On February 3, 1970 a chapel service started on the campus of Asbury College in Wilmore, KY. On February 10th, after a week of repentance, sharing, testimonies and worship the chapel service came to a close. So what happened to a few hundred Bible College students and professors that week in the winter of 1970? One word—REVIVAL!! God showed up in ways that week that brought salvation and deliverance to those who didn’t even know they needed it.
On November 12, 2010 I was with four other guys who are involved in our FUSE high school ministry. That night we watched a documentary on the Asbury revival. As we scarffed down our monster cheeseburgers that night, we were blown away by the power and love of God that we saw in that documentary. It challenged us to pray more, and pray harder.
So pray we did. We were awake until 3:00am that morning! It was an incredible night together before the Lord, and now we, like the students of Asbury, have committed ourselves to praying for 30 minutes each day for 30 days asking God to reveal himself in new and powerful ways.
Now, the vision has been shared with the rest of our FUSE group and many other high-schoolers in the area who are committing to the 30/30 challenge. Students are making phone calls, sending text messages, emails, and facebook posts holding each other accountable. It’s amazing to watch God capture the hearts of these teens.
