Shabach is the annual regional youth‐focused praise encounter organized by the Youth Alive Fellowship (YAF) arm of Living Faith Church Worldwide for the Americas & Oceania region.
Shabach serves as a “loud, resounding praise to the Lord,” designed to ignite and deepen a lifestyle of worship among young people. It aims to:
Galvanize youth into passionate, expressive worship.
Unite different local chapters of YAF across major cities into one synchronized night of celebration.
Equip attendees through music, ministry, and fellowship to carry a revival mindset back to their campuses and communities.
Organizational Structure
Rather than a single venue, Shabach is hosted simultaneously in multiple “clusters” across North America.
USA Clusters include: Atlanta, Houston, Maryland, Minnesota and Los Angeles.
shabach – to shout, to address in a loud tone, to command, or to triumph.
