Heart Check: As One

Heart Check is an annual call to participate with the Holy Spirit beyond the walls of Revive Wesleyan. It’s a prompt to pray, go, and give above and beyond so that we can bring the Gospel and tangible aid to people right here in Buffalo and around the world. By making this a yearly practice, we continually check that our hearts are aligned with God’s and that we are using the time, talents, and resources he has blessed us with to serve others.

From June 2025 to May 2026, our goal is to raise $800,000 to support partner ministries here at home and around the world.

Begin with Prayer

Heart Check Prayer Vigil Sign Up

From April 27 to May 4, we are doing a round-the-clock prayer vigil in The Living Room at our McKinley Campus. You sign up for a one-hour time slot that books the room just for you (or your family or small group). We'll have prompts and a few interactive elements in the room to help guide you. Take this time to draw closer to Christ and bring our partner ministries and their work to Him in prayer! Enter through Door 1 to access The Living Room. And rest assured that we'll have security in the building when it's not business hours so you are never alone. 


Local Initiatives

Outreach begins just outside your door. Every day you have the opportunity to bring the Gospel to those around you, be a listening ear and a source of comfort to the hurting, or meet practical needs. The Great Commission is for here and now, not just the week you serve on a mission trip or in one particular season of your life! 

How do we live out Revive’s core value of Outreach locally? 
As one of Revive’s seven core values, Outreach should be expressed in everything Revive Wesleyan does, including Sunday morning worship services, community groups, global mission trips, and when Revive congregants are out and about in the community.  

What do local Heart Check funds support? 
The Trading Post, Operation Good Neighbor, Hamburg Emergency Food Pantry, Revive’s Fall Festivals, to name just a few! Local Heart Check funds are invested in both compassion and evangelistic ministries. Compassion ministries help fill an immediate daily need (clothing, food, etc). Evangelistic ministries help connect people to the eternal need of salvation through Jesus Christ.

We also set aside a portion of the Heart Check budget for needs we didn’t or couldn’t plan for. Last year, there was a tornado that touched the ground in Eden, NY, which devastated many family homes and farms. Thanks to your continued investment in Heart Check, we were able to respond right away to fill practical daily needs. Each year we discern and look for Holy Spirit-led opportunities to help YOU be the everyday missionary God has called you to be! So keep your eyes and ears open during Sunday services or via our newsletters for ways you can jump in and participate!


Regional Initiatives

We have many compassionate partners in the City of Buffalo dedicated to bringing the Gospel to people in the darkest of circumstances. Motivated by their faith in Jesus, the leaders and volunteers at these organizations are bringing God’s Kingdom to earth one person at a time. And they do it by caring for the whole individual—providing Gospel-centered love and support while meeting the tangible needs of the lost and the hurting. We are committed to being a part of the solution right here in our city.

 


Global Initiatives

Our partners around the world are doing Kingdom work amid escalating wars and gang violence. As thousands of people flee the cities and countries where these ministries are staying the course and still operating, our help means more than ever. We support schools, medical clinics, worship facilities, and more in places that cry out for peace and hope. The Gospel is the answer desperately sought by so many. Despite the brutal opposition, these partner ministries continue to see people accept Jesus. Please pray for the staff, volunteers, and individuals they serve as they meet critical needs and push back against the spiritual darkness. 

 


Legacy Partners

Legacy Partners are individuals or families in the mission field whom we support as they reach people for Jesus. Their work is varied and takes place all over the world. We’ve been in relationship with these individuals for years, sometimes decades, and it’s a blessing to see the fruit of their ministries.
