I just got an e-mail from a friend. Apparently a revival has broken out at my alma mater Asbury College. It started at Monday morning's chapel and was still going strong yesterday. I haven't been able to get any details about today yet, but here are a few links and excerpts.

Prof Wilder had a great insight tonight. This revival is nothing like the 1970's revival. The only similarities are that it is in Hughes and Almighty God brought it on. She said, "The 70's revival was a revival that stopped normal life. People could not leave Hughes for the world. All classes were canceled. This revival is different. We go to class, we come back to revival, we eat, we come back. This revival is more like you come to get fed and go take God with you as you go." Sounds familiar. Everything you do is either worship or sin. This revival is reminding us of how we could be seeking God fervently in everyday life.

WILMORE, KY—(Feb. 8, 2005) Praise, worship and release continue as students are still gathered around the altar in Hughes Auditorium where they have been since Monday. After today’s powerful chapel celebrating the work of the Holy Spirit on the Asbury College campus, God’s work carries on.
College president Paul A. Rader led the chapel service this morning as students, for the last three days, have converged on Hughes Auditorium for prayer and intercession for the campus and worldwide community.

James,
I had heard about this revival yesterday. It is good that you have blogged on the topic. Just curious how long did the 1970's revival last (in terms of days)?
Joe,
Here is what it says at Forerunner, the first Google hit:
...it [chapel] lasted 185 hours non-stop, 24 hours a day. Intermittently, it continued for weeks. Ultimately, it spread across the United States and into foreign countries."
I was a student there from 1979-1982 and there were a few "mini-revivals" with chapel lasting anywhere from 2-8 hours.
James
JPS,
I just heard about this revival yesterday, as an Asbury alumni, I was thrilled to hear of this movement of the Holy Spirit! I pray the Lord contiues to move in powerful ways! I hope this movement spreads like Holy fire!
