From 4 weeks to 4 Months! June 25-November 7, 2025
My journey to Australia this year all started when one of my School of Revival students, Claire Alexander-Johnston, offered to buy me a plane ticket to Australia before we had even one open door for ministry.
I had originally met Claire when she joined our School of Revival last year. A few years before this, God spoke to her about something called Bethel. She had no idea what Bethel was so she looked it up to discover it was a church in Northern California. Not long later, she headed to Bethel for a conference. On the plane, the Lord invited her to go on a 7 day fast. While in Redding on the 4th day of her fast, struggling, she called out to God for help. That’s when she walked into the Bethel book store and saw my book Fasting for Fire on the shelf. She immediately bought the book, ditched the conference, and walked back to her Airbnb to read the entire book cover to cover that night. The next day she had a profound encounter. This happened over two years ago. She decided to fast on Mondays with me and my School of Revival family because I mentioned we do that in the book. At this point, I had never met her.
Then in early September 2024, when she was going on another fast, she tried to find her Fasting for Fire copy so she could read it concurrently but she couldn't find it anywhere. She went online to Amazon to buy it and for some reason wasn’t able to. Then she went to my website to try and buy it when she saw that our School of Revival was starting that same day. Three clicks later and she had joined our School of Revival and was on a Zoom call that very day. Later, she found the copy of her book right there in her room!
In December of 2024, I got a message from Claire saying that God had put it on her heart to buy me a plane ticket to Australia. I asked her if she had any ministry opportunities for me to do while there. At that point, she didn’t have any open doors for me to minister. Nonetheless, after I prayed about it, I felt a yes to come.
As the time to go approached, a pastor in our online Revival Leader’s Network asked if I would come over to Australia to speak at a conference in July. He had no idea I was already planning to be there. I told him I could do the conference and that he didn’t even need to buy me a plane ticket because I was already going to be in the nation at that exact time. I started to realize that one way or another, God was getting me to Australia this year. I am so thankful for the many yeses of beautiful saints in the Body of Christ who partnered along the way to help make a way for me to be in the nation for this assignment.
The Glory will come through the Eastern Gate | Byron Bay
The first ministry engagement I had in the nation was at Claire’s Saturday night Hosting His Presence worship encounter on June 28, 2025 in Byron Bay (which hadn’t yet existed when she first invited me). After she led worship so beautifully, I led the room into an encounter by reading through Ezekiel 47. When I got to the part where it talks about how the waters flowing from the temple rise above the waist, I declared resurrection life over promises of God that may have been miscarried or aborted. During that encounter time, one of the founding members of the church was reminded of a prophetic word from the past. When she later went home to find this in her journal, she discovered that the prophetic word God resurrected that night was released on June 28, 1985, exactly 40 years to the date we were there! We were blown away when we heard her story and realized the divine kairos moment God positioned us for. See her testimony in the video above. Kairos is the Greek word used for “time” in the New Testament that can also mean season of acceleration, window of opportunity, or moment of destiny. This was just the beginning of being at the right place at the right time for many more kairos moments to come.
The very next morning, I had the opportunity to speak about revival at Eastgate Church in Byron Bay. Many were weeping in His incoming presence while we waited on God even before I shared my message. I released the testimony of the Welsh Revival. The altar was full of surrendered hearts. There were salvations and a fresh baptism of God’s love and fire was released. This was the beginning first fruits of what we would later begin to see time and time again, as God overshadowed people in His incoming glory and released His fires of consecration.
We believe that from the eastern most gate of the nation in Byron Bay that the glory of God will enter and spread throughout the nation and beyond as it says in Ezekiel 43:1-5: “Then the man brought me to the gate facing east, and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory….The glory of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east. Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.”
