  • Revival To Achieve Our Purpose – A Message from the ACF East Region President

    Revival To Achieve Our Purpose – A Message from the ACF East Region President

    The African Christian Fellowship was established a little less than fifty years ago by the unction of the Holy Spirit during a wave of spiritual revival that swept the globe in the 1970s and 1980s. Since then, the Lord has established ACFUSA from coast to coast in the United States and across the African continent. The generation that founded ACFUSA has been used by God in remarkable ways to spread the gospel of salvation, compassionately giving their time and resources.
    As many of these first-generation believers who built ACFUSA are now aging and retiring, it is crucial that their zeal and burden for this fellowship be passed on to the next generation. Unfortunately, the lukewarmness and weeds of slothfulness sown by the enemy have hindered growth and commitment in ACFUSA, just as we see in the global Church today.
    The key phrase in the vision of ACFUSA is that we shall be “a thriving Christian community. To see this vision fulfilled, we need revival and restoration in ACFUSA and in the wider body of Christ. We need the Lord to revive and restore us in power and dominion so that we can fulfill our vision: that ACF shall be a thriving Christian community that models integrity, excellence, and compassion to mobilize and empower Africans worldwide to impact their generation and Africa.

  • Our Corporate Journey To Revival

    Our Corporate Journey To Revival

    Our Corporate Journey to Revival: Preparing for Operation: Revive & Restore

    “After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.” — Hosea 6:2

    A Journey We Take Together

    Revival doesn’t happen overnight. It is born in the fertile soil of expectant hearts, watered by persistent prayer, and cultivated through intentional preparation. As the African Christian Fellowship (ACF) East Region, we are embarking on a sacred journey—a corporate pilgrimage of spiritual awakening that will culminate in our July 2026 conference, “Operation: Revive & Restore,” in Marlborough, Massachusetts.

    This is not merely an event we are planning; it is a divine encounter we are preparing our hearts to receive. And we invite you, our beloved guests and friends, to walk this transformative path with us.

    The Call to Revival

    There comes a moment in the life of every believer, every fellowship, every generation, when the Spirit of God issues a clarion call: “Return to Me, and I will return to you.” We believe we are standing in such a moment. The prophet Hosea’s ancient words pulse with fresh urgency for our time: God promises to revive us, to restore us, to bring us into the fullness of His presence.

    But revival requires something of us. It demands that we position ourselves in the posture of readiness, that we prepare the ground of our hearts, that we align our corporate life with Heaven’s rhythm. Over the coming months, ACF East Region will be engaging in intentional activities designed to keep the flame of expectation burning brightly in every heart.

    Our Threefold Preparation

    Revival Saturdays & Sundays (Monthly)

    Beginning this month, all ACF East chapters will consecrate their first Saturday and Sunday gatherings to the theme of revival. These won’t be ordinary services—they will be sacred appointments where we corporately seek God’s face, crying out for His reviving touch upon our lives, our families, our communities, and our generation.

    Imagine the collective power of every ACF East chapter, across multiple states, lifting unified prayers for revival on the same weekend each month. This is the beauty of corporate spiritual discipline—when many hearts beat as one before the throne of grace.

    The Revival Epistles (Bi-weekly)

    In the tradition of the apostolic letters that strengthened the early church, our chapter presidents will pen “Revival Epistles”—pastoral letters that will encourage, challenge, and inspire us on this journey. These bi-weekly messages will arrive in your inbox like spiritual vitamins, nourishing your soul and keeping the vision of revival alive in your daily walk.

    Each epistle will be a love letter from shepherd to flock, reminding us of who we are, whose we are, and where we’re headed. They will be published on our conference website, creating a growing treasury of wisdom and encouragement that will serve as spiritual waymarkers on our journey.

    Words of Revival (Weekly)

    Our youth and young adults will lead the charge in “Words of Revival,” a weekly short-form video series that captures the fresh, authentic voices of the next generation. In these videos, young believers will share their personal definitions of revival and inspire viewers to join us at the conference.

    There is something profoundly powerful about hearing revival articulated through younger voices—it reminds us that God is raising up a generation hungry for His presence, unwilling to settle for religion without relationship, ceremony without encounter.

    An Invitation to the Journey

    Whether you are a longstanding ACF member or a guest joining us for the first time, you are invited into this sacred preparation. Revival is never meant to be experienced in isolation; it is a corporate awakening that transforms communities and impacts nations.

    As we journey together toward July 2026, we encourage you to:

    • Participate fully in the monthly Revival Saturdays and Sundays at your local chapter
    • Engage deeply with the bi-weekly Revival Epistles, allowing them to shape your prayers and expectations
    • Share widely the weekly Words of Revival videos, spreading the hunger for God’s presence
    • Pray fervently for a genuine move of God across the East Region and beyond

    Living in His Presence

    The promise of Hosea 6:2 culminates in a breathtaking purpose: “that we may live in his presence.” This is the ultimate goal of all revival—not merely spiritual highs or emotional experiences, but a sustained, transformative life lived in the conscious presence of Almighty God.

