One morning in 1970, without warning, all heaven broke loose during Asbury (KY) College's 10 a.m. chapel service.....thus began the "Asbury Revival" which later gave birth to the "Anderson Revival". Students from Asbury college began to spread across the country telling about what God had done on their campus.
Wherever the Asburyians traveled, revival followed. By the summer of 1970, the revival had reached more than 130 other colleges, seminaries and Bible schools, and scores of churches, according to published accounts. It spread from New York to California, and even to South America.
When several Asbury students gave their testimonies at the Meridian Street Church of God in Anderson, Indiana, for instance, the church experienced a spontaneous revival that lasted 50 consecutive nights. According to old clippings from Indiana newspapers, the Anderson church soon became so packed that the services had to be moved to a school gymnasium. Up to 2,500 people a night flocked to the gym in hopes of being touched by God.
This is a brief summary of the "Anderson Revival" of 1970. If you have stories, photos or memories you would like to share please email us at missionarymike2004@yahoo.com
