The Awakening at Asbury University
In February 2023, a significant spiritual awakening began at Asbury University, where students engaged in continuous worship after a chapel service. This spontaneous event saw hundreds, perhaps thousands, of worshippers drawn to the Hughes Auditorium, transcending age, background, and beliefs. Reports emerged of confession, repentance, and healing, resulting in intense participation and a growing movement that attracted tens of thousands of visitors within two weeks. The surge was fueled by social media, with many learning about the event from platforms like YouTube and TikTok, illustrating the powerful impact of digital communication in spreading spiritual happenings.
