The Emerging Youth Revival
This week, CBN News reported that revival is continuing on college campuses, stating that:
“The ongoing spiritual awakening unfolding on college campuses across the U.S. reached the University of Central Florida on Tuesday night, leading to hundreds of new salvations and baptisms.
“Tonya Prewett, the founder and visionary of the UniteUS campus outreach ministry, reports 1,600 students made decisions to ‘go all in with Jesus... revival is not slowing down!’
“Over 5,000 students gathered at the University of Central Florida to lift the name of Jesus. Hundreds of students were baptized, and many who identified as atheists now identify as Christians. What a night! What a God!
“UniteUS has held two dozen Christian revival events on college campuses since the movement started three years ago. It all kicked off after the Asbury Awakening of February 2023 signaled a fresh move of the Spirit of God among American students.”(1)
An outpouring of Holy Spirit also began on Wednesday of this week at Southeastern University in Lakeland, FL. It continued throughout the night and into yesterday. Because I record these posts the day before, I don’t know at this time (Thursday afternoon) if the worship and prayer have continued into today. Here is their YouTube link.
The revival ministry, UniteUS, has had outreaches on campuses such as Auburn University, Florida State, Alabama, Georgia, Cincinnati, Grand Canyon, Tennessee, Oklahoma, NC State, Purdue University, and the University of South Florida. More than 120,000 students have participated, with thousands making decisions to follow Christ. This past December, UniteUS branched out to reach high school students with 1,000 surrendering their hearts in Nashville. You can find out more about them at UniteUsMovement.com. The website lists upcoming events, including Pittsburg, FSU, and Samford.
God is moving among the youth around the world. Throughout history, God has often chosen to begin outpourings of His Spirit among the next generation - young hearts hungry for truth, freedom, and purpose. Today, we are witnessing this again, a divine awakening sweeping across college campuses. A fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit is stirring the hearts of thousands of students, igniting a fire of faith that is transforming lives and reshaping our nation's future.
This is not just revival. It is also a sign that God’s Spirit is once again moving in power to reawaken the church, awaken nations, and fulfill His divine purposes for this generation. It is a kairos moment(2) - a divine opportunity for the body of Christ to rise up in faith and partner with heaven for the greatest awakening in history.
As I stated above, God has often chosen young people in past generations to be the catalysts of spiritual renewal. From the student revivals of the 18th and 19th centuries to the powerful moves of the 20th century, the youth have often been at the forefront of God’s plans. Today, we are seeing this pattern repeat itself—God is awakening a generation on the campuses.
Young people are standing boldly, professing their faith in Christ, being baptized, and declaring that Jesus is their Lord. These conversions are not just moments of individual salvation; they are prophetic declarations that the kingdom of God is breaking into the heart of education systems, challenging the darkness and establishing His light.
Reports from campuses throughout the nations tell of thousands of students encountering Jesus through dreams, visions, and powerful testimonies of salvation. Baptisms are happening in dormitories, campus chapels, and even in lakes and rivers near college towns. These are not isolated incidents but a widespread movement—a wave of revival sweeping through nations.
This revival is characterized by genuine repentance, hunger for the Word, and a desire to see God move throughout the earth. Students are not just interested in superficial religion; they are hungry for authentic encounters with the living God. They’re rising up with a newfound zeal to share the Good News of Christ, to pray for their campuses, and to see the Holy Spirit come in power.
Prayer and Worship Are Fueling the Fire
At the heart of this movement is a renewed passion for prayer and worship. Students are gathering in prayer meetings that are overflowing with the presence of God. Worship is erupting on campuses as young voices cry out with passion and abandonment. These moments of prayer and worship are becoming portals for divine revelation and transformation. They’re breaking down barriers, tearing down strongholds, and ushering in God’s glory.
This awakening is marked by a tangible desire to see others come to Christ. Students are stepping out boldly—sharing their faith on social media, engaging in street evangelism, and forming discipleship groups. They understand that revival is not just about personal salvation but about reaching others for Christ. Many campuses are witnessing the birth of student-led prayer groups and outreach ministries.
A Prophetic Sign
This movement on college campuses is a prophetic sign—a divine forecast of what God has begun on the earth. Holy Spirit is being poured out on all flesh, and young men and women are receiving visions and dreams, prophetic words, and divine assignments (Acts 2:16-21). God will use this generation to carry the torch of revival. These students are not just the future of the church; they are the church now, armed with power and purpose.
Our prayers are crucial at this time. They are the engine that will propel the revival forward, creating a spiritual atmosphere that sustains it. Persevere in declaring God’s promises over campuses and cities. This is a season of divine breakthrough. Our prayers are breaking strongholds, releasing the Spirit’s power, and opening the heavens for an unprecedented move of God.
In Conclusion
This is just the beginning. The revival on campuses is gaining momentum, and the Spirit of God is inviting the church to join in. Now is the time for believers everywhere to pray more fervently, believe more boldly, and partner with heaven in seeing this move multiply. We must continue to cry out, to declare His promises, and to believe that earth’s greatest harvest of souls is on the horizon. Partner with heaven! Be part of this historic awakening, one that will sweep across America and the world.
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you” (Isaiah 60:1).
Pray with me:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, longing for a mighty outpouring of Your Spirit upon our campuses across America. Lord, You see the hunger, brokenness, and confusion that grip the hearts of students and faculty alike. We cry out for revival—an awakening that will shake the very foundations of our institutions and ignite a passion for Your truth and righteousness.
We ask You to pour out Your Spirit in power, to break every chain of sin and ignite a fire of holiness within every student and leader. Send a fresh wave of conviction, repentance, and renewal. Raise up mighty warriors for Your Kingdom—students, professors, administrators—who will stand for Christ and proclaim Your Gospel with boldness and love.
We know that revival has begun. Now, in the name of Jesus, release Your Spirit to sweep across every campus, transforming minds, hearts, and lives. We believe You are able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all we ask or imagine. Come, Lord Jesus, come. Let Your Kingdom come - NOW - on campuses everywhere, bringing Heaven to earth. Amen.
Our decree:
We decree that revival has begun and will continue on campuses in America and throughout the world.
