 The Christian Revival Movement Has Spread To Even More Colleges….

The revival fire that began earlier this month at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, has spread to other campuses across the country.

Outpourings of God’s spirit have been reported at Eastern Kentucky University, Lee University in Tennessee, Samford University in Alabama, Cedarville University in Ohio, Baylor University in Waco, Texas, Texas A&M University in College Station, and Regent University in Virginia Beach, according to CBN News.

According to Rob Fultz, campus pastor at Lee University, a group of students who had seen what was happening at Asbury “asked their professor if they could go to the chapel and pray that God would move on our campus as well.”

“‘Yes,’ said the professor.” The eight to nine-student class went to the chapel and began to pray. “Within a few hours, the room began to fill up with students, faculty, and staff,” Fultz recalled.

He described Lee’s continuous time of prayer and worship as “a primarily spontaneous movement of prayer” and “a beautifully sacred movement” that has continued into this week.

On Sunday night, Byron Paulus of the OneCry movement, which seeks a nationwide spiritual revival, tweeted a photo from Baylor’s campus of students gathered for prayer and worship.
“Growing intensity and urgency in prayer and worship will lead to accelerating movement of revival. A powerful ‘How to Pray’ document circulating on campus. Never in my 47 years of revival ministry have I seen this widespread of movement,” he wrote.

Samford University campus pastor Bobby Gatlin told Baptist Press, “College students are hungry for authentic faith.”

“They long to experience a Christianity that is real and meaningful,” he said.

Last week, students gathered at Samford’s Reid Chapel for several days in a row, staying until the early morning hours.

“This movement is a grassroots stirring that can only be explained by the Spirit of God working in the lives of individuals and small groups of students who are coming together in faith,” Gatlin said.

 

These are certainly interesting times to be alive.

It will be fun to see what God does next.
