We hear you and agree… waiting until 2026 for the next FOLLOW is far too long!

The 2025 EMPOWERED TOUR is a regional event brought to you by the leaders of the International Wesleyan Youth and Young Adult Convention called FOLLOW.

Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He gave His disciples and us some of His last words. Embedded in Acts 1:8, is supernatural power, a plan, our purpose, and the promise of God’s presence.

This tour is coming to four cities this fall, to bring a weekend of encounter through an evening session, a concert with a nationally known artist, and a full day of sessions, workshops, and fun zones. It’s a time to connect, discern calling, have fun, and be equipped to return to your church and community ready to serve.

This event is for students and young adults, ages 11 – 30, as well as the leaders who serve them.
