God is always working in the hearts of university students throughout the campuses of America.
But there are times when the Spirit’s work intensifies, leading to campus awakenings. To read about these times of spiritual outpouring is to be inspired, challenged, and filled with hope.
Are we in the early stages of a holy outbreak on our campuses today?
Many Americans heard about the Asbury Revival which began on February 8 last year, and it was certainly the most notable in terms of garnering attention. But it was not the only significant outpouring on a college or university campuses.
A February 27, 2023 report from Regent University, a Christian school, began with these words:
“As revival moves to college campuses across the nation, Regent University students, faculty, and staff are experiencing a miraculous move of God. The Holy Spirit is stirring hearts, prompting repentance, and pouring out spiritual renewal on the Regent University campus and surrounding community.”
Again, this was one example among many. A December 2023 report noted that,
“Lee University, a private Christian college in Cleveland, Tennessee is 250 miles away from Asbury University, but students from this small school felt compelled to take part in what was taking place and it began a movement of revival on their campus.”
And this:
“An impromptu baptism at Auburn University in Alabama started with one student wanting to be baptized but grew to roughly 200 people who decided to give their lives to Christ.
“In September, Hundreds of students made a public declaration of their new life in Christ by dipping in a lake near Red Barn as spectators watched in awe.”
This, and more, all from 2023.
Last week, I received a text with even more exciting news . . .
