Despite the event ultimately coming to a structured close, Baldwin said \u201chardly a day has gone by\u201d and that she hasn\u2019t heard anything about how the outpouring reached people across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cIt\u2019s really exciting. And so it\u2019s been many stories from people all over connecting to share their testimony.\u201d As for the students Baldwin works with, she said it\u2019s been powerful to see the \u201cspirit of revival\u201d they continue carrying with them and what God is doing in their lives because of it. Undoubtedly, the Asbury outpouring immediately had a profound impact on the Christian college campus, but Baldwin affirmed the long-lasting and powerful ways the school was transformed.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hnO1qnhzEx0?si=G44booI7R9gu3Vdu\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cImmediately after the outpouring \u2026 the months of March and April [2023], at the end of our semester last year, our campus really was exhausted,\u201d she said. \u201cI like to say that the flood of the outpouring came up, and when the waters receded, there was some debris on the beach.\u201d Baldwin continued, \u201cWe were tired emotionally, physically, spiritually.\u201d At first, she and others wondered what God might be doing. Despite still being excited over the outpouring, she said there was a \u201csubdued sense\u201d on the campus. Months later, in the fall, though, she said students returned with a renewed energy and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur students came back with this spirit of revival,\u201d Baldwin said. \u201cAnd what I mean by that is lingering after chapel to worship and pray. I mean, they\u2019ve always done that a little bit, but now it\u2019s just a part of our regular campus life.\u201d And that\u2019s not all. Baldwin said spontaneous worship happens in the afternoons and evenings on campus, summarizing these activities as raising the \u201cspiritual temperature of our students.\u201d Young people have also been talking about Jesus more frequently and are \u201cpraying together in a more elevated way.\u201d Thus, the \u201cspirit of revival\u201d so many saw in February 2023 returned powerfully.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the Asbury outpouring was brought to a close as students and the campus returned to everyday life, but the lessons remained. \u201cWhen people hear the story of how students lingered, how students were moved to repentance, how they gave testimony, how they confessed sin, how people turned to the altar and turned to Jesus \u2014 it\u2019s as though people step into that,\u201d she said of those who learn what happened. \u201cIt\u2019s like an invitation, and people respond to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for Baldwin, she said the \u201cgreat expectancy of the crowds\u201d during the outpouring is something that has remained with her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A professor who witnessed the incredible spiritual events at Asbury
