The Story

Andrew York (Awaken Leader) had carried the name Awaken for his set of ministries he was a part of. As the staff and leaders started praying and preparing for the 2010 Classic Summer DTS, we get a strong feeling that God is wanting to do more. The name Classic just didn’t sound right either. We started seeking another name and immediately things started happening that pointed to using Awaken. A friend of the School, Amy Solars, suggested the name Awaken Nations. Meanwhile, Calvin (Awaken Staff) started sketching designs and the only design that he could see working was with the name Awaken.

During a worship and prayer night, Sarah Jo (Awaken Staff) felt the Lord leading her to write this:

because you are mine

chosen

loved

and my beloved

hand picked to change

yourself

others

the world

to be mine

to be loved

and forever changed

royalty

righteous

beauty

encouraged

for such a time as this

a celebration of jubilee

to walk with others

because you are mine.

a turning of the tide.

living water

covered in the blood

and protected by the armor

awakened by the spirit

on guard ALWAYS

ready for battle

ready to win

ready for eternal change

experiencing my

favor

fragrance

freshness

dreams

dream for more

MORE

you have yet to see what i will do

with you

through you

in you

awake my beloved

my bride

AWAKEN for you are MINE!
