Grace and peace, friends,
I believe we are in a different season for the church. Many people still value gathering on Sunday, but they are also hungry for deeper community, discipleship, prayer, and the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in everyday life.
I’ve been asking what it would look like for Awake Nations to help people find that kind of life together, wherever they live.
We are exploring a connected family of online discipleship circles, home gatherings, and local churches. The aim is to help people follow Jesus, grow in the Word and Spirit, care for one another, and reach their communities. We also want to train and support leaders, with meaningful relationships and accountable oversight.
You may already be hosting a home church or small group and would value encouragement and connection. You may sense a call to start one but need help taking the first steps. Perhaps you lead a church and would like to explore partnership. Or you may simply be looking for a community where you can be known, grow as a disciple, and contribute.'
I would love to hear from you. Reply to this email and tell me:
Where you live
Whether you’re part of a church, home gathering, or small group now
What you feel drawn to: joining, hosting, leading, or connecting your church
One question or hope you have about this
If you already belong to a healthy local church, I’m grateful for it. This invitation is not about pulling people away from their church. I’m looking for ways we can strengthen what God is doing, connect people who are isolated, and equip believers to reach those who may never walk into a conventional Sunday service.
We are still listening and shaping the next steps. Your response will help us see where there are people ready to gather and leaders ready to serve.
The harvest is before us. Let’s pray, listen, and build with care.
Grace and peace,
Glenn Bleakney
