Event Overview:

CMI Awakening 2026 is a pivotal moment in the story of campus ministry. Across North America, a generation of students is awakening to God’s truth. Hearts that were once distant are turning, seeking hope, purpose, and the life-transforming power of Jesus Christ. As campus ministers, we have been entrusted with a unique opportunity to meet them at this decisive moment and see revival take root where it matters most.

This gathering will inspire and challenge you to dream bigger, think strategically, and move with boldness. Vision will be ignited, faith will be strengthened, and practical tools will be released so that every campus with an apostolic witness becomes a place where the Kingdom of God advances. It is a time to rise above the ordinary, lift up the name of Jesus, and see His power move in tangible ways across classrooms, dorms, and lecture halls.

The harvest is ready. The fields are white. The hour is urgent. “Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest” (John 4:35).

CMI’ers, this is our season. Let us unite, step forward in faith, and lead the charge in advancing God’s Kingdom on campuses across North America.

We are excited to announce the first of our Awakening 2026 speakers:

• Tim Gaddy
• Todd Nichols
• Levi Jensen

More dynamic voices will be added to this lineup as we approach the event—stay tuned!
