Steven Andrew Launches 40-Day Revival for America Nov 7

Pastor Steven Andrew of USA Christian Church in San Jose, California, has launched a 40-day revival of prayer and fasting running from November 7 to December 16, 2026, anchored in 2 Chronicles 7:14 and calling Christians across America to turn from four sins he says are behind the nation's troubles.

Thirty-day stockpiles are trending. Headlines warn of World War III. Shelves are being filled and bunkers are being discussed, and Andrew is asking a question almost nobody else is asking: what does the Bible actually tell a nation to do in a crisis like this?

His answer comes from an old promise. "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." That is 2 Chronicles 7:14, and it is the verse the whole revival is built on.

The 40-day revival began on Saturday, November 7, and runs through December 16. Each day brings a new prayer video and a brochure from the church's website, and believers who sign up recieve a daily reminder to pray. The call is simple: humble yourself, pray, and turn.

Four sins, one cry

Andrew names four sins he wants the nation to turn from. First, worshipping false gods. Second, forgetting God's command to choose godly leaders. Third, forgetting daily Bible reading and prayer. Fourth, unconfessed personal sin.

It is a blunt list, and it is meant to be. The revival is not built around a feeling or a song, but around repentance, and Andrew says that when God's people follow His Word, they find mercy.

The revival carries three strands under one name, "The Greatest Revival." There is the Salvation of Loved Ones Revival, for families praying that the people they love will come to faith. There is the Back to the Bible Revival, for Christians who have drifted from daily reading and prayer. And there is the One Nation Under God Revival, for the country itself.

The structure matters because it tells you who Andrew thinks this is for. It is not only for pastors or for people who already pray every day. It is for the mother praying for her son, the grandfather who stopped opening his Bible, and the neighbour who is frightened by the news and does not know where to turn.

Who is Steven Andrew?

Andrew is the pastor of USA Christian Church in San Jose, California, and he has led the "Greatest Revival" movement for years. His ministry says he has reached more than 80 million people for the Gospel across 34 years of ministry, a figure the church itself reports.

This is not his first call to national prayer this autumn. At the end of October he called Christians to three days of prayer and fasting, from November 1 to November 3, in response to the same fears: food stockpiles, war anxiety, and a sense that the country is sliding toward something dark.

The 40-day revival is the longer answer to the same cry. Three days of prayer became forty, and a moment of alarm became a season of repentance. Andrew's message has not changed, only its length.

He is not asking people to come to San Jose. The revival is built to be joined from anywhere: a daily video, a printed brochure, and prayer at home. That is the point. A nation cannot fit in one church, but it can pray in a million living rooms at once.

Why now, and why forty days?

The timing is no accident. November is the month when Americans give thanks, and December is the month when they celebrate the birth of Christ. A revival that runs from November 7 to December 16 sits squarely inside the season when the country is already thinking about God, family, and what matters most.

Forty days carries its own weight in the Bible. Moses spent forty days on the mountain. Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness. Nineveh was given forty days to repent. Andrew is borrowing a number that has always meant a season of turning, and he is giving a frightened country forty days to do it.

The contrast with the stockpiling is deliberate. While the nation fills its shelves, Andrew is telling Christians to empty themselves. While headlines speak of war, he is speaking of mercy. The revival's wager is that the real crisis is not a shortage of food, but a shortage of prayer, and that the answer to fear is not a fuller pantry but a humbler heart.

Christians around the world are praying in the same season. In Seoul, 26,000 Join Seoul Prayer Rally for CGI 50th gathered for prayer, and new worship is rising everywhere, from LO Worship Releases The Drought Is Over Live Album to the Christmas record in Chris Tomlin Good News of Great Joy Christmas Album November 6 2026: Songs, Book and Tour. Andrew's revival joins a chorus that is already singing, and it asks America to add its voice.

The revival runs until December 16, and the question it leaves behind is the one Andrew started with. If a nation humbles itself and prays, does God really heal the land? For forty days, in living rooms and churches across America, Christians are about to find out, and the answer they are praying for is the one the whole country is waiting to hear.

But the most surprising part of this story is yet to come — keep reading.
