Tennessee Christian Middle School Sees Revival, Commits to Discipleship
“God can speak in showers or waves, and at last week’s Discipleship Days, He decided to flood our campus with His presence.”
As Christian colleges have seen waves of revival inspired by the ongoing event at Asbury University in Kentucky, one Christian middle school recently saw students compelled into a similar worship event, in which several young men and women made professions of faith.
The gathering came as Grace Christian Academy of Knoxville in Tennessee was holding its annual Discipleship Days event, which aims to see students “enriched by God’s Word, grow in love for Jesus, and put their faith into action.”
A spokesperson told The Christian Post that following last Friday’s planned worship service, several students “felt compelled to continue.”
“Leadership pivoted any planned afternoon activities and allowed students to lead one another in song and prayer. This led to students repenting, confessing and seeking Christ,” the representative said.
Upper School President Angie Nordhorn said that “God can speak in showers or waves, and at last week’s Discipleship Days, He decided to flood our campus with His presence,” according to the statement from the school.
“As a tenured member of the GCA community, I only remember one other time, in 2010, when we experienced a profound demonstration of the Holy Spirit,” she added. “I pray that the Lord will continue to flood our halls with His presence. Discipleship Days is only a ripple in the ocean of what can happen at GCA.”
The school says they plan to disciple the students who have made professions of faith as well as hold small group discussions on the outpouring on Friday.
Friends, our children are watching what is going on in the world and how we respond. They are yearning for answers and for hope, and we know that they can find it in the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise God for the movement of His Spirit among these precious young people. May it spread like wildfire across our nation and world!
