The Great Lakes Awakening is birthed out of a series of visions and dreams. In 2022 , the Lord had given Justin a dream or vison of the Map of the United States and drew a highlighted area all around the Great Lakes Region encompassing Minnesota all the way to the Atlantic Ocean and also on the Canadian side. Within this highlighted area are thousands of crosses that represent Ekklasias. Also, in between these were many empty areas that are missing a major Kingdom representation.

After further prayer, the purpose was revealed. The purpose or mandate is to work to connect with these various Ekklesias and bring them together for the sake of unity, revival and reformation. In the spaces that are shown in the dream as empty, we are to plant new Kingdom works. Also to teach , train and equip the body of Christ for those works. This all coupled with Awakening the body to its full potential and taking its part in a end time harvest and a revival the likes we have not seen before.

After these dreams and explanations , Justin held on to them. He waited for his wife, Jodi to have a confirming dream or vision which happened in the early part of 2024 while watching the North Georgia Revival and listening to Prophet Jerimiah Johnson preach. That evening, the Glory of God fell in our living room and that is when Jodi received the confirming vision.

Afterword’s, it was revealed that we would set out on a 50 conference initiative that started Pentecost weekend , June 6-8 2025, in Manitowoc WI.
