July Youth Power Invasion 2026

For youth ages 16–29

Youth Power Invasion (YPI) is a one-of-a-kind ministry trip where youth and young adults are equipped, empowered, and released into ministry. This year, we are partnering once again with Iris Global for an exciting and transformational experience.

During the first part of the trip, participants will receive hands-on training in healing, prophecy, words of knowledge, and intercession. In the second portion, you’ll put that training into action through street outreaches and local church ministry alongside Iris Global.

Teaching will be led by Dr. Charity Cook, Richie Seltzer, Mark Dos Santos, Will Hart, Brian Connolly, and Jessika Tate. Participants may also have opportunities to speak and minister in local churches.

If you are older than 29, you may apply as a youth leader or as a parent of a minor attending the trip to help raise up the next generation. A limited number of spots are available for participants over 29 and are primarily reserved for youth leaders, team leaders, or parents. These participants will also be required to pass a background check. Spots will be filled on a first-apply, first-approved basis.
Come encounter God, build lifelong friendships, and experience the power of His love.

Your life will never be the same!


 

Trip Speakers:

• Dr. Charity Cook – Charity is a frequent speaker at many of our events and brings a prophetic teaching gift to her ministry, along with a deep well of practical equipping. As a Global Awakening associate evangelist, she has proven to be a woman of character, anointing, and deep thinking. Charity is a graduate of Global School of Supernatural Ministry’s inaugural class and has been serving on the Global Awakening staff since 2006. Charity grew up in Pennsylvania, but since joining Global, she has ministered all around the world, seeing the Body of Christ encouraged and built up. Charity developed a strong prophetic gifting during her time in ministry school and is known for delivering timely, accurate prophetic words. In addition, she enjoys the impact of expository preaching and discovering the truths of Scripture. She holds an M.A. in Practical Theology from Regent University, serves as Executive Assistant for Global Awakening, and travels internationally for ministry engagements.

 

• Richie Seltzer – Richie is an internationally recognized minister of the Gospel. His engaging, activating, and provoking speaking style are elements that make his ministry one that is in high demand; but ultimately, it’s the anointing of God on his life to equip the everyday believer to walk out a natural, supernatural life that makes a lasting impact. Miracles, healing, and signs and wonders follow him as he lives a life of obedience to the Great Commission. In 2011, he planted Imagine Church in Calgary, Alberta, through which he pioneered the Burning Ones School of Fire.

 

• Mark Dos Santos – Mark Dos Santos carries a strong anointing for healing, prophecy, and impartation, with countless testimonies of lives transformed through his ministry. After searching for truth in many places for eleven years, he encountered Jesus Christ and was forever changed, igniting a deep passion to see people healed, restored, and set free.
  Mark serves as an official speaker for Global Awakening Brazil and is actively involved with Global Awakening University in Brazil, equipping believers to walk in the supernatural life of the Spirit. He is married to his wife, Chaffin, and is the father of Amelia. Their family has been serving as missionaries throughout South America for nearly a year while Mark completes his Doctorate in Educational Leadership at Liberty University.

 

• Will Hart – In 1999, Will walked into the basement of a church not knowing why he was there. That night, the Holy Spirit reached out and grabbed him by the heart, and he was never the same. Since then, Will and his wife, Musy, have traveled and ministered with Bob Bradbury, Randy Clark, and Rolland and Heidi Baker. Will’s call is to take the simplicity of the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit wherever he goes.
  In 2016, Heidi and Rolland Baker asked Will to take over as Iris Global’s Chief Operating Officer. Now, in addition to traveling the globe as an itinerant speaker, he operationally runs Iris Global.

 

• Brian Connolly – Brian Connolly is the founder of Faith Like Birds Ministries and creator of The Shout and Gen Free youth conferences. He believes it’s possible for there to be a movement of restored young lives laid down for Jesus and that an encounter with God is the beginning. He has been involved in ministry since 2005 and is currently pursuing his Doctorate in Ministry through Global Awakening Theological Seminary. He is an author, itinerant minister, husband, and father to four beautiful girls.

 

•  Jessika Tate – Jessika Tate is an international speaker, missionary, author, and coffee lover who has been traveling the world preaching the Gospel and doing aid projects for over a decade in some of the darkest places on earth. She is passionate about inspiring people to fall in love with Jesus and equipping the Church to fully yield their lives and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.
  Jessika is the founder of Yielded Ministries, a nonprofit organization that focuses on providing aid and advocacy for communities in unjust and vulnerable situations.
