Clutching my abuela’s hand, I first experienced Avivamiento En Cristo in Houston. The energy was palpable. Avivamiento En Cristo translates to “Revival in Christ”. And revival is exactly what I felt that day. This vibrant church, located at 6800 Imperial Valley Drive, pulsates with the spirit of Pentecostalism. It’s the heart of the Centro Mundial de Avivamiento (World Revival Center) in Houston. Pastors Juan Sebastian and Ana Maria Rodriguez lead the congregation, creating a space where miracles and healing are said to occur. Services are held on Fridays at 6 PM and Sundays at 9:30 AM, filling the fourth floor with passionate worship. While this specific Avivamiento En Cristo isn’t mentioned in the news articles I found, the fervor of faith in Texas is evident. One article details a revival movement called “reviveTX” in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Over 1,600 people reportedly accepted Christ during this 50-day event. Another article discusses a different church altogether, offering insights into the diverse tapestry of Christian worship in Houston. But here, at Avivamiento En Cristo, the focus remains on the immediate, personal experience of faith. It’s a place where, as my abuela would say, “God’s presence is so thick, you can almost taste it.”
