The Importance of Repentance in the Welsh Revival

Originally Songs of Revival: Hungry After God Himself was titled Songs of the Welsh Revival. Then the Asbury Outpouring began. As I write we're one year after the 298th hour of continuous worship, testimony, preaching, Scripture reading, Salvation, and rededication. We kn...

As I'm writing (2:22 p.m. Eastern) it's the hour the Asbury Outpouring started to build momentum on this day last year, four hours into the 374-hour service. Greg Haseloff, University Pastor at Asbury University, told me he first sensed something was different about 20-30 minutes after ...

Here's an article Joyce wrote for Intercessors for America about the chapel message that launched the Asbury Outpouring

We're still trying to figure out when the last of the worshipers from the Asbury Outpouring left Hughes Auditorium (post a comment if you know), but we connected with two people who left at midnight after the Collegiate Day of Prayer service ended, so that seems to have been the official close. Tha...

The team at Jesus Revolution chose to open on the same weekend as the Collegiate Day of Prayer (on a date set 200 years ago), but neither group knew they'd be drafting on the Asbury Outpouring!

Intercessors for America posted four articles I wrote about the film:

Joyce and I have just returned from the Asbury Outpouring. If you're not on our prayer team, you may not have heard, but Asbury University's February 8 service still hasn't ended!

Joyce shares her message on 2 Peter 3:14 from Asbury University as the Outpouring continues. She uses clips from interviews with Jeannine Brabon, who prayed for revival at Asbury University as a freshman in 1967.

Yesterday on Intercessors for America's Pray with America's Leaders Joyce and I reported again from the campus of Asbury University, where the outpouring continues, in its 214th hour as I write.
