Revival Groups
14 days. 14 steps. One mission: show them Jesus.
You Are a Missionary!
You don’t need to be perfect.
You don’t need to have all the answers.
Jesus is simply looking for your YES.
You already have a mission field: your school, your team, your friends, your family, your workplace. Revival Groups are about taking action together! We want to destroy the fear around evangelism and for you to see that being a witness for Jesus can be simple, natural, and part of everyday life.
13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”
Directions
- Find your Revival Group: at least 2 people.
- Decide when you will meet in person or virtually each day for at least 15 minutes.
- Commit to 14 consecutive days together.
Your 15-Minute Revival Group
Minutes 1–5: Look Back
Discuss how your previous action step honestly went.
Minutes 5–10: Look Out
Pray for your school, friends, family, coworkers, teachers, coaches, etc. who don’t have a relationship with Jesus.
The goal is to catch God’s heart for them!
Minutes 10–15: Look Forward
Discuss the next action step and pray for each other to move in boldness, compassion, and conviction.
15 minutes is the minimum: Go longer if you want!
After 14 Days
As a group, invite the Lord to direct you on what is next. Possible next steps:
- Redo the 14 days with different topics
- Continue meeting and change the format
- Start a group initiative to creatively share the Gospel with others
Action Steps
One step each day. Open today’s step, take it, then talk about it with your Revival Group.
Days 1–7: Start the Conversation
Find someone and tell them something you genuinely appreciate about them.
Example
Go up and tell someone something that you notice about them that would build them up!
Goal
Look for opportunities to build someone up.
“Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Do something helpful for someone without being asked.
Example
Notice your teacher is carrying a bunch of things and say: “Here, let me help you with that.”
Or clean up after practice when everyone else is leaving.
Or ask a friend: “Do you need help with that?”
Goal
Look for something you can do instead of waiting for someone to ask.
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
— Mark 10:45
Invite someone to hang out, eat lunch, practice, study, or do something with you.
Example
If you’re going to get lunch: “Hey, we’re grabbing food after school. You should come with us.”
Or: “We’re hanging out Friday night. Want to come?”
Goal
Be intentional about including people in your life.
“Accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.”
— Romans 15:7
Find someone who might feel alone, overlooked, or left out and intentionally talk to them.
Example
You see someone sitting alone at lunch. Instead of walking past them, sit down and say: “Hey, mind if I sit here?”
Or if someone is standing by themselves before practice: “Hey, what’s up? How’s your day going?”
Goal
Pay attention to people you might normally overlook.
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
— Luke 19:10
Ask someone how they are really doing and intentionally listen to their response.
Example
Instead of just saying: “How are you?” Ask: “No, seriously—how are you actually doing?”
If they open up, don’t immediately try to fix it. Just listen.
Goal
Show someone that you genuinely care about what is happening in their life.
“Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.”
— Romans 12:15
Find someone you can be generous toward.
Example
Buy your friend their favorite drink and say: “I felt like Jesus wanted me to buy this for you.”
Or say: “I felt like Jesus wanted me to give you ______.”
Goal
Practice generosity and let someone know that God sees them.
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
— Acts 20:35
Bring Jesus up naturally in a conversation that you initiate.
Example
Start a normal conversation with someone: “Hey, what are you up to this weekend?”
After they answer, you could say: “I’m going to youth group. I’ve actually been growing a lot in my faith lately.”
Goal
Get comfortable simply bringing Jesus into normal conversations.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.”
— Romans 1:16
Days 8–14: Take the Next Step
Choose one person and intentionally pray for them.
Example
Before your day: “Jesus, I pray for my friend today. Help them know that You love them. Give me an opportunity to encourage them.”
Then, if you get the opportunity, tell them: “Hey, I’ve been praying for you today.”
Goal
Begin seeing the people around you through God’s eyes.
“I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people.”
— 1 Timothy 2:1
Ask someone if they ever think about God or faith. Let them talk. Don’t feel like you have to have the perfect answer.
Example
You’re hanging out with someone and the conversation gets deeper: “Can I ask you something random? Do you ever think about God or faith?”
If they say yes, ask: “What do you think about it?” Then share where you are in your relationship with Jesus.
Goal
Start a real conversation about faith.
“But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you.”
— 1 Peter 3:15
Ask someone if there is anything you can pray for them. If they say yes, pray for them right there!
Example
A friend tells you they’re stressed about their family. You could say: “I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. Can I pray for you right now?”
Then simply pray: “Jesus, I pray that You would give them peace and help their family. Let them know that You’re with them. Amen.”
Goal
Don’t just tell people you’ll pray for them. Actually pray.
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed.”
— James 5:16
Ask someone what is something they are in need of. Listen to their answer and offer to pray for them—believing that God will meet their need and reveal Himself.
Example
You could simply ask someone: “Hey, is there anything you are in need of?”
If they share something, you could say: “Would you be okay if I prayed for that right now?” Then pray with them.
Goal
Connect someone’s real-life need with the reality of Jesus.
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
— Matthew 7:7
Ask God to show you a specific word of encouragement that someone might need. Share it with someone you feel God drawing you toward.
Example
You feel like someone needs to know that God hasn’t forgotten them. You could say: “This might sound random, but I felt like I should tell you that I don’t think God has forgotten you. What do you think about that?”
Don’t force it. Be humble and let them respond.
Goal
Practice listening to God and encouraging people with what you believe He is saying.
“But one who prophesies speaks to people for edification, exhortation, and consolation.”
— 1 Corinthians 14:3
Go up to someone and simply say: “Jesus loves you and sees you.”
Example
You don’t need to explain it or turn it into a long conversation. Just be bold enough to say it and let them respond however they want.
Goal
Practice confidently sharing the love of Jesus with someone.
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8
