There is a growing sense that God is inviting us to lay down what we have carried up to this point and to step across a threshold into all that He has prepared for us next. That invitation is both personal and collective, and this Festival is an opportunity to respond to it together.

Catalyst continues to be an apostolic family, committed to starting and strengthening churches that multiply disciples to see God’s Kingdom fill the Earth. We are united by this shared vision, but expressed in many different places, cultures, and contexts across the world. Over this weekend, we will celebrate all that God is doing among us and be stirred again with faith for what is to come.

This Festival will be a time of family, connection, learning, worship, and encountering God together. We want to create space not only to hear from Him, but to realign our lives with His purposes. We believe God is calling us to live with renewed focus, to set aside distraction, and to give ourselves wholeheartedly to His mission. There are many still to be reached with the good news of Jesus, and each of us has a part to play.

One of the things we hold dearly as a movement is that everyone matters in the Kingdom of God. Across Catalyst, we see men and women, people of every background and context, stepping into their calling and playing their part in God’s story. We are stronger together, and we want this weekend to reflect the richness and diversity of the family God is building.

My prayer for this Festival is that each of us would be freshly stirred. That we would encounter God in ways that bring healing, freedom, and renewed purpose. That we would leave with clarity about our next steps and with courage to follow Jesus wherever He leads. And that, together, we would step confidently into this new era, ready to partner with all that God wants to do in us and through us.

Thank you so much for being here. Let’s lean in together, expectant and open, ready to receive all that God has for us.

Have a fantastic weekend.
