We are believing for a transforming revival in the UK—a mighty outpouring of God’s love, power, healing, and salvation. Hope is rising in His church as we yield to Him in prayer and worship, trusting that He will move in ways only He can.

In recent years, Open Heaven has gathered believers to encounter God, be refreshed, and be equipped to bring His Kingdom wherever they go. Now, we sense God leading us into a time of awakening—where His church is stirred afresh, and our nation is ignited in revival.

This conference will be a time of worship, encounter, intercession, and stirring teaching that fuels a fresh hunger for revival. We believe you will leave with renewed faith and expectation for God to move powerfully in our land.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Steve & Juliet are the Senior Pastors of Chroma Church in Leicester. Steve was saved as a teenager during a mission to his small village in the 80’s. At their core Steve and Juliet are missionaries and church planters, believing their lives and calling is to be the change in God’s pocket…They are passionate about pursuing the Lord’s presence and seeing people come to know Jesus. If the purpose of the church is to love God, the mission of the Church is to unashamedly proclaim the Gospel of the risen Jesus Christ to our city & nation. Their prayer is that the Church will be the continuing story of the unfolding Kingdom of God into Acts 29 and beyond.
