(OPINION) The outpouring that began with the Asbury Awakening is reaching more young people as it marches on to both Christian and secular university campuses, churches, and youth events literally from one end of the country to another.
As CBN News has reported, what some have referred to as a potential new great awakening within Christian history started as a spark on the campus of Asbury University, where thousands of Christians gathered for two weeks of Spirit-led worship, prayer, and repentance.
That unplanned outpouring is raising hopes because a previous revival in 1970 on the Asbury campus was seen as a significant driver behind the Jesus Movement of the 70s. Paul Worcester, national collegiate director of the North American Mission Board for the Southern Baptist Convention, tweeted a video clip from a Sunday night meeting, writing that “God showed up” in Oahu, Hawaii’s North Shore.
“God showed up in a powerful way at the Young Adult night on the North Shore of Oahu last night! 12 indicated decisions to repent and trust Christ and many others made decisions to surrender and pursue personal revival! They even extended the meeting because how God was moving,” Worcester wrote.
Meanwhile, 3,745 miles away in Norman, Oklahoma, the Holy Spirit is on the move and a big opportunity for revival is coming to the campus of the University of Oklahoma.
In a recent Facebook post, evangelist Nick Hall reported his Pulse ministry has “booked the 86,000-seat football stadium at the University of Oklahoma for the largest student-led outreach I have ever heard of.”
Hall reminded his followers that God is faithful. “If he can use this broke and broken kid from North Dakota, with no connections, He can use you!!!” he wrote. “He’s moving today. Revival is in the air. Put up your sails and let him take you.” (READ MORE)
