Christians gather for fiery revival event in Orlando, Florida

Florida is known for its year-round hot temperatures, but the weather isn’t the only thing heating up in Orlando. The spiritual atmosphere is also growing fiery hot. On September 9, 2023, Christ for all Nations concluded a three-day revival event called Fire Conference Orlando Florida at the Orange County Convention Center. Thousands of believers hungry for the presence of God, gathered to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, worship Him, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. In addition to hosting some well-known keynote speakers and gifted musicians, the conference drew many by offering free admission and a free kids program.

Among the passionate attendees was Global Awakening’s School of Supernatural Ministry graduate, Kristi Zilly. According to Zilly, Orlando has become a hot spot for followers of Jesus. She said God recently called her to live here, to soak in His presence, and that between two prominent ministries in the area (Christ for all Nations and Jesus Image) she has quickly met many like-minded believers.

Nikki Roland, another attendee, drove over eight hours to make the round trip from Fort Myers, Florida to Orlando with her 2 young children. She said that it’s important to her family to immerse their kids in the things of God, and that the coinciding kids conference played a big role in her decision to come to the event.

Revivals, crusades, and other large-scale meetings have been a long standing dimension of charismatic Christian culture. In 1995, Florida was home to the Brownsville Revival of Pensacola. The late Reinhard Bonnke and his predecessor Daniel Kolenda, who is the current president of Christ for all Nations, have been instrumental in revivals across Africa. With growing ministries like Christ for all Nations and Jesus Image attracting many believers to central Florida, could Orlando be the next place for a Holy revival?
