Voices of Revival Weekly

Hello Internet,

We’re a day late in sending this week’s newsletter. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to say—and in some ways, I still don’t. It’s not for lack of things to share, but for not knowing the best way to articulate it.

This past weekend was the Base Camp Intensive, and wow. Going in, I had concerns. I feared it would turn into a weekend of apologetics. But the Holy Spirit made it abundantly clear that His plan wasn’t apologetics—it was activation and empowerment. We prayed, assembled a team God put on our hearts, and He did everything we asked for and more.

Friday Night

The Friday night service threw out the usual blueprint. The focus was clear: Holy Spirit is alive, near, He is God, He dwells among us, and He longs for communion with us. From the start, we framed the night as a prayer meeting rather than a service. We walked through the Lord’s Prayer line by line, with key leaders exhorting and leading prayer at each section.

At the end, Samuel Cotner gave an impromptu word that ushered in a holy moment of stillness and reverence. In that space, a tongue and interpretation came forth, solidifying the heart of the night. A short word followed, reminding us that the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead lives in us. As we closed, everyone was charged to dwell on Romans 8.

A Heavenly Sound

Many on our team were also present at Pile of Stones, where an unexplainable sound—like altar music—filled the room with no instruments or sound system. The next day, an earthquake struck just across the street. We believed we’d heard the sound of heaven’s throne room.

Before Base Camp, I texted William Highley (who led worship at both gatherings) and shared a thought: Maybe it wasn’t just heaven’s sound, but angels that where present worshiping with us. I told him, “Let’s be ready for whatever God wants to do.”

Sure enough, as Keenan Snider shared on “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” he described a vision he’d seen on arrival—a Jacob’s ladder set over the tabernacle, with angels of the Lord descending and joining us in worship.

Saturday

The Saturday classes carried the same weight. Time and again, the room was filled with what I can only describe as holy stillness—tangible moments where God’s presence was unmistakable. People were activated in spiritual gifts. We saw multiple healings. Believers not only learned how to pray for the sick, but stepped out and prayed for one another—and God moved.

The weekend ended with a Saturday night service, again more prayer meeting than program. We took communion as a community and lingered in another sacred stillness before the final word. The closing message pointed to Jesus, our great High Priest: the finished work of the cross, the Spirit’s empowerment, and a call for God’s people to walk in radical faith.
