In the aftermath of the <\/span>Asbury revival<\/span><\/a>, Purdue University appears to be experiencing its own revival. Pastor Dave Shockey of Purdue Christian Campus House shared with\u00a0<\/span>CBN News<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0that several students had approached him about doing an event for the National Day of Prayer. The group had originally considered going to Asbury but felt led to do something at Purdue. \u201cThey asked me what I thought, and we\u2019ve hosted prayer and worship events a bunch of different times for the NCDOP [National Collegiate Day of Prayer] over the years. We quickly pulled together an event,\u201d Shockey said. Multiple ministries joined forces for the event, including the school\u2019s Chi Alpha and GreekInterVarsity. Over 300 students at Purdue attended Asbury\u2019s Collegiate Day of Prayer simulcast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shockey said they had decided to use the event to also baptize some students who had made recent decisions to follow Christ. \u201cWe had a couple of students who\u2019d recently met the Lord through our Alpha ministry want to get baptized, so we had scheduled part of the night for their baptisms,\u201d said Shockey. During the night, the group shared a message about baptism and following the Lord. \u201cWe talked about baptism and baptized the students who had planned to be baptized. Made an invitation for any others who wanted to be baptized, and a line started to form. We baptized about 8-10 more people and had to pause so we could keep worshipping and praying. Students shared testimonies and praises. Other students led corporate repentance and prayer,\u201d Shockey added. By the end of the night, 4.5 hours of worship later, 21 students were baptized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Malachi O\u2019Brien shared an image of the event on <\/span>Twitter<\/span><\/a>. \u201cJust received this in a text,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAt Purdue University, CRU and Greek IVCF got together to watch and pray with the CDOP simulcast at Asbury \u2026 300 students came! They brought a swimming pool because they were going to have three baptisms\u2026 instead, they had 20!\u201d Evangelist Nick Hall, who attended the Asbury revival, shared that what happened at Asbury continues to spread. \u201cGod is moving. It\u2019s not over. It\u2019s just starting. I only left Asbury because I felt like I had to bring it home,\u201d he said. Hall, who leads Pulse ministry, recently led an event in Minneapolis and reported that over 600 people attended. The event ended up lasting 53 hours. \u201cI\u2019m just seeing this breakout everywhere. You can\u2019t end revival, revival isn\u2019t owned by anyone, and it didn\u2019t start by anyone. It\u2019s a move of God, and if anything, on Thursday night, there was a release of what God had started, and it had already spread,\u201d he said. \u201cGod is at work,\u201d Hall said later in a video message. \u201cAnd when God is at work, you just have to stay attuned and in tune with the Spirit. And just keep your sails up to say, \u2018God, Would you move? Would you have your way? Would you do what only you would do.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
