Wake Within Me

Jason VanaJason Vana

Every year as we get ready to head to Czech, I tend to get a single song stuck in my head. It’s a song I end up playing over and over again. A song I whistle and hum to myself. A song that makes me pray harder – and begin to cry – about what God wants to do.

This year, that song was Wake.

And God has been using it to stir within all of our hearts.

Our Ignite Czech team used the song in a drama tonight at our Cookout and Preview event.
Our trip team members have been singing and humming it since we left O’Hare.
We had it stuck in our heads while prayer walking the city of Opava.
We’ve just can’t seem to get enough of it.

It truly has become the theme song of this year’s trip.
And it’s evident with what God has been doing already in our first two days of ministry.

Our team has prayed with people.
Seen relationships restored.
Heard stories of people coming to Christ after our 2013 mission trip.
Seen how many of these young people have overcome obstacles and insecurities.
Watched as they began to believe the great call God has on their lives.

And discovered old promises and dreams wakening again in our own hearts.

God is waking something in all of us this year.

People are closer to Christ.
Promises are being revealed.
Hope is being restored.
Bold prayers are being prayed.
Team members are recognizing the gifts within them.
Ignite Czech members are seeing the call of God on their lives.
Everyone has been stepping up to talk with and reach out to those who don’t know Christ.
People are getting closer to stepping over that line of faith.
One of our Ignite Czech leaders was installed as the official youth leader of our partner church.
And big dreams are being birthed for both Ignite Czech and Ignite USA.

God is waking within us.

And it’s been amazing to see.
