URBAN REVIVAL CONFERENCE 2026: CALL TO A GENERATION TO GET ITS HANDS DIRTY IN THE WORK OF REDEMPTION

With an anticipated 9,500 attendees across Johannesburg and Cape Town, Urban Revival brings together an international Christian community for a gathering centred on equipping believers to take responsibility for the future of the global Church.

As questions surrounding the future, influence and responsibility of the global Church continue to shape conversations within Christianity, Urban Revival is preparing to convene thousands of believers for its second annual Urban Revival Conference, taking place in Johannesburg on 14 November and Cape Town on 15 November 2026.

Under the theme “GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY”, anchored in Matthew 5:13–16, the conference calls on Christians to recognise their responsibility as the salt and light of the earth and to actively participate in the mission of bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to their generation.

The gathering is expected to attract approximately 7,500 people in Johannesburg and 2,000 in Cape Town, with participation spanning 15 nations across Africa, the Americas and Europe. Countries represented include South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, the United States, Canada, Uganda and Nigeria, among others.

Beyond the walls of the Church

Founded by Harold Moyo, Urban Revival is a church, ministry, movement and Christian network committed to addressing issues affecting the global Church and equipping believers for the generations ahead.

Its vision extends beyond conventional church gatherings, emphasising the importance of preparing Christians to faithfully serve God in every sphere of influence, including business, education, government, media, culture, the arts and other areas of society.

The 2026 conference builds on a significant milestone from the inaugural gathering in 2025. Just one week after that conference, Urban Revival Church was birthed. As the ministry returns for its second conference, the church is approaching its second year of existence.

This development reflects the ministry’s conviction that revival must produce more than moments of inspiration; it must translate into lasting commitment, active discipleship and expressions of faith within communities.

A global gathering of Christian voices

The 2026 conference will feature an international and local line-up of Christian voices, including:

* Philip Anthony Mitchell

* Preston Perry

* Jackie Hill Perry

* Harold Moyo

* Israel Piri

* Onke Nyokana

* Melody Gambiza

* ⁠Victoria Sebatsane

Worship will be led by Urban Revival Music.

The programme will bring together biblical teaching, worship, prayer and equipping, creating an opportunity for believers from different churches, backgrounds and nations to gather around a shared commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The conference is open to Christians across church denominations and affiliations who desire to grow in their faith, become better equipped for ministry and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of the Gospel.

Taking revival into the cities of the world

The decision to host the conference in Johannesburg and Cape Town reflects a broader vision to establish Urban Revival’s presence in major cities around the world.

Rather than limiting its mandate to one congregation or geographical community, Urban Revival seeks to build a global Christian network that equips believers to serve faithfully wherever God has positioned them.

The Johannesburg and Cape Town gatherings represent part of this wider ambition to reach cities, strengthen the global Church and equip a generation that understands its responsibility in God’s mission.

An invitation to the Church

Urban Revival invites Christians, church leaders, ministry workers and members of the public to participate in this year’s gathering.

The organisation also welcomes media houses, journalists, radio stations, television networks and publications to engage with its leadership and conference speakers.

Interviews with Harold Moyo, international guests and selected South African speakers can be arranged throughout the week leading up to the conference, during the conference period and after the event.
