Welcome to this week’s Prayer and Revival Report. We are witnessing a global "shaking" that is driving believers back to the secret place. From the 24-hour prayer watches in South Africa to the "Quiet Revival" trending across the UK and the prophetic outpourings in Nigeria, the Holy Spirit is moving in diverse and powerful ways.
Here are the key stories of prayer and revival from the last week.
1. The Tide is Turning: South Africa’s 90-Day Prayer Movement
The News: On 23 February 2026, the national initiative "The Tide Is Turning" reached a critical milestone in its mission to provide 24-hour prayer coverage across South Africa. The movement has successfully mobilised thousands of intercessors to "occupy" every hour of the day in a 90-day vigil.
Summary: Organised by the Father’s Heart ministry, this movement seeks to address the nation’s social and spiritual challenges through unified, persistent intercession. By breaking down denominational walls, the initiative has created a "spiritual canopy" over the country, with participants reporting a renewed sense of hope and community resilience as they petition for a decisive shift in the national atmosphere.
Practical Application: Consider committing to a specific "watch" or "prayer slot" in your own schedule this week. Revival often begins with the discipline of consistent, sacrificial prayer. Whether it is 15 minutes or an hour, setting a consistent time to pray for your nation can align your heart with God’s purposes for your community.
2. The "Quiet Revival" Survey to be Re-Run Amid Growing Interest
The News: On 24 February 2026, the Religion Media Centre highlighted that polling organisation YouGov and the Bible Society are planning a follow-up to the "Quiet Revival" study. This comes in response to a significant surge in church attendance and spiritual curiosity among demographics previously considered "unreachable".
Summary: The original report suggested a massive increase in spiritual openness, particularly among young men and those disillusioned with post-truth culture. While some traditional metrics vary, the data points toward a "thirst for knowledge" and a 56% rise in attendance in certain sectors between 2018 and 2024. The new study aims to verify if this momentum is evolving into a sustained national awakening.
Practical Application: Prepare your local church or small group to welcome "seekers" who are entering with high theological curiosity. Ensure you have clear pathways for discipleship and Bible-based formation to help new believers ground their recent spiritual experiences in the solid foundation of the Word.
3. Prophetic Revival Gathering: "God of Answers" in Ibadan
The News: Prophet Samuel Adebayo Ojo and the Freedom Apostolic Revival International Ministry (FARIM) announced the "Crossover & Oru Àṣírí" revival programme, set to begin on 26 February 2026, following a week of intense preparation and anticipation across Nigeria.
Summary: This three-day event, themed “God of Answers” (based on Jeremiah 33:3), has become a significant hub for those seeking authentic spiritual encounters and divine direction. The gathering is expected to draw thousands for a season of collective intercession, with a particular focus on the youth and international participants who are travelling to witness the outpouring.
Practical Application: This week, practise the "Call and Answer" principle. Take your most pressing questions or "unsearchable" situations to God in a focused time of prayer, expecting Him to reveal His perspective. Do not just talk to God; wait on Him for the "answers" needed for your current season.
4. Lenten Vigils: A Call to Resilience and Reflection
The News: As the first Sunday of Lent (22 February 2026) passed, major dioceses and ministries issued calls for "courage to resist temptation." In the UK, the Diocese of Guildford held a 10-hour prayer vigil at the Cathedral to support leadership during a season of health challenges and transition.
Summary: This year's Lenten season is being framed as a time for "testing and transition." Rather than just giving something up, the focus has shifted toward "taking something up"—specifically the mantle of intercessory prayer for leaders. The movement emphasises the "resurrection power" that sustains believers during seasons of uncertainty and suffering.
Practical Application: Use this week to practise "presence over persuasion." Instead of trying to fix every problem in your own strength, spend time in silent reflection or liturgical prayer. Allow the Holy Spirit to strengthen your internal "anchor" so you can remain resilient in the face of external trials.
The P3 Hub exists to track the movement of God across the globe. We believe that as we pray, we prepare the way for the King.
