Over 20 Students Baptized As Revival Hits Baylor University

The revival spirit continues to spread across college campuses

This week, over 20 students were baptized at a 72-hour Spirit-filled revival from March 19-22.

The event was organized by Baylor University’s Office of Spiritual Life in partnership with several other campus ministries and churches, CBN News reported.

The theme for the event was "Lord, teach us to pray,” based on Luke 11:1. The event culminated with over 20 people being baptized on the final evening.

"The purpose of FM72 is to stir a passion for Jesus Christ in the Baylor community," said Charles Ramsey, Ph.D., associate chaplain and director for Baylor’s Campus Ministries, in a statement. "It is a time to take inventory of one's own journey, to linger in prayer, and to recalibrate towards what is most important: our shared faith in Jesus Christ."

"Simply put, the goal is that every person experiences a clear, caring, and compelling invitation to know Jesus, and to find a discipleship community where they can grow and flourish," he added.

72 hours of prayer & worship in the heart of campus on Baylor University. 20 water baptized last night. The hunger for God is palpable in this younger generation. “I believe we are on the edge of a great move of God.” - John Bevere @JohnBevere #asburyrevival 🔥

The Baylor revival comes amid a wave of revival meetings on college campuses inspired by the weeks-long prayer and worship session at Asbury University, Kentucky.
