In light of the challenges of 2021, it would be an understatement to say that the public-stand Restore7 has taken has been quite intense. Yet, in spite of this we’ve experienced incredible favor from the Lord and with our global community. Between our networks and the networks of those that we are partnered with, we’ve seen this kingdom reformation message reach millions. While this public-stand has been difficult at times we believe whole heartedly in a hopeful future and a great awakening that’s in store for America and the world.

Restore7 hosted our first annual RISE Summit, reaching over 5,000 online attendees, representing over 45 nations. We’ve hosted two additionally successful online RISE events focused on Religion (The Church), Media, Arts & Entertainment, Family, and Education. Our RISE Global Community had the opportunity to hear from hope-filled pioneers and experts such as: Bill & Bennie Johnson, Danny Silk, Steve Shultz, Kat Kerr, Nathan French, Charlie Kirk, David Harris Jr, David and Stacey Whited, Greg and Julie Gorman, Dr. Josh Axe, Jordan Rubin, Dr. Ivy Bonk, Kim Alexis, Clay Clarke and so many more amazing speakers.

The RISE App was launched in a beta test-phase and we’ve been collecting helpful feedback to make all the necessary improvements for our upcoming final launch. Releasing software is challenging and we’ve experienced some of those challenges, but we’ll soon complete an incredible way for our community of reformers to stay relationally connected around our common purpose to bring heaven to earth through practical expressions of God’s care and love.

Elizabeth has led a full year of daily online devotionals called Choose Love. This has given thousands of people the opportunity to encounter the Father, grow in their understanding of His love, and receive in-depth discipleship of the 7 mountain message.

Johnny has faithfully stewarded a hope-filled, kingdom narrative that has sustained many during 2021. Through our social media platforms and Elijah Streams he has continued to release prophetic words and perspectives to the Church at this crucial time when clarity has been needed more than ever.

We are blessed to have been able to make several key hires as the Restore7 organization grows: community developers for RISE, content creators, and tech partners. Additionally, we restructured the Restore7 Board of Directors to a world-class, strategic board that will help us better steward the mission and vision of Restore7 for generations to come.
Our social media influence grew by over 40% this year, helping us advance the kingdom message of reformation to an even larger audience. We’ve experienced a surprising increase favor in our communication platforms and the partnership networks that we’re a part of.

We partnered with an amazing ministry in Latin America to host an online conference for millennials, reaching over 60 thousand with the gospel of the kingdom. Many Hispanic young adults were not only ignited to join the reformation movement, but to understand their part in it.

Christian Center for Public Life, a project of Restore7 that is under Johnny’s leadership, continues to have a huge impact on Hispanic nations. Our staff based out of Washington DC has trained many presidential and congressional level candidates for campaigning in key elections in their nations. They’ve also taught a governmental leadership training course for 100 high-achieving young adults from Latin America.

While most of Johnny and Elizabeth’s travel was cancelled, they were able to minister quite a bit internationally online as guest speakers, as well as on our own podcasts and live events.

We’re excited to announce we’ll soon be launching a subscription based Restore7 Media platform filled with not only our own content, but also content created by a wide variety of pioneering reformers from each of the 7 mountains. Think Netflix for reformers! Our longterm vision is to include content such as YouTube style videos, podcasts, mini-series, vlogs, documentaries, courses, ebooks, and audiobooks. We are SO excited about this.

For several years now we’ve self published many of our own books, but it’s finally time to grow our publishing company to include other authors who have important contributions to our vision to equip and inspire reformers. Rumor has it that both Johnny + Elizabeth will be releasing new books in 2022 as well!

We will continue to expand the RISE App and address the last remaining tech issues. The App will give the audience from the new Restore7 Media platform a place to connect and focus on their kingdom assignments.
We’ve been able to increase our budget for Christian Center for Public Life, so we fully expect to see many more Hispanics trained and equipped to impact their governments and nations.

The next RISE Summit will be hosted (hopefully!) sometime in Nashville during Summer 2022. Stay tuned for details!

We believe reformation will be a key word for next year and plan to advance this training and understanding through ongoing communications, prophetic words, written and filmed resources, and events.

Of course we will not back down from the things God has shown us for our nation and the world. We will continue to prophesy the hopeful and good news of the advancing kingdom of God to the world!
