It's been one year since the biggest U.S. revival in more than 50 years broke out at Wilmore, Kentucky's Asbury University. Although it lasted only two weeks and two days, the impact was felt far and wide, not only on campus but around the world.

Asbury President Dr. Kevin Brown says there's still a feeling of expectancy in the air, even a year later.

"Our students continue to be hungry. They continue to lead. They've gone and they've shared, we've had over 50 groups go to different ministries and churches, both in the United States and overseas," Brown said.

For 16 days and nights, students and others worshipped and experienced the presence of God. What began as student-led prayer at a scheduled chapel service on February 8, 2023, led to something extraordinary.

This is great. I think personal experience is valuable, and I commend their specific pursuit of holiness as it is undrstood in the holiness tradition. But when does it start feeding hungry mouths, helping the sick, visiting prisoners, etc. It's been a year. Have those kinds of things resulted? I don't know.

Meh. Doesn’t impact me, though I’m sure those who went probably enjoyed it. Not so much a quantifiable news story, but an advertisement for a religious event.

It’s generated wide interest. I expect as so much around us is already in the toilet that those who still listen for His voice will reprise that event with even more frequency. How could we not?
