Hope California 2026: Ché Ahn on LA Coliseum Revival, Religious Freedom, and the California Governor Race

Takeaways (Table of Contents)

Hope California 2026: What Is the Los Angeles Coliseum Revival Event? (00:07)

Q: What is Hope California and how is it mobilizing believers across Los Angeles?

Ché Ahn:
Hope California is a 40-day movement where over one million believers across Los Angeles are praying, fasting, and sharing Jesus in their communities. Throughout March and April, we’re mobilizing evangelists, missionaries, and volunteers to partner with local churches to bring faith and hope to every neighborhood.

This all culminates on April 11, 2026, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with worship, testimonies, baptisms, and a powerful move of God. We believe this is more than an event—it’s the beginning of transformation across California.

Why Is April 11, 2026 at the LA Memorial Coliseum So Significant? (01:48)

Q: Why is the April 11 Coliseum gathering a defining moment for California revival?

Ché Ahn:
This gathering marks the 120th anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival. We felt led to host it on April 11 so families and young people can attend.

We’ll have a bilingual event reaching both English and Spanish communities, reflecting the heart of Los Angeles. Evangelist Nathan Morris and leading Christian artists will join us as we unite across cultures.

From 12 PM to 4 PM, we’ll hold a solemn assembly focused on prayer and repentance. Then from 4 PM to 10 PM, it transitions into a Hope Festival with evangelism, worship, and signs and wonders.

We’re seeing thousands register daily. This is shaping up to be a historic moment.

What Is the Vision for Revival in California and the Azusa Street Legacy? (03:39)

Q: How does Hope California connect to historic revivals like Azusa Street and what is your vision for 2026?

Ché Ahn:
Los Angeles has been the birthplace of global revival movements—from Azusa Street in 1906 to the Jesus People Movement and beyond.

I believe God is calling us to “re-dig the wells of revival.” These weren’t random events—there’s a spiritual history here.

Yes, California is facing deep challenges. But Scripture says where sin abounds, grace abounds even more. I believe we are on the brink of another great awakening—one that is not just revival, but reformation.

We are believing for transformation that impacts culture, families, and the future of California.

How Is Ché Ahn Connecting Spiritual Revival to the California Governor Election 2026? (05:19)

Q: How does your run in the California governor election 2026 connect to this spiritual movement?

Ché Ahn:
I’m running for governor because I believe California is in crisis—economically, morally, and spiritually.

But my strategy is not political first—it’s spiritual. Every historic revival began with unity, prayer, and repentance. That’s why we are mobilizing one million prayer warriors across California.

At the same time, we are encouraging civic engagement—registering to vote and showing up. Transformation requires both spiritual awakening and practical action.

As California goes, so goes the nation. I believe we are positioned to see real reformation.

What Happened in the Ché Ahn Supreme Court Religious Freedom Case? (06:28)

Q: Can you share about your Supreme Court case and your fight for religious freedom in California?

Ché Ahn:
During COVID, churches were shut down while other businesses were allowed to stay open. We saw clear discrimination against people of faith.

We made the decision to reopen, knowing the consequences could be severe—including jail time and millions in fines.

With the help of Liberty Counsel, we challenged the state. The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where we won in a 6–3 decision on February 5, 2021.

That victory wasn’t just legal—it was spiritual. It affirmed that religious freedom in California must be protected.

That same conviction is what drives me today.

How Should Christians Respond to Division and Political Tension in California? (10:30)

Q: With increasing division in California politics, how should Christians respond?

Ché Ahn:
We are living in a time of deep division and spiritual conflict. But the answer is not retaliation—it’s transformation of the heart.

Jesus taught us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who persecute us. We must operate in the opposite spirit.

Yes, we stand for justice and righteousness. But we do it with humility, love, and Christlike character.

True transformation doesn’t start in government—it starts in the heart.

How to Attend or Watch Hope California 2026 and Join the Movement (12:56)

Q: How can people attend Hope California or participate from outside Los Angeles?

Ché Ahn:
You can register for the April 11 event at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum—it’s free, but registration is required to secure a seat.