    As we prepare our hearts over these coming months, we are not simply counting down to a conference. We are positioning ourselves for an encounter that will mark us, change us, and launch us into a new dimension of Kingdom living.

    The journey to revival begins now. The preparation starts today. The invitation is extended to all.

    Welcome to Operation: Revive & Restore!

    A Note from Your Conference Chair

    Dear ACF Family and Honored Guests,

    It is with  joy and anticipation that I welcome you to Operation: Revive & Restore, the ACF East Region Conference 2026! Mark your calendars in bold—July 2-5, 2026—because something extraordinary is about to unfold in Marlborough, Massachusetts.

    The Perfect Storm of Blessing

    Can we talk about divine timing for a moment? While the world converges on Boston for the 2026 FIFA World Cup (yes, we’re just an hour from the action!), we’re gathering for something even more electrifying—a spiritual World Cup where souls are renewed, hearts are restored, and the presence of God takes center stage.

    Imagine this: The Greater Boston area will be buzzing with energy, alive with excitement, pulsating with international flavor. And right in the middle of it all, 200-300 hungry hearts will assemble at the Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center for four power-packed days of divine encounter. Talk about being in the right place at the right time!

    Why “Operation: Revive & Restore”?

    Because we’re on a mission. This isn’t just a conference; it’s a strategic spiritual operation with a clear objective: personal and corporate transformation.

    The prophet Hosea gives us our marching orders: “After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence” (Hosea 6:2). Notice the progression—revival first, then restoration, culminating in sustained presence. That’s the journey we’re embarking on together!

    Our Mission Objectives:

    Personal Revival & Restoration
    You will leave different than you arrived. Spiritually refreshed. Emotionally healed. Physically renewed. Mentally sharpened. This is your moment to encounter God in a fresh, life-altering way.

    Corporate Revival & Restoration
    ACF East Region is stepping into a new era. Together, we’re believing God for a corporate awakening that will redefine our fellowship, reignite our passion, and reposition us for kingdom impact in our generation.

    Mobilizing a Movement
    We’re gathering 200-300 changemakers, revivalists, intercessors, worshippers, and hungry believers from across the east coast of the US and beyond. When we leave Marlborough, we won’t just carry good memories—we’ll carry fresh fire back to our communities.

    What’s Waiting for You in Marlborough?

    Four days. One location. Unlimited possibilities.

    From Thursday, July 2nd through Sunday, July 5th, you’ll experience:

    • Powerful worship that ushers you into God’s presence
    • Anointed preaching that pierces the heart and illuminates the mind
    • Strategic prayer that shifts atmospheres and opens heavens
    • Authentic fellowship that builds lifelong Kingdom connections
    • Prophetic ministry that speaks to your now and your next
    • Restoration moments that heal wounds you’ve carried too long

    All of this happening at a world-class venue equipped to host our divine encounter in comfort and excellence. The Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center isn’t just our meeting place—it’s our basecamp for revival.

    The Greater Boston Advantage

    And here’s the cherry on top: You’re in the Greater Boston area during one of the most exciting summers in recent history! Before or after the conference, you can:

    • Explore America’s revolutionary history (yes, the Freedom Trail is calling)
    • Sample world-class cuisine from every corner of the globe
    • Experience the electric World Cup atmosphere (Boston is a host city!)
    • Make this a spiritual retreat AND a memorable vacation

    It’s ministry meeting opportunity. Sacred meeting spectacular. Revival meeting celebration.

    2. BLOCK YOUR CALENDAR

    3. SPREAD THE WORD

    4. START PRAYING
      Begin now to pray for Operation: Revive & Restore. Pray for the speakers, the worship team, the logistics, your fellow attendees, and most importantly, for YOUR OWN HEART to be tender and ready to receive.

    A Personal Word

    I’ve been in the faith long enough to recognize a divinely appointed time – times when there is alignment for a shift. This is one such moment. I’m believing God for testimonies that will be told for generations. I’m expecting breakthroughs that will impact our organizations and nations. I’m anticipating encounters that will mark us permanently.

    The question isn’t whether God will show up—He’s already promised His presence. The question is: Will YOU show up ready to receive everything He has for you?

    Hosea 6:2 isn’t just our theme verse; it’s our prophetic promise. God is going to revive us. God is going to restore us. And we will live—truly LIVE—in His glorious presence.

    I cannot wait to see you in Marlborough. I cannot wait to worship alongside you. I cannot wait to witness what God is about to do in our midst.

    Operation: Revive & Restore isn’t just a conference title—it’s a declaration of war against spiritual complacency, emotional stagnation, and corporate mediocrity. It’s our rallying cry. Our battle plan. Our covenant with destiny.

    Are you ready? Because July 2026 is closer than you think, and revival waits for no one.

    Let’s go get everything God has for us!

    With great anticipation and love,
