Revival has come to America.
In a powerful Easter service in Times Square, Pastor Mike Signorelli and V1 Church gathered as thousands worshipped the risen King.
“It’s not going to be Mike Signorelli that does it. But Jesus Christ of Nazareth is going to touch your whole body, and He’s going to heal you even while I’m preaching,” Signorelli said.

Signorelli also posted about the event on his Facebook, writing:
Seeing people stand in the rain for more than three hours, refusing to leave, knowing their presence in the crowd was just as vital as what God was doing on the stage, moved me to my core. They stood as witnesses that New York City will not be overcome by spiritual darkness.
Ten years ago, I packed my life into a car and drove from Indiana to New York to start V1 Church. On that journey, my car died in Times Square before I even arrived to my new apartment. My daughter Everly was a crying toddler in the back seat, tired from the long drive. I knew God had called me to plant V1 Church, yet I couldn’t even afford to make it there without my car failing.
I had no idea that a decade later, in the very same spot where my car died, Times Square would be overflowing with people from all seven campuses of our church. The service was televised globally, with more than 40,000 people watching online. All around the world, people saw the gospel proclaimed and the resurrection story told not only through Scripture but through the living testimonies gathered there. Every life in that crowd testified to the same power that raised Christ from the dead.
I never set out to do something historic. I simply heard the Islamic calls to prayer resounding in my city and realized it’s time the Church gets a bigger sound system and starts responding to Heaven’s call to prayer and intercession. If it’s going to be the prophets of Baal versus Elijah, let’s call down fire and see whose god is the TRUE God!
Make no mistake, today came at a high cost. After all these years, I face continuous death threats, vandalism, and intense opposition from those who want to silence the message by silencing the messenger. But what else should I expect when I have lead homosexuals, Hindus, Muslims, atheists, gang members, and so many others to surrender their lives to Jesus?
We cannot be intimidated. We will not be silenced.
New York City belongs to Jesus…and while there are many that would love to see us back down…we have only just begun!
As thousands lifted their voices in the heart of Times Square, it was more than just a gathering—it was a bold declaration that faith is still alive in the public square. In a place known for noise, distraction and cultural influence, the name of Jesus was exalted without compromise.
Moments like this serve as a reminder that even in the most unlikely places, God is moving—and He is not finished with America.
