JAMA
What is JAMA?
JAMA stands for Jesus Awakening Movement for America/All Nations. It is a prayer and spiritual awakening movement based on 2 Chronicles 7:14 (and Zechariah 8:20-21) and birthed by the prayers of a handful of Korean-Americans who were burdened for America’s revival. Its mission is to bring Christians together in brokenness and prayer, awakening them to the horror of sin, the holiness of God, the backsliding and comfort-seeking of the Church, the centrality of the Word, the beauty of His grace, and the joy of a Christ-saturated life.
By repenting of our own and our nation’s sins (Nehemiah 1:6), JAMA is a movement praying that God would send His sovereign wind and release His revival and healing throughout this land, so that lives, families, churches, communities, cities, America, and the world can be reclaimed for Christ. We seek to do this primarily in three ways: our big national conference (New Awakening), our intercessory prayer conferences, and our leadership development program (GLDI).
Is JAMA a Para-Church Ministry?
No. JAMA is a movement that seeks to support and encourage the local church through awakening God’s people to His heart and His service and to the spiritual apathy of America, challenging them to practice prayer and intercession for the needs of their congregations, communities and this nation (Jeremiah 29:4-7), reminding them of their spiritual ownership of this country (Romans 8:16-17), and thereby stirring them to an active role of bringing reconciliation, renewal, and hope (Romans 8:38-39) as influential ambassadors of Jesus Christ.
JAMA is a movement that believes that true Biblical revival and spiritual awakening is generated by God and sustained through the local church.
