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.
