A days-long chapel service at Asbury University in Wilmore is still ongoing.
It began on Wednesday, Feb. 8, and, on Monday, Feb. 13, it was still going. Prayers, praise, worship music and testimonies - all of it, people say, a movement they themselves could not have started.
The service is being described as a revival, “a movement that only God could orchestrate and keep going.”
What began with students has blossomed and grown to include people from all over the country. People from as far away as Oregon have heard about this and are showing up to sing, raise their hands in praise or kneel down to pray.
On Monday, Fultz wrote the revival had reached the Lee campus, writing: "A mighty move of God started this morning at Lee and it has been building throughout the day. We are approaching the 10th hour, nothing but voices in prayer, worship, and repentance."
He also included a video taken of the worship in the campus's Stone Chapel. Students were coming to the chapel, crying out to God, praying, and repenting.
Cedarville University President Dr. Thomas White was on the ground at Asbury over the weekend, and said students at his campus in Ohio were lingering to worship after this week's daily 10 a.m. chapel services.
"Chapel @Cedarville yesterday (Tuesday) kept going until after 1 p.m. We gathered again last night at 8 p.m. for prayer and praise, which lasted another two hours with students still gathering in smaller groups when I left at 11," White said in a Tuesday morning Facebook post. "I love our students and their passion for Jesus! God may be stirring hearts across the country. Pray! Pray for wisdom on how to steward this moment and for a genuine authentic outpouring of God’s Grace and power."

The thing about this revival or faith movement is that it is starting to happen at colleges, where leftist liberals with their anti-Christian sentiments abound. To me that seems to be a strong indication of divine inspiration the way this revival is springing up out of colleges, a sign you might say. God can and will move anywhere throughout his kingdom.

well it looks like it's happening at Bible colleges which are by nature more spiritual.
would be awesome of some of the secular schools would experience this
A Kentucky university chapel has been the site of an impromptu prayer event that has continued unceasingly for an entire week. The event has drawn thousands, with some driving six hours or more to participate in the faithful display. Now Christians from as far as Singapore are traveling to the chapel to take part in the prayers, which have been live streamed on TikTok for the last week.
The private Christian university’s movement inspired a revival of its own on NKU’s campus on Wednesday night.
Hundreds of students, faculty and staff made their way to Loch Norse and the steps of The Oakley and Eva G. Farris Amphitheater, singing songs of worship, saying prayer and some even being baptized in the waters of Loch Norse.
Senior Patrick Flynn, a member of the campus ministry College Life, could be seen playing guitar and singing songs of praise on Wednesday night. The organizational leadership major said his inspiration for a revival-based event came after he visited Asbury for himself on Monday.
“You could feel the presence of God in that room,” Flynn said of Hughes Memorial Auditorium at Asbury, the place where revival began on Feb. 8 and has continued ever since. “I was sitting with my friend and he was like, ‘How do we walk away from this different?’”
In a statement posted to social media, Asbury University President Kevin Brown announced the last evening public service will be held Sunday night at 7:30 p.m. Public worship will continue in the afternoons through Wednesday, Feb. 22, at 2 p.m. each day. Then, it will move to a structured schedule that limits visitors to young people until Friday, when services will move away from the university.
The university designated Monday as the "concluding public worship service" of the event, stating that from Tuesday onwards services would be moved off campus...Our town’s institutions and our town’s infrastructure is just not in a place to absorb the influx of the blessed guests that we have had," said Asbury University President Kevin Brown, according to Religion News Service.
On Monday, he was at Lee University a private Christian college in Cleveland, Tennessee. In a video posted to social media, Kendrick, standing outside of the school's chapel, said: "There's no show here. There is no spectacle other than seeing hearts transformed."
"Revival is still going on. That chapel behind me is still filled," he said. "It's been almost two weeks now, and I think that is amazing. My family and I have come up here for a couple of days and just joined in on what God's doing. It is incredible!"
