The Ministries of Clint Decker & Great Awakenings
LifeFest
LifeFest is an outdoor evangelistic festival in which Clint Decker and his team strives to effectively communicate the Good News to rural communities in one weekend. The family-friendly event brings together churches from across the community in a strong expression of unity, while equipping believers to share their faith effectively. The event focuses on the unchurched, from children to young families, giving them an unprecedented opportunity to here and consider the claims of Jesus, while seeing many put their trust in Him.
Hope for Today
Each month Clint writes the Hope for Today column which is published in the Wichita edition of The Chronicle and is posted on the homepage of greatawakenings.org. He write on current events connecting them to spiritual truths found in the Bible. Clint's desire is that people would be pointed to the hope of the gospel in an easy reading and relevant way.

Great Awakenings Foundation
Clint Decker has believed the Word of God when it says believers should tithe. Clint practices this personally and has carried it over into how he manages the ministry's finances. Ten percent of every dollar the ministry takes in is set into the Foundation. This Foundation is not for any financial benefit to the ministry. One hundred percent of the funds go out of the ministry for various purposes. Since its beginning, the Foundation has responded to the Florida hurricanes in 2004, to the Tsunami devastation in December 2004 and Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in 2006.
