THIS EVENT HAS ENDED.
Thank you for your support.
Eight years ago, on March 26, 2017, Dianna Hobbs was a shell—racked by rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, organs failing, doctors helpless. Carried into a prayer service, she faced death. Then, fifty women prayed. Power surged. She ran out healed—no trace of disease since.
ACTIVATE was born from that miracle, a call to press into God’s presence and see wonders. In 2018, it launched regionally—then brain trauma from an antibiotic reaction silenced Dianna once again in 2019. Now, ACTIVATE 2025 rises again: one night to relive that 2017 divine encounter and see God break chains and change lives as only He can.
Dianna Hobbs—award-winning founder of Empowering Everyday Women Ministries—knows pain. In 2017, chronic illness stole her body; doctors said death was next. A miracle rewrote her destiny. She shared it coast-to-coast, birthed ACTIVATE, and penned God Did It. Then, in 2019, a routine antibiotic triggered brain trauma, halting her ministry. Eight years after her healing, five years after her fall, she’s back—preaching her first sermon since, proving faith defies odds.
SPECIAL GUESTS
Back in 2017, when Dianna Hobbs battled sickness, two Spirit-filled women were among the 50 intercessors. They prayed with power, sang with anointing, and shifted the atmosphere until God brought miracles. Now, eight years later—a season of new beginnings—they're back to set the stage, stir faith, and welcome the Holy Spirit for deliverance and breakthrough once again.
