Revive: Empowered to Walk, Equipped to Witness
"After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly." - Acts 4:31 Catalyst is more than a conference. It's a move of God among Black college students across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. This year, we're coming back to what matters most: Revive. In a culture that pulls us toward comfortable, shallow faith, Jesus is calling us deeper. Deeper into His Word. Deeper into His presence. Deeper into a life empowered by His Spirit. Rooted in Acts 4:31, we'll discover what it means to live with Spirit-filled boldness, grow as true disciples, and boldly share the hope of Christ. Whether you're exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, God is inviting you into something more. This isn't just another conference. It's a call to be revived. To be empowered. To be sent. Let's Revive. |
