Monday, February 20, marked the thirteenth consecutive day, and the concluding public service, of a new, fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Asbury University. This ongoing gathering started at the Christian school in Wilmore, Kentucky, but it has spread far beyond Wilmore to many other schools, such as Cedarville University and Lee University…

It was a normal Wednesday chapel service, in Hughes Auditorium. But a dozen students stayed afterword for prayer, and students kept coming back to the chapel. Then the group of students grew, and never left, staying for prayer, repentance, worship, reading of scripture, and exhortation.

The Jesus Revolution will hit theatres Feb. 24, telling the story of the Jesus People Movement, which roared to life in 1970. Other famous revivals include America’s First and Second Great Awakenings, the Brownsville revival and Azusa Street. There’s the 100-year prayer meeting of the Moravians. I’m aware of Christian leaders researching the significance of revivals including the Asbury College Revival, Cane Ridge, and the great Welsh Revival. But we don’t hear so much about the East African Revival, which ignited in 1929 and lasted for decades.
