Did our hearts nOt burn within us?
A.W. Tozer and a few friends would regularly gather with the intention of stirring one another in their passion to pursue God. They called it the "Fellowship of the Burning Heart." It was born out of Tozer's deep desire for a revival of authentic, passionate Christianity. The phrase itself comes from Luke 24:32, where the disciples on the road to Emmaus, after encountering Jesus, said: "Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?"
Abide City Location in Rosebery, Sydney
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS CONFERENCE?
A Call to Young Adult Pastors & Leaders
We want to urge and encourage young adult pastors and leaders to be people of deep prayer, integrity, vision and passion for Christ. We believe that if leaders burn with a holy fire, the whole community of young adults will follow.
BURNING HEART 2025
Holiness & Separation - Burning Heart is meant to be a countercultural movement of believers who pursue God above all else, living as shining lights—a generation set apart for Him.
BURNING HEART 2025
A Call to Deeper Devotion - We long for a generation of young adults who are fully surrendered to God—not just in words, but in their daily lives—embodying the call to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.