Extended Trip
As we focused on ministering in the eastern region of Australia, God began to crash in on our meetings, and more doors began to open to minister. As the momentum in the meetings built, I continued to release the testimony of the Welsh Revival, and I also began to share the testimonies of what we had begun to see happen in Australia. Everywhere we went, we saw God move in a profound and life changing way. We saw consecrated lovers of Jesus lay their lives down at the altar to become yielded vessels for the Lord’s service. In response to the powerful move of God we were experiencing everywhere we went, I decided to extend my trip to partner with what God doing in the nation as this wave of revival continued to build. We even mobilized a 40 day fast to enlist others from around the world to help build on the momentum of what we were seeing and to pray for revival in the Great Southland of the Holy Spirit.
Moriah Chapel Moments
As a revival historian who has studied patterns in revival history for decades now and even have a Ph.D. in it, I noticed similarities of what I had studied in revival history beginning to happen in Australia. I saw the small beginnings of what Evan Roberts may have experienced in the early Moriah Chapel days when a few got saved and he realized what he had been praying his whole life for had begun. I noticed the first fruits of people laying their lives down at that altar in radical consecration to steward the fire and glory of God. Time and time again, we saw the Holy Spirit take over the room and come in His overshadowing glory. We knew we were on the verge of something great. Could be the beginnings of that great Tsunami wave of revival I had been waiting my whole life to ride?
When I originally arrived in Australia, I was supposed to be there for three to four weeks. As God began to move in a special way, I extended my trip multiple times and I ended up riding this wave of the Holy Spirit for over four months, focusing on igniting revival in the eastern region to help midwife this Great Southland of the Holy Spirit to step into its kairos moment. I am so grateful for the many yeses Claire and so many others gave to God that enabled me to ride this epic wave of revival. See what God did in the meetings and some of the testimonies below…
Australia Revival Tour Phase 1: June 25-July 30, 2025
Byron Bay June 28-29, 2025 (mentioned earlier)
Rockhampton July 5-6, 2025
God crashed in powerfully in our leader’s meeting. I threw out my notes and we just dove into the river of Holy Spirit and partnered with what God was doing in ministering His love to His precious saints. Many wept as the overwhelming love of the Father was poured out and resting upon them Was a profound night of experiencing His tangible manifest glory.
Sunday morning, I shared the testimony of the Welsh Revival and many were marked. Then in the evening service, during worship I felt stirred to change my talk so I pivoted to my Less than 20 talk and wow, the Lord moved powerfully!!
There was a marked crossing of the threshold from the carpet to the wood flooring at the altar. Before I even dove into the message and was just preparing people with some testimonies people came up to the altar and laid prostrate before the Lord in total surrender and consecration. More and more came to the altar to step into a lifestyle of consecration to be a revivalist. His fire increased. Spontaneous worship broke out at one point, deliverance too. Then a beautiful lingering in His presence. It was a profound encounter for this community that I will never forget. I am still receiving testimonies from people whose lives have been radically altered from that weekend together.
Melbourne July 10-13, 2025 | Return Conference
On Saturday, I shared about the Moravians and did an altar call for martyrdom where an 11-year-old boy came up for the call! So precious to see even at that tender age young ones all in for Jesus. After the break, I did a teaching on Sustain the Flame and practical ways in how to steward encounters and moves of God in our own hearts and regions. Then Saturday night was one of my favorites when the Holy Spirit completely took over the meeting! I shared my Less than 20 and Welsh Revival talk as people came to the altar throughout the message to consecrate themselves as revivalists. People were getting marked the entire message.
At the end when we were waiting on the Holy Spirit, I felt to ask the keyboardist to play “Oh Lord Your Beautiful” so we could lean into ministering to the Lord. He said he could but that I would have to sing because his microphone wasn’t live. I knew that was not going to happen (LOL!) so as I walked across the altar to try and find him a microphone, I saw my friend Tom already knelt down at the altar. I knew he was the one who was supposed to sing. I handed him the microphone and from his knees at the altar he led us all into Oh Lord You’re Beautiful. It was so special. As I encouraged him to continue leading us in worship, he eventually switched up the song and we took off in a whole other realm. God crashed in and for the next few hours we all worshiped Jesus spontaneously. The band eventually came back up and everyone, including the kids were dancing and singing high praise. The meeting lasted for 5 hours. God even broke out in the kids ministry where many were baptized in the Holy Spirit at the same time. Many later told us that the conference was nothing like they expected but was their favorite one yet!
