Awakening a generation

Limitless Festival 2025: Five days, thousands together, 629 gospel responses

 

Five days that changed everything. Thousands gathered. Jesus moved. In packed venues and quiet corners, young people worshipped, prayed, learned and laughed together. Leaders watched faith come alive. Friends prayed for friends. Hearts were healed and hope rose.

The best way to show it is to let them speak. What follows is their story in their own words. It is only a small slice of a much bigger move. More than 6,000 came, and 629 responded to the gospel. As one youth leader said: “God is stirring something special in this generation! More Lord!” Read on and hear what God did.


“I gave my life to God on day 3 morning and I have felt my life lifted of a burden and now I feel free … I now feel like a new person!”

“From the very first day, it was clear God was on the move. We’ve seen Him at work in the hearts and lives of our young people – healing, restoring, transforming and equipping. We are celebrating that 13 young people have made a first-time commitment to receive God’s forgiveness and follow Jesus!”

“The festival was absolutely incredible, and our youth were so blessed. We had 8 young people attend, and 3 of them gave their lives to Jesus, which was truly amazing to witness. All of us felt the presence of God throughout the weekend, and it was a real privilege to be part of such an inspiring event.”

“Our Youth (all 7 girls!) have just returned from Limitless Festival and they are absolutely buzzing. Two of them made decisions to follow Jesus (!!), and the rest haven’t stopped talking about the encounters they had with God."

“My sister’s asthma, right after I was praying, was healed in an instant, and she’s been perfectly fine ever since.”

“During the service I was filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus showed himself to me through a vision. That night was the night I went down the front and gave my life to Jesus.”


These stories are only the beginning. Please pray for these young people as they grow as disciples, and for the leaders and churches walking with them. If you were there, keep telling your story. If you were not, consider bringing your group next time. Thank you to every leader, volunteer and church. We cannot wait to see what God does next.

Back where his story began
