‘Asbury is already different’: After the Holy Spirit hits your campus, what happens next?

Jennifer McChord is Asbury University’s vice president of enrollment and marketing, and her daughter is a first year student there. She tells Premier Christianity what those first few days on campus were like, and what Asbury has learned from the outpouring they have been praying for so long to receive

My daughter is a student here at Asbury. She, and a couple of friends, have really been feeling led to pray for revival for a couple of years now. And we’ve heard story after story of Asbury alumni, people in the community, people all over the world, not even connected to Asbury, praying for revival for decades.

On 8th February, I got a text from my daughter at 12:05pm. We have chapel every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There was nothing extraordinary about that morning; chapel concluded at 10:50am officially, and students left for class. But there was a call to the altar at the end of the service for anybody that wanted prayer, or wanted to accept Jesus.
