Change of Date to 28th February – 1st March 2026
“I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” John 10:10
Have you ever felt that pull inside you? — the sense that you were made for something more?
We invite you to Uprising: “A generation burning for Jesus”, a powerful seminar where you will be equipped to live the miraculous life Jesus promised. This is your invitation to walk boldly in the power of the Holy Spirit, to bring healing where there is brokenness, hope where there is despair, and light into the deepest darkness.
You were never meant for an ordinary life. You were called to move in the same miracles Jesus did — to heal the sick, to raise the broken, to set captives free. At this seminar, you will be set ablaze by the Holy Spirit, and you will learn how unleash that fire upon a world desperate for truth and love.
The world’s economy trades in wealth and fame, but the Economy of Heaven trades in the salvation of souls — you have been entrusted with the most precious currency of all – Love. Every life you touch, every soul you lead to the light, builds the Kingdom of God here on Earth. Heaven grows when hearts are set free, and you are being invited into this glorious work.
This is not just an event. It’s a commissioning. A launching. A moment that could define the rest of your life.
Jesus is calling. Will you answer?

Uprising: A Generation Burning for Jesus
“Uprising” is a transformational weekend for Young adults (ages 18–30) on 28th February – 1st March 2026 at the University of Sussex. It is a powerful seminar to equip all who attend to live the miraculous life Jesus promised. Pope Benedict said at World Youth day 2009, “Let yourselves be guided by the Holy Spirit to be the leaven of new life, salt of the earth and light of the world.” Uprising is a response to that call — a time of Eucharistic worship, dynamic teaching, and Spirit-led prayer, forming young people as missionary disciples for today’s world.
The weekend is free. If you’re aged 18–30 or know someone who is, register at: https://www.abcharismatic.org/uprising-a-generation-burning-for-jesus/
The weekend is free so that it is open to everyone who is called to attend. Can you support this vital work? We’re asking for the generosity of our wonderful Catholic community and your gift will help young people attend who might otherwise miss this opportunity due to financial barriers.