Sydney July 19-20, 2025
When the meeting officially started, I shared a bit of what God had already been pouring out in Australia in our revival tour and all He had been doing in the regions leading up to that point. Then we just dove into worship. We could feel the tangible hunger in those present and knew there would be more for us all later on. Later on in the set, I came back up to continue ministering and called people up for total consecration as we lingered in His presence. I asked Claire if she had anything to release. A few minutes later came up to share what she felt was on God’s heart for the church and then began to call the church to honor the pastor and cover him in prayer. I walked over to him and laid a hand on him. Then Felix said, “why not now?” So, I led him to the middle of the room, and we all gathered around him. Then his father came, and with tears streaming down his cheeks, began to pray bold prayers and call out the gold in his son. It was powerful! Felix continued to lead the charge in blessing him. Then another one felt to raise up his arms as those did for Moses when Joshua was on the battle ground. We all continued to lavish Josiah with prayers. It was a significant moment. Something had happened that night and we wait in expectancy to see the fruit that will abound.
Another crazy thing that happened at Zion church in Sydney is that someone I had done some writing coaching with nearly 5 years ago and who did Writing in the Glory actually goes to this church and was releasing his book that exact same weekend God had brought me there. I had the honor and opportunity, along with the church, to surround and bless and launch him on Sunday July 20, 2025 at church as he stewards and celebrates this book that was being released that very weekend entitled Dear Unity.
Tasmania July 24-28, 2025
It was such a treat to minister together with one of my spiritual fathers Mark Brookes and also alongside the Bethel & BSSM family. On the Saturday afternoon I shared about the Welsh Revival and Azusa Street Revival. In this conference titled Heavy Rain, as I was sharing about William J. Seymour, we could literally hear heavy rain pouring down on the room of the conference center. It was wild! Then I did a call for revivalists and those who would be willing to pay the price to see God move in their region. So beautiful to see so many surrendered hearts.

PHASE 2 Rest and Worship in Byron Bay (August)
In August, we focused on Claire’s Hosting His Presence Encounter Nights in Byron Bay and resting in preparation for the next phase of our journey. We also called a 40 day fast for Australia and began to mobilize over 140 people from around the world who would join us on this fast for the Great Southland of the Holy Spirit to step into its Kairos moment and revival as well as prepared to launch my online School of Revival.
PHASE 3: The 4o Day Fast + Lighting Fires
40 for Australia Fast: September 1-October 10, 2025
Initially I was going to lay low so I could lean into this fast and intentionally pray and rest but then all of a sudden people kept hearing about all God had done in previous meetings and invitations began to flood in. I knew if I was going to be able to lean into this intense season of fasting and ministering throughout, that I would need to have my own place and somewhere where I could get rejuvenated. The Lord did a miracle and provided me with a beach house a block away from the beach for a discounted price where I could lean into this season wholeheartedly. A month or two before I needed this, God told the owner to take it off of Airbnb and she didn’t know why. Well, God knew and had prepared the way for me and I am so grateful for Lynda and Andrew providing this space for a very small portion of what they could have gotten out of it. I was able to do sunrise beach walks nearly every morning and pray and worship in the glory of His beautiful creation.
Claire, a London transplant to Australia for decades now and married to an Australian, Teresa, an Italian who God brought to Byron Bay, and myself, a California Revival Historian, all committed to do the 40 day fast together. We met nearly daily either to do the Lighthouse walk, take communion at the eastern most point and declare Ezekiel 43 that the glory of the Lord will enter in through the eastern gate, or we worshiped and prayed together with Claire leading on her keyboard. It was so powerful to do this fast in a nation and for a nation with others in person as well as the School of Revival family doing it together and 140 others from around the world partnering in this midwifing of a nation. It was totally supernatural to be on this fast while ministering weekly and pouring out and there’s no way I could have done this journey without God providing through the body of Christ every step of the way and the gift of Claire joining me for many of the ministry trips in addition to doing the fast herself.
