The 2026 theme

Across our land, something’s stirring

Hungry hearts. A deeper return to Scripture and to persistent prayer. God told the prophet to speak to dry bones, and then call to the breath. When Word and Spirit came together, what was scattered stood up together as a vast army.

In LAUNCH’s 10th year we are gathering leaders around the same mandate. We believe this generation of leaders and disciples will hear the voice of God and stand on its feet as Spirit-filled, sent ones.

SEESPEAKSEND

“When the word and the Spirit come together, there will be the biggest move of the Holy Spirit that the nations, and indeed, the world have ever seen.”
Smith Wigglesworth, 1947

“Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!’ … I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet – a vast army.”

Voices from LAUNCH

What leaders say about LAUNCH

  • I think there’s never been a more exciting time to be a part of a church because I believe that God is doing something new in our time. I can’t think of a better way or place to do that than here at LAUNCH.

  • To multiply out the God given gifts that are in you and see that happen in other people is the very best way to spend our lives.
    Portrait of Ness Wilson

  • The challenge of leadership in the church continues to morph and change at a very high rate. It’s necessary to get together with others who have been there, or are going to be there.
