The revival has been led by John Kilpatrick, pastor of the Church of His Presence and Nathan Morris of "Shake the Nations" in Great Britain.
[1] The meetings have been characterized by extended periods of worship led by Lydia Stanley, sermons challenging people to turn back to God, prayer for the sick, and claims of divine healing that have been widely publicized.
It was during the Church's 2010 "Open the Heavens Conference" that the revival phenomenon was claimed by those in attendance to have returned; it was reported to have taken place whilst Nathan Morris was preaching during the final night of the event, on July 23.
Subsequently, the meetings at the Daphne Civic Center were extended and continued to be held each weekend, attracting people from across America and other countries.
Since then, the "Bay Revival on Tour" has been held in cities across the USA including: Youngstown, OH; Dallas, TX; Sayreville, NJ; Detroit MI; Lake Charles, LA; Phoenix, AZ.
[7] GOD TV started airing three-hour broadcasts from the Bay Revival in November 2010, expanding it to a global audience and rapidly increasing its international following.
The preaching of the Bay Revival focuses on calling people back to holy living with an emphasis on "the Blood of Jesus" and "the Cross".