Fire Church Brisbane and Fire Church Sunshine Coast August 31, 2025
Such a powerful time ministering in both of these Fire churches in the same day. God crashed in and marked many with His fire and love.
Melbourne: Sanctuary Church September 7, 2025
I flew back to Melbourne to minister at Sanctuary Church on Father’s Day and released the testimony of the Brownsville Revival. God crashed in and led the few remaining at the altar at the end into spontaneous worship. Was so beautiful to behold Jesus in that space and in the well of revival of what God had done years before.
Noosa: Hillsong Noosa September 14, 2025
God opened a door for us to minister at Hillsong Noosa which we were so excited to have the opportunity to sow into this stream. I ministered Sunday morning on 2 Kings 4 and the story of the widow with the multiplication of oil and what it looks like to be a yielded vessel. Many came forward to the altar to be yielded vessels and be filled with fresh oil.
Laura, one of the pastors, said this: “We just want to say thank you for coming on Sunday. What an outpouring of God’s Spirit! Thank you for teaching His people a new way to worship, to give their all, no matter what it costs. It’s been my and our hearts cry for an outpouring. I saw so much of this in Africa, miracles, revivals…but our hearts have been for Noosa to let loose and let God! I am still so undone by what God did on Sunday – I keep sobbing, full of joy and absolutely bursting with the fire of Jesus. The messages are still flooding in from people whose lives where impacted. Our King is on the move. All glory to Jesus!”
Sydney: Zion Church and Harvest Time September 21, 2025
I flew back to Sydney to continue supporting Zion church in what God poured out the first time I was there in July. It was powerful calling them to step into their callings by opening up the microphone at the end of the session and having them declare what they are born for. Something was broken up in the room. At Harvest Time that night after a Q&A time with their staff, we dove into worship and then I shared more about revival. Then at the altar there was a fresh baptism of fire and consecration taking place where His heavy weighty glory was resting upon people powerfully.
Bellingen: House of Hope & Nambucca Valley CLC September 27-28, 2025
In Nambucca after waiting on the Lord and ministering where God crashed in, we found out that the exact Sunday we were there was their first Sunday in 40 years where they changed the name of their church to Qavah which means to wait in expectancy on God!
Tweed Heads: The Gathering ministry schooL September 29, 2025
The session started after worship with us waiting on God in His presence. Many began to weep as His presence increased and rested upon us. When I finally began to share about revival and called people forward for a call as a revivalist or fresh consecrated yes to Him, the entire ministry school came up to the altar!!! Not one student remained in the audience. It was powerful to see these students who are already all in for Jesus, step out to enter into even deeper waters of the Holy Spirit and increased fires of consecration.
Justin, the director of the school sent me this message: “Such a great time. It was life changing for many of the young adults. That’s the most they’ve ever encountered the Lord and they feel like they’ve been marked by God for this next season. One of the guys said he doesn’t think he spoke much English until after lunch because he couldn't stop speaking in tongues the whole time!”
Lismore: The Collective Unlimited October 3, 2025
We ended the evening at the altar lingering in His presence and singing songs of adoration to the king of kings.
Goldcoast: The Church GC October 5, 2025
This is a meeting I will never forget. Also day 35 of our fast. Worship was fire. There was a palpable hunger in the room. God began to break out as we lingered in His presence. Then during the meeting, people began to come up to the altar in fresh surrender to lay down their lives for the cause of Christ. I barely got to my message and had to cut it in half because God was on the move. Was a profound and powerful life changing day for many. Praise God.
One of the pastors Liz Webber said of the meeting that, “Today was honestly one of the most powerful meetings I’ve ever been in. I am marked by God for life. Thank you Jen for your ministry, our church will never be the same.”
