about us
birth of revive
Revive grew out of an event called Camp Alpha which has a rich heritage spanning over 60 years on the Gulf Coast, the past 30 of which have been at Blue Lake near Andalusia, AL. It was established and held together by five ministers who would bring their youth year after year. All have passed on now and the camp continues to be led by those who have grown-up in and have given back to the ministry.
The investment of many for decades has rendered untold fruit in thousands of lives. This is visible in the sheer number of full time ministers who’ve come out of the camp as well as youth who can trace the beginning of their faith back to their time spent there. The Board of Directors are each living proof of what a camp experience can offer a young person and how it can alter the course of lives for those who attend.
For years Camp Alpha has had to turn groups away because of space limitations. This initially led us to start thinking of how to expand. In the meantime we’ve been involved and have witnessed movements centered around young people throughout the world. We’ve also helped start international festivals and conferences, and have taken teams to the mission field. All of this gave us a desire to see more done in our own neck of the woods … to raise up and send out leaders for the church of tomorrow. Voila, Revive was born!

Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes or daily food. If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith without action is dead! - James 2:15
Simply put, we believe these words and know we must respond to those in our back yards and around the world. There are great opportunities for anyone willing to Go and respond with gifts, talents, and time. Our heart is to help you discover your mission! At Revive there will be experienced mentors, missionaries and other valuable resources and information available to help.
