentum, a historic meeting — Australia Arise — is taking place in Sydney, Australia. On 13 June 2026, the Body of Christ will converge on the Blacktown Showgrounds for a day of worship, prayer, and activation. Marking the 420th anniversary of the declaration of Australia as the “Great South Land of the Holy Spirit”, Pentecost 26: Australia Arise is a strategic gathering designed to unify the church and launch a decade of harvest.
The celebration will run from 12 pm to approximately 9 pm. The day will feature incredible worship teams, national prayer leaders, and a dynamic team of international speakers delivering a powerful gospel message.

After Germany demolished Curaçao 7-1 at the 2026 World Cup, players from both teams prayed together in a remarkable moment. But Christian faith and prayer runs far deeper in the Curaçao team than that one glimpse might indicate.
The ABC has at long last published a legal critique of the Giggle v Tickle ruling after years of biased coverage that included calling Roxanne Tickle a “transgender woman”.
Labor and the Greens have blocked two bills seeking to restore sex-based definitions to the Sex Discrimination Act, refusing even to allow parliamentary debate — an extraordinarily rare move that raises questions about the government's confidence in its own position on gender identity.
When two massive earthquakes devastated Venezuela on 24 June, killing thousands and displacing millions, it was Christian aid organisations that arrived before most overseas aid, with field hospitals, food, water, and medical teams. Yet Christian relief work remains largely unrecognised by a world that sometimes views it with suspicion.
Vicki Derderian was denied a heart transplant despite holding a valid medical exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine, so she sought treatment overseas — where she was deemed eligible. Fighting Australia's medical system with dignity and grace, she passed earlier this year, but her example of courage and faith remain.
Olympic gold medals, world records, and international fame — and yet it was none of those things that gave Stephanie Rice what she was really searching for. Three years on from a life-changing decision to follow Jesus Christ, Australia's celebrated swimmer says she has finally found it.