Orange: Revival Conference + Open Heavens Church October 9-12
Years before, God spoke to Ruanna, one of the pastors, and put it in her heart to have me be a part of their first conference whenever they had their church. When she got my email newsletter stating that I was extending my trip to Australia, she hadn’t even realized I was there. She immediately reached out to invite me to be a part of their first ever conference. Some of the youth had come from camp straight into our revival conference. Micah, 13 years old, who has a Billy Graham anointing on his life, on Sunday morning for church, got up early and rode 8km to church on his bike just in case his family was going to be late because he didn’t want to be late or miss anything.
Micah’s sisters and him began weekly fasting. They have also been doing street outreaches as well. Micah and some of the kids from camp started a daily prayer group at recess time at their school where they have had 15-20 people everyday for the first week. Micah’s sister Willow, age 15, during one of the meetings, asked God for a word about a country in the world He might be leading her to. She felt Him say Malawi. She then felt Him say Tumbuka. As soon as the meeting was over, she looked it up and discovered that Tumbuka was actually a people group in Malawi. After never having heard of Tumbuka, and not even knowing where Malawi was, the following week the book she opened up to read was all about the Tumbuka people! In a couple months her and her family are heading on a mission trip with YWAM to Zambia where there are also some Tumbuka people there.
“At first I thought it was so different to what I have experienced. Intentional time with the Lord, not just talking about the Lord. I had so many downloads and words from God that it is hard to know where to start. He spoke into pushed aside giftings like intercession, previous prophesies about art ministry and future relationships, as well as the dream to live in France. He encouraged me through repentance regarding aborted dreams from 40 months ago, and breathed on them again. I was activated in reading and passion for the Lord, during fasting and the conference. A barrier was broken that was hindering me entering into His presence. I have experienced electricity twice, with also the burning mark or fire on the back of my neck, fire in my hands and the weight of His presence. He answered a heart cry in regards to the healing ministry of John G. Lake and Cal Pierce…I gained a boldness and am opening praying for people during work and in my every day. I am also sharing with anyone what God is doing and saying. I am also hearing His voice clearer. I feel I have stepped out of myself and into Him. My friends who attended also walked away with clear plans and strategies.” -Tanya Frazier
“Over the weekend I feel like I learned complete surrender and willingness to give up everything for Jesus and being in His presence. There’s no going back. I have no idea why, but one of the times I was lying down, God reminded me of a flatmate I had when I was 18. And I was so broken back then. And she said to me, “when you get famous and are traveling the world, can I carry your suitcase? We laughed at the time. But sometime over the weekend God reminded me of that funny conversation and I sobbed and told Him that I say yes to all that He has! I felt it was an incredibly important moment to remember that from so long ago. Yes Jesus! I learned to sit at His feet and the work can wait. Be ready, be prepared and prioritize sitting at His feet. I also learned that I know absolutely nothing about God. And I don’t need to. I come expectant, but have no expectations for what He might do or say. I also know that I don’t need to fully understand what He is doing or saying because He knows, and that’s all that matters. I am clay in His hands.”
-Sarah
SeaCoast Church Ballina October 19, 2025
Powerful time of many surrendering at the altar. What a special community. The pre-prayer time was packed with hungry burning ones!
YWAM Byron Bay October 21, 2025
So special to pray for one young man to receive Jesus as His Lord and Savior at the end of the meeting!!
Eastgate Church Byron Bay October 26, 2025
Such a sweet time to be prayed out from my home church in Byron who prayed for me by name when I was out preaching at other churches. Such a special family!
October 31 Welsh Revival Encounter Night at the Church GC + November 2, 2025
One girl felt electricity in her ankle, stomach, and hand and felt God heal her sprained ankle, stomach problems, and finger. Her husband had his first face to face encounter with Jesus and saw the fire in His eyes.
In the Sunday meeting, I shared how to steward and sustain the flame. Several came up to confess their sins and bring things into the light to get freedom. One woman just flew in a few hours before and came to the meeting and got marked with birthing new things, ministries to come.
From one yes to a plane ticket to Australia when we had zero open doors to one of the most fruitful ministry seasons of my entire life, it’s Australia’s time! So blessed to pour out and believe for revival for the Great Southland of the Holy Spirit in its kairos moment! Until next time!!
