The Revival Gateway has a singular goal; to reach as many souls as possible every day with the gospel of Jesus Christ unto salvation and discipleship. We strongly believe that spiritual growth and victory of every believer is rooted in their daily fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

In a world desperately in need of truth, hope, and healing, Revival Gateway creates an opportunity to channel the true Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ through a daily devotions stream, church devotions from individual church leaders, an online prayer altar to revive personal prayer, group prayers and intercession for our countries. Winning souls for the Lord is a call for every believer, we have included an evangelism function to encourage soul winning and discipleship. Included on Revival Gateway is a function to support Church operations and host content like sermons, daily devotions and publications. Creation of Church accounts is free with church leaders having the ability to post church programs, events, send notification reminders and so on.
