LAKEWOOD, Co. — Dr. Donald Sweeting, Chancellor at Colorado Christian University, releases the following statement:
“Revival has brought a new thirst for God, an increase in prayer, conviction of sin, repentance and confession, reconciliation, salvation and worship to thousands on several university campuses. What a beautiful thing! What a needed thing! God often stirs the hearts of young people, and I’m thankful Asbury, Lee and Cedarville universities are witnessing a movement of God.
“University campuses — especially Christian colleges full of young adults sharpening their minds and searching to find their role in God’s great purpose — have always been a key place for great movements of the Holy Spirit. The Haystack Prayer Meeting, the First and Second Great Awakening began at Christian colleges where the fertile ground of commitment to Christ already existed. They resulted in a new evangelistic and missionary outreach, and in the formation of many of our colleges! Pray for a great awakening among students. I pray Colorado Christian University would see a similar movement of God.”
