# Is Revival Coming To Canada? What God Is Doing From Hamilton's Streets To Niagara Falls - Canonical: https://www.iamreborn.net/blog/is-revival-coming-to-canada - Author: Daniel Ziedins (https://www.iamreborn.net/about-daniel-ziedins) - Published: 2026-10-06 - Reading time: 6 minutes ## Short answer No one can schedule revival, but Scripture shows what comes before it: God's people humbling themselves, praying and going (2 Chronicles 7:14). In Canada that is visibly happening through Love on The World, which began as weekly street outreach in Hamilton in 2014 and now meets in 12 cities; Jesus Festival Hamilton, where the festival's early reports from September 2026 include 70+ people giving their lives to Jesus and 50+ baptisms; and SIX33, a coming culture brand built on Matthew 6:33 whose giving supports that outreach. Daniel and Katie Ziedins carry the vision through e3 Canada. Plenty of people have quietly written Canada off. Emptying pews, a culture that has moved on, a faith most people think of as something their grandparents had. But revival has never started with a nation that looked ready for it. It starts with a prayer like this one: > Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. > > — Habakkuk 3:2 Repeat them _in our day._ Not a memory of what God once did, but a request for what He would do now. And in one corner of Ontario, there are signs worth paying attention to. ## What revival actually is Revival is not a louder service or a bigger event. It is God renewing His own people and, through them, drawing many who were far from Him into new life — usually through ordinary believers who start doing what Jesus said, and keep doing it. > If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. > > — 2 Chronicles 7:14 Notice where that promise starts: **with God’s own people**, not with the culture. Revival in a nation begins with believers who stop waiting for it and start living as though Jesus meant every word. > Revival does not wait for a nation to be ready. It waits for a people to be willing. ## Front one: the street In 2014, Daniel and Katie Ziedins started **Love on Hamilton** — weekly outreach on the streets of Hamilton, Ontario, bringing practical help, prayer and the gospel to people in real need, every week. It grew into **Love on The World** (LoveonTheWorld.com): a movement that helps ordinary believers share the gospel, meet practical needs, make disciples, and multiply weekly outreach groups. Groups now meet weekly in **12 cities** for street outreach, prayer and practical compassion — and anyone can apply to start a Love on [City] group where they live. > The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. > > — Matthew 9:37–38 Daniel and Katie describe what they have watched happen on those streets: chains of addiction broken, lives healed, hearts set on fire for God. This is what revival looks like before anyone writes about it — one conversation on one corner, again and again. ## Front two: the city Once a year the streets come together in one place. **Jesus Festival** (JesusFestival.ca) is a free, family-friendly Christian festival at Gage Park in Hamilton — a weekend of worship, gospel hope, testimonies, prayer and practical love for the city, where nobody needs a ticket. Jesus Festival 2026, on September 4–5, drew a record turnout. The festival’s own early reports include: - **70+ people** giving their lives to Jesus, with altar calls on both Friday and Saturday; - **50+ baptisms** in a city park; - **3,000+ free hot dogs and drinks** served — love you can hold in your hand; - many healings and deliverances; and - the first **Jesus Festival Niagara**, where the City lit Niagara Falls yellow in recognition of the festival. > Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. > > — Acts 2:41 Jesus said heaven rejoices over _one_ sinner who repents (Luke 15:10). Seventy-plus in a single weekend is a lot of rejoicing. And every one of them is a name — a son, a daughter, a neighbour — who now needs to be discipled, which is exactly why the street groups matter after the stage comes down. ## Front three: the culture The streets reach people one by one. A festival reaches a city. But a culture shapes what an entire generation thinks is worth living for — and the Church cannot afford to leave that ground empty. That is the heart behind **SIX33** (SIX33.World), coming soon: a Christian lifestyle and performance culture brand built on one verse — apparel drops, athletes and creators, events and stories, unashamedly pointing people to seek Jesus first. > But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. > > — Matthew 6:33 And it loops back to the street: a big part of SIX33’s heart is raising funds for Love on The World, so that as the brand grows, the outreach grows with it. Culture funding compassion; compassion carrying the gospel. SIX33 has not announced a launch date — the way in early is to join its Inner Circle list. > You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. > > — Matthew 5:14 ## One thread through all three Street, city, culture — and one couple carrying the vision through all of it. Daniel and Katie serve in partnership with **e3 Canada** (alongside I Am Second), whose mission is equipping believers to evangelize and establish multiplying, life-changing churches. Their own words for the goal: **to see souls saved and Canada set ablaze for Christ.** None of it runs on one couple’s strength. Paul put it plainly: one plants, another waters, God gives the growth — “for we are co-workers in God’s service” (1 Corinthians 3:9). Every outreach night, every baptism in a park, every person who meets Jesus on a street corner is fruit shared by everyone who prayed, gave and sent. We wrote about why in [Plunder Hell, Populate Heaven](https://www.iamreborn.net/blog/partner-in-the-gospel-plunder-hell-populate-heaven). ## How to be part of it 1. **Pray for revival in Canada — specifically.** Pray 2 Chronicles 7:14 over your own city, by name, this week. 2. **Join a street outreach.** Find a Love on The World group near you, or apply to start one where you live. No experience needed. 3. **Come to Jesus Festival.** Dates for 2027 have not been announced yet — follow JesusFestival.ca and bring someone who needs hope. 4. **Get in early on SIX33.** Join the Inner Circle at SIX33.World and help carry the gospel into the culture. 5. **Partner with Daniel & Katie.** Stand with the whole mission through [their e3 Canada page](https://e3ministry.ca/staff/katie-daniel-ziedins) — prayer, monthly support, or both. **This week** - Pray Habakkuk 3:2 every morning: “Repeat them in our day.” - Write down three people in your city who need Jesus, and pray for them by name. - Visit LoveonTheWorld.com and find the nearest outreach group — or the form to start one. - Share this with one person who has been praying for Canada. ## So — is revival coming to Canada? Nobody schedules revival. But Scripture shows us what precedes it: God’s people praying, turning, and going. That is happening — every week in twelve cities, in a park full of baptisms, and soon in a culture brand built on seeking Him first. We believe Canada is on the verge of its greatest revival. Not because of a trend, but because God keeps His promises to people who humble themselves and pray. **Lord, repeat Your deeds in our day — and start with us.** **Where it is happening** - [Love on The World](https://loveontheworld.com): Practical, hands-and-feet outreach putting the love of Jesus on the street. - [Jesus Festival](https://jesusfestival.ca): Gatherings where a whole city can come together and meet Jesus. - [SIX33](https://www.six33.world): A Christian lifestyle and performance culture brand built on Matthew 6:33 — coming soon, with its giving behind Love on The World. - [Daniel & Katie — Love Overflow](https://kd-ziedins.com): Marriage and family on mission, and the overflow of loving God first together. [Stand with the mission through e3 Canada](https://e3ministry.ca/staff/katie-daniel-ziedins) — Street, city, culture — pray, give, or go. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is there a revival happening in Canada?
