Asbury isn’t done yet! As the revival continues, let’s pray that it spreads to our communities!
From CBN News. Christian evangelist Nick Hall provided a space over the weekend for the Asbury revival to continue after Asbury University shut it down.
Get involved in state level prayer with IFA.
There was plenty of space at the Rupp Arena in downtown Lexington, Kentucky, located about 30 minutes from Asbury in Wilmore. And while hundreds showed up for the last-minute, low-key, free-flowing event, the revival meeting did not gain enough publicity beforehand to fill the massive arena.
Another Revival is being held at Rupp Arena until 11pm tonight.
It is hosted by an organization called Pulse. Their hope is to have students from revival meetings nationwide gathering for a send off.

Hall told WTVQ-TV he received numerous messages from people wanting to see the Awakening continue in Lexington, so he was able to get the arena. …
Asbury’s president had said options would be opened up in the central Kentucky area after he closed down the revival. But then potential sites were never announced. That’s when Hall said he simply wanted to provide a space for God to keep moving, according to ChurchLeaders.com.
Hall told the outlet he attended the revival at Asbury and “God really worked at my heart.” What caught his attention almost immediately was the authenticity of the event.
“It changed me forever,” he said.
Greg Gordon, the founder of SermonIndex.net, noted on social media some of the testimonies from Rupp Arena on Sunday, including the thought, “Could this be the Great Awakening?” …

Asbury Ended Public Worship on Feb. 20, But Movement Goes On
As CBN News reported, Asbury announced on Feb. 17 that public worship services in the school’s Hughes Auditorium would end on Monday, Feb. 20. Then beginning Tuesday, Feb. 21, services available to the public would be held at another location in the central Kentucky area. It concluded for students with the National Collegiate Day of Prayer on Feb. 23.
Asbury President Dr. Kevin J. Brown, Ph.D. posted a four-minute video update to Twitter on Feb. 19. Brown said he believed Asbury was not the keeper or source of this movement, pointing out that it has already gone across the U.S. and around the world.
“We look to other schools, other churches or ministry communities as co-commissioners in this movement that’s taking shape for us,” he said. …
The Outpouring Continues In Churches
Meanwhile, there have also been reports of the revival reaching certain churches across the country.
