The Asbury College Revival Continues Three Years Later and Has Spread Across the Nation

from News In Focus with Chris Long · host Chris Long

The Asbury College Revival Continues Three Years Later and Has Spread Across the Nation In February of 2023, what began as a student-led chapel grew into a present-day revival. First, on the campus of Asbury College in Kentucky, and then spread like a wildfire to numerous universities and colleges and high school campuses across the country. The outdoor meetings of open air preaching, decisions for Christ, and baptism all but ended with the public assassination of Charlie Kirk, an outspoken Christian conservative. The question was: Was that the end of the movement? Suspicion, conspiracy, and fear filled the atmosphere among the college student crowd. Then, something happened. The movement hadn't ended; it moved indoors to churches across America. Congregations began seeing surges of young people under the age of forty fill the pews on Sunday morning. Now, the open-air meetings have continued. Here to discuss the new revival is my pastor friend, Bishop John T. Coats. This is the first in a four-part series on the new revival. JOEL 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
