This week we’re talking about the “Asbury Revival.” This “revival” or “awakening” began with a chapel service at Asbury University on February 8th and turned into a period of non-stop worship ever since. However, at the time of this recording, the plan from the University is to conclude this on February 22nd. This is being released on the 23rd, so we’ll see if there are any new developments. But I wanted us to talk about this today.
STORY – Asbury Revival a “Spontaneous Outpouring”
“Students at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky have been engaged across the past week in what is being described by some participants as an organic, unplanned revival.”
[…]
“What we know: a February 8 chapel service (viewable online here) concluded with an invitation for students to receive prayer. Dozens stayed, worship leaders continued to play music, and even more returned. One week later, it has yet to conclude. Evenings now see overflow crowds spill onto the steps of the Hughes Auditorium (seating capacity: 1,489) with an up to three hour wait to enter. A smaller 375-seat auditorium has also been filled, as has the 660-seat Estes Chapel at Asbury Theological Seminary (a separate, but collegial institution) across the street, and the Great Commission Fellowship at Wilmore United Methodist Church has hosted an additional overflow site.” (Institute of Religion & Democracy)
