To clearly communicate true freedom and abundant life in the power of the cross, the resurrection, and the ascension of Jesus Christ. We do this through life-transforming events, mentoring, prayer, support for the local church, and the support of like-minded missions worldwide.

We believe the Bible to be the infallible Word of God and that it is the supreme and final authority.

We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary. that He led a sinless life, took upon Himself all of our sins, died on a cross, rose from the dead and ascended, and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our mediator and advocate.

We believe that when you recognize Jesus as your Savior, and submit your life to Him, you are adopted into the family of the living God. You are eternal.

IRREVERSIBLE CHANGE

The events, resources, and ministry decisions of Mission:Uprising have the goal of creating irreversible life-change. Each life is a story, and each of us has the power to change our story by the choices we make. When a man, woman or child comes to one of our events, our goal is that their story will be changed forever, that their life will forever be lived out differently because they have come face-to-face with Jesus Christ.

SETTING HEARTS FREE

At Mission:Uprising, each of us came to a point when we asked, “Is this it? Is this all there is to the Christian life?!” Going to church or a Bible study or a small group wasn't cutting it. We were just “doing church,” and it shook us to the core. What we realized next was that we were not alone. We looked around at the other men and women in our churches and communities and noticed that they were not free at all, but were like us, trapped in the mundane.

Every one of our events lifts up Jesus Christ as the ultimate source of freedom and adventure! It all begins with a true conversational relationship with Jesus, and because we’ve been there, too, we are committed to helping you begin that life-giving dialog.

WALKING WITH GOD

Ask a bunch of Christian people what the phrase “walking with God” means, and the answers would vary greatly. Unfortunately, most would probably give you a list of rules to try to live up to, things to avoid and things that are ok. Someone would inevitably throw out the term “quiet time.”

We believe that walking with God is more than just a to-do or a not-to-do list, or a series of quiet moments. It is intensely personal, but is primarily about finding freedom and life through intimate conversations with God. Jesus Himself was in constant communion with His Father, and His command was simple: “Come, follow Me.” He did not say, “Go, and follow this list of regulations.” At Mission:Uprising events, we ask, “As He stands knocking, what will we miss if we don’t answer?”

THE BIGGER STORY

The band Mercy Me has a lyric in one of their songs that says, “How can I further Your Kingdom when I am so wrapped up in mine?” At Mission:Uprising, we find that most Christians live in a “small story” of day-to-day existence. But God has much more for us...

All of us are part of a story that began thousands of years ago by the Creator of the Universe. As God created heaven and the earth and everything in them, He also created man and woman in His image, each with a unique identity and mission. Our story really begins “in the beginning.”

Everything we do in life should be directly related to the bigger story God has been writing. If we are merely living for ourselves then we will never discover our true calling.

LEADERSHIP

Mission Uprising is led by a community of passionate leaders sharing their gifts, perspectives, and the weight of their lives in one unified voice and direction.

WE LIVE + WORK WITH THE DEEP BELIEF THAT OUR HEARTS ARE GOOD

We are a ministry that believes God’s promise to “remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 11:19) is accomplished by the work of Jesus Christ. Therefore, believers have new, and good hearts. Our very natures have been changed. So we appeal to the deepest and truest parts of one’s being, believing that the deepest, truest desires of a justified follower of Christ are for that which is true, honorable, holy, pure, and beautiful.

HUMILITY, LOVE AND FORGIVENESS

All we have has been given to us as a gift from God.

We remember this and pray that all our dealings with people, whether they be for us or against us, would be marked by genuine humility, love, and forgiveness.

We are all under renovation…

My dear Lord Jesus, I come to you now to be restored in you, to be renewed in you, to receive your love and your life, and all the grace and mercy I so desperately need this day. I honor you as my Sovereign, and I surrender every aspect of my life totally and completely to you. I give you my spirit, soul and body, my heart, mind, and will. I cover myself with your blood—my spirit, soul, and body, my heart, mind and will. I ask your Holy Spirit to restore me in you, renew me in you, and to lead me in this time of prayer. In all that I now pray, I stand in total agreement with your Spirit, and with my intercessors and allies, by your Spirit alone.

[Now, if you are a husband, you’ll want to include your wife in this time of prayer. If you are a parent, you’ll want to include your children. If this doesn’t apply to you, jump to the paragraph after this one.]

In all that I now pray, I include (my wife and/or children, by name). Acting as their head, I bring them under your authority and covering, as I come under your authority and covering. I cover (wife and/or children, by name) with your blood – their spirit, soul and body, their heart, mind and will. I ask your Spirit to restore them in you, renew them in you, and apply to them all that I now pray on their behalf, acting as their head.

Dear God, holy and victorious Trinity, you alone are worthy of all my worship, my heart’s devotion, all my praise, all my trust and all the glory of my life. I love you, I worship you, I trust you. I give myself over to you in my heart’s search for life. You alone are Life, and you have become my life. I renounce all other gods, all idols, and I give you the place in my heart and in my life that you truly deserve. I confess here and now that this is all about you, God, and not about me. You are the Hero of this story, and I belong to you. Forgive me for my every sin. Search me and know me and reveal to me where you are working in my life, and grant to me the grace of your healing and deliverance, and a deep and true repentance.

