Students at Western Kentucky University of Bowling Green have been holding gatherings, including one last month that was attended by a few hundred people on the main lawn of the campus to worship and pray together and share their testimonies.
Tommy Johnson, a campus minister for WKU’s Baptist Campus Ministry, told The Christian Post that the gatherings were directly tied to the revival at Asbury.
Johnson said, “After returning from Asbury, several of (the students) gathered for prayer and worship at the chapel on WKU’s campus and invited other students to join that night.”
Ohio State University also held a worship following the Asbury meetings on the second floor of the Student Union building which lasted into the early hours the next morning.
Pastor Aaron Fry of Sozo Church in Columbus, Ohio, told CP that he attended the Asbury revival and the OSU prayer and worship gathering along with his wife: He said, “There were people in the room that have been praying for revival on campus for at least 15 years. My wife and I went to support and pray alongside these students. I believe that those who are blazing the trail at OSU are more qualified in these moments to speak into this.”
Priscilla Wan, who is involved in campus ministry at OSU said, “Above all, I think that the students are simply wanting to minister to the Lord with prayer and worship regardless of whether ‘revival’ breaks out.”
