Ben Fitzgerald

Pastor of the Awakening Church

Australia

Ben Fitzgerald is a passionate lover of Jesus and the senior leader of Awakening Europe and Awakening churches, a movement that champions the Gospel across Europe through stadium events, city-wide outreaches, and training schools. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Pastor Ben met Jesus in an encounter that deeply changed him in 2002 while he lived in deep brokenness. Since then he has lived passionately about one thing – showing the world Jesus in his everyday life and taking the good news of the Kingdom to the nations. He and the team are helping many people be equipped to share the Gospel, plant new churches, and raise up a company of pure worshippers in Europe. Galatians 5:1 says "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." In line with that mission, Ben loves to equip people to live in God's fullness of freedom and identity. He has a deep conviction that the future of nations will be transformed by radical believers living free and proclaiming Jesus boldly.

Europe Revival 2026

Vision, Values, Principles & Background

1. Vision

Europe Revival 2026 exists to create space for a deep encounter with Jesus, where lives are marked by the presence of God and believers are stirred to live a laid-down life for the Gospel across Europe. Our heart is not an event for a moment, but a movement of obedience, love, and surrender that continues long after the gathering ends.

2. Background

The vision for Europe Revival was inspired by the heart, values, and spiritual DNA of Iris Global. It is led by Dominika and Siya Mofele, full-time missionaries with Iris Global, pioneers of the Iris Krakow base in Europe, and founders of the Iris Europe Camps, which became the cradle of the Europe Revival movement.

Many of us encountered God deeply through the ministry of Iris Global — particularly in Africa, Mozambique — where we were marked by His presence, simplicity, radical love for Jesus and for the lost. As Europeans, these encounters awakened a deep hunger to see the same fire burn in Europe. Iris Europe Camps first took place during the COVID season, although the vision itself was born earlier — from a longing to see revival not as a concept, but as lived obedience and love relationship with God. What began as small gatherings of hungry hearts grew into a shared conviction: Europe must encounter Jesus again.

Europe Revival 2026 flows from that same hunger — a response to what God has already been stirring, and an invitation to go deeper together.

3. Core Values

It's All About Jesus

At the heart of Europe Revival is a simple desire: to find God and seek Him all over again. We long for pure and simple devotion to Jesus — not familiarity, not form, but hearts fully turned toward Him. Everything we do flows from a desire to know Him, love Him, and respond to His voice.

Presence Over Program

We intentionally choose presence over structure. Our aim is to create space — a platform — for the Holy Spirit to move freely, for people to encounter God in real and personal ways. We hold our plans, ideas, and agendas loosely, remaining willing to change direction if God leads differently.

Laid-Down Lives

We believe true revival is seen in transformed hearts and lives marked by pure and simple devotion to Jesus. Our prayer is not for momentary emotion, but for lasting fruit — a fresh revelation of the Gospel, lives surrendered in love, and obedience that flows from intimacy with Him. Every encounter with God calls us outward — to serve, love, and carry the Gospel into our cities and nations.

Family and Belonging

Europe Revival is not about performance or image. We value authenticity, humility, and spiritual family — a space where people can come as they are, encounter God, and belong without pressure to perform.

Unity in Diversity

We honor the richness of cultures, nations, and church expressions across Europe. We gather not to promote one stream, but to stand together around Jesus.

Encounter Leads to Mission

4. Our Prayer

Our prayer is that Europe Revival 2026 would be remembered not for its size, but for the depth of God's presence, the softening of hearts, and the sending out of people who say yes to Jesus wherever He leads.