Heavenly Father, thank you for loving me and choosing me before you made the world. You are my true Father—my Creator, my Redeemer, my Sustainer, and the true end of all things, including my life. I love you, I trust you, I worship you. I give myself over to you to be one with you in all things, as Jesus is one with you. Thank you for proving your love by sending Jesus. I receive him and all his life and all his work, which you ordained for me. Thank you for including me in Christ, for forgiving me my sins, for granting me his righteousness, for making me complete in him. Thank you for making me alive with Christ, raising me with him, seating me with him at your right hand, establishing me in his authority, and anointing me with your Holy Spirit, your love and your favor. I receive it all with thanks and give it total claim to my life—my spirit, soul, and body, my heart, mind and will. I bring the life and the work of Jesus over (wife and/or children, by name) and over my home, my household, my vehicles, finances, all my kingdom and domain.

Jesus, thank you for coming to ransom me with your own life. I love you, I worship you, I trust you. I give myself over to you, to be one with you in all things. And I receive all the work and all of the triumph of your cross, death, blood and sacrifice for me, through which I am atoned for, I am ransomed and transferred to your kingdom, my sin nature is removed, my heart is circumcised unto God, and every claim made against me is disarmed this day. I now take my place in your cross and death, through which I have died with you to sin, to my flesh, to the world, and to the evil one. I take up the cross and crucify my flesh with all its pride, arrogance, unbelief, and idolatry (and anything else you are currently struggling with). I put off the old man. I ask you to apply to me the fullness of your cross, death, blood and sacrifice. I receive it with thanks and give it total claim to my spirit, soul and body, my heart, mind and will.

Jesus, I also sincerely receive you as my life, my holiness and strength, and I receive all the work and triumph of your resurrection, through which you have conquered sin and death and judgment. Death has no mastery over you, nor does any foul thing. And I have been raised with you to a new life, to live your life – dead to sin and alive to God. I now take my place in your resurrection and in your life, through which I am saved by your life. I reign in life through your life. I receive your life – your humility, love and forgiveness, your integrity in all things, your wisdom, discernment and cunning, your strength, your joy, your union with the Father. Apply to me the fullness of your resurrection. I receive it with thanks and give it total claim to my spirit, soul and body, my heart, mind and will.

Jesus, I also sincerely receive you as my authority, rule, and dominion, my everlasting victory against Satan and his kingdom, and my ability to bring your Kingdom at all times and in every way. I receive all the work and triumph of your ascension, through which you have judged Satan and cast him down, you have disarmed his kingdom. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to you, Jesus. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to you, and you are worthy to receive all glory and honor, power and dominion, now and forevermore. And I have been given fullness in you, in your authority. I now take my place in your ascension, and in your throne, through which I have been raised with you to the right hand of the Father and established in your authority. I now bring the kingdom of God, and the authority, rule and dominion of Jesus Christ over my life today, over my home, my household, my vehicles and finances, over all my kingdom and domain.

I now bring the authority, rule and dominion of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the fullness of the work of Christ, against Satan, against his kingdom, against every foul and unclean spirit come against me. (At this point you might want to name the spirits that you know have been attacking you). I bring the full work of Jesus Christ against every foul power and black art, against every human being and their warfare. I bind it all from me in the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and in his Name.

Holy Spirit, thank you for coming. I love you, I worship you, I trust you. I sincerely receive you and all the work and victory in Pentecost, through which you have come, you have clothed me with power from on high, sealed me in Christ. You have become my union with the Father and the Son, become the Spirit of truth in me, the life of God in me, my Counselor, Comforter, Strength, and Guide. I honor you as my Sovereign, and I yield every dimension of my spirit, soul and body, my heart, mind and will to you and you alone, to be filled with you, to walk in step with you in all things. Fill me afresh. Restore my union with the Father and the Son. Lead me in all truth, anoint me for all of my life and walk and calling, and lead me deeper into Jesus today. I receive you with thanks, and I give you total claim to my life.

Heavenly Father, thank you for granting to me every spiritual blessing in the heaven lies in Christ Jesus. I claim the riches in Christ Jesus over my life today, my home, my kingdom and domain. I bring the blood of Christ over my spirit, soul, and body, my heart, mind and will. I put on the full armor of God – the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel, helmet of salvation. I take up the shield of faith and sword of the Spirit, and I choose to wield these weapons at all times in the power of God. I choose to pray at all times in the Spirit.

Thank you for your angels. I summon them in the authority of Jesus Christ and command them to destroy the kingdom of darkness throughout my kingdom and domain, destroy all that is raised against me, and to establish your Kingdom throughout my kingdom and domain. I ask you to send forth your Spirit to raise up prayer and intercession for me this day. I now call forth the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout my home, my family, my kingdom and my domain, in the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, with all glory and honor and thanks to him.
