Christian Revival Explodes, Spreads Like Wildfire to Other College Campuses Around United States https://www.westernjournal.com/christian-revival-explodes-spreads-like-wildfire-college-campuses-around-united-states/ By Randy DeSoto February 23, 2023 at 5:41am The revival fire that was ignited at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, earlier this month has spread to other campuses throughout the United States.

CBN News reported that outpourings of God’s spirit are happening at Eastern Kentucky University, Lee University in Tennessee, Samford University in Alabama, Cedarville University in Ohio, Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and Texas A&M University in College Station, and Regent University in Virginia Beach.

Rob Fultz, a campus pastor at Lee University, told The Christian Post that a group of students who had watched 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.”

“The professor said, ‘yes.’ The class of eight to nine students went to the chapel and began to pray. Within a couple of hours, the room started to fill with students, faculty, and staff,” Fultz recounted.

Byron Paulus — with the group OneCry, which is seeking a nationwide spiritual revival — tweeted a picture from Baylor’s campus of students gathered for prayer and worship on Sunday night.

“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.

The revival is spreading.

The unplanned, nonstop prayer meeting that began at Asbury University on Feb. 8 wrapped up Monday afternoon.

University officials announced that evening services would continue through Thursday this week for those between the ages of 16-25. Thursday is the national Collegiate Day of Prayer.

The decision came as the town of Wilmore was flooded with tens of thousands of visitors over the weekend seeking to experience God.
