Revival is taking place as of Wednesday, February 8th’s chapel service on the campus of Asbury University as reported by several people on Facebook . I cannot get any other information from the school’s website or any other source other that the many FB posts. I have included some of them below.

 

Here is the first post I read from Eliza Crawford:

” There is a revival breaking out at Asbury University! The 10 am chapel service has not ended! Students and faculty are worshipping and many have not left at all while some have gone to classes and returned. There is no sign of this service ending! It’s growing! They are now being joined by students and faculty from Asbury Seminary across the street and from students across Lexington who are hearing what us happening and want to join them. GOD IS MOVING IN WILMORE, KY! Pray for this revival to spread and for lives to be changed!” She continues,” Lives are changing. God is still moving. If you are anywhere close, I implore you to come and experience what is going on here. The Spirit and presence of God is evident as soon as you walk in the room. It almost smacks you in the face. Hughes is remaining open again tonight and corporate worship starts back up at 9 am. Come be a part of this wildfire!” For more comments on her experience go here.

 

The second report is from the Asbury Theological Seminary FB page: “God is on the move in a special way at Asbury University and Asbury Theological Seminary! Beginning during their chapel service at AU, God began pouring out his love among the students in a profound way. The students continued praying and worshiping even though chapel had concluded, very reminiscent of the 1970 revival in Wilmore. And a few minutes ago when I left at 1030pm, there were still hundreds of people there worshiping, being prayed for, repenting, and beginning to follow Jesus!

Pray for this move of the Lord to continue! Pray for people’s hearts to be fertile ground for the move of the Spirit! Pray that all of this would be to the glory of the Father!” Here is the link to this post.

 

Another report from Daryl Blank: “MY 5 HOURS AT Asbury University REVIVAL! I headed down for the 2 hour trip shortly after hearing what was going on at Asbury. The Asbury Collegian wrote, “Revival strikes Asbury once again! As I approached the Chapel, I could hear the sound of worship. This is where everyone was! Walking in, I realized I was entering holy ground. This was day two of revival. Worshipers stayed all night. It was apparent that these young people were not caught up in revival, but in the revival-er. God had come! Unexpectantly!” He goes on, ” Everyone sang! New songs, old songs. One of the first songs I heard was “What shall wash away my sin, nothing but the blood of Jesus.” Some laid prostrate in the aisle. Others were standing. Still others were grouped together praying in corners of the room. Between songs, worshipers stood and confessed their sins. Young and old participated. God is no respecter of persons. He is pouring out His spirit on all who seek him. Later, as music played, we were invited to come to the altar to repent. I wept… I noticed many around me had no shoes and in some cases, no socks. We were on Holy ground and they knew it…No One person was in charge. No one dared to get in the way of what God was doing. Reconciliation, forgiveness, and healing was in this place. As I was leaving people were still arriving.” For more of his detailed report go here.

 

A fourth report on Dr. Jim Garlow’s FB page: ” Three first hand reports directly from Hughes Auditorium at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky – about the revival that broke out yesterday at 10am and has continued all day yesterday, all night last night & all day today: I’m in Hughes now. It’s getting deeper and wider!”

Another report: “More are arriving. WORSHIP!!”

 

A third person: “There’s a uproar coming from Hughes tonight. A TANGIBLE thickness is present and there is a weight in the air. Ppl keep pouring in.”

Also I was just told a bus load of students from Indiana Wesleyan University is on the way And Was just told that the Asbury revival as now impacted campus No 2: Ohio Christian University YES !!! PRAISE GOD!”
