AWAKE America Announces City-Wide Houston Rally with Dr. Michael A. Youssef and Special Guest Chris Tomlin
Thousands expected to gather for powerful call to revival.
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, May 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ – Internationally respected Bible teacher Dr. Michael A. Youssef and GRAMMY-winning artist Chris Tomlin will join together for a high-impact evening dedicated to spiritual renewal.
The AWAKE Houston rally will take place on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land, Texas, inviting thousands of Christians to “unite for revival”—seeking God for revival in the church and another great spiritual awakening across the nation.
For Tomlin, who began his ministry leading worship in the Houston area, the rally marks a meaningful homecoming. His participation reflects a shared desire among many church leaders to seek a fresh move of God not only in the Lone Star State but across the country.
AWAKE Houston marks the next major gathering for the growing AWAKE America prayer movement, founded by Dr. Youssef. What began as a grassroots prayer initiative in March 2020 has grown into a massive community of more than 550,000 prayer warriors across all 50 states, now mobilizing in person to call the Church to repentance and revival.
“God is opening a door of opportunity in our nation, and we must walk through it while it is still open,” said Dr. Michael Youssef. “The only hope for America is a return to the Truth of Scripture and a revitalized Church. We are coming to Houston to pray, to worship, and to call on God for a fresh move of His Spirit that will transform our homes and our communities.”
Previous AWAKE Rallies in Boston and Washington, D.C., featured worship with award-winning Christian artists Mac Powell and Tauren Wells, drawing thousands and engaging tens of local churches to reach their cities for Christ.
“The Biblical pattern is clear: Revival precedes awakening,” Dr. Youssef said. “Revival is that moment-by-moment experience of a close, loving, intimate relationship with God. An awakening, however, is when the Holy Spirit draws the unsaved to salvation. When God’s people humble themselves in repentance, God moves by bringing an awakening.”
As AWAKE America gains momentum nationwide, the Houston rally serves as a strategic moment for local believers to seek the face of God and reach their communities for Christ.
