How Revival Starts

January 28, 2010

Revival is one of those things that are easy to recognize but difficult to create. Like momentum in a business or buzz in marketing, you can easily spot it but seldom reproduce it.

It comes from God.
It begins with a few people
It spreads to others.
Or it doesn't ...


Prayer is perhaps the only tool we have for fanning the flame of revival.

Last week I received a note from Stephanie Stout, one of Fall Creek's university students, who is in her senior year at Indiana University, studying broadcast journalism. She wrote--

[I'd like to] to petition people to pray for the Indiana University campus--or any campus. God has revealed to many of my friends, students across the nation, and me that our generation is about to have a revival. I'm so excited!

 To be a part of something this incredible is mind-blowing! But I know it cannot happen without our elders praying for us. I believe in my generation.

I went to Passion Conference and saw generosity from "poor college students" that took my breath away. I saw a desire to share Christ and do what we are called to do as Christians--tell others about the amazing love of Jesus.

Please join me in prayer for my school. The Enemy does not want this to happen. He is stirring apathy in hearts and creating intense distractions and spiritual warfare. But God is bigger and stronger. He wins. We need you!

Perhaps you could adopt a campus. Fall Creek has students attending 13 schools. Perhaps you could adopt one--or another that you know of.
  • Anderson University
  • Ball State University
  • Bucknell University
  • Butler University
  • Calvin College
  • Cornerstone University
  • Indiana Wesleyan University
  • Pittsburgh State University
  • Purdue University
  • Southern Wesleyan University
  • Strassburg University
  • Taylor University
  • The University of Illinois
What about you? Will you pray for revival among our university students?
