In the aftermath of the Asbury revival, Purdue University appears to be experiencing its own revival. Pastor Dave Shockey of Purdue Christian Campus House shared with CBN News that several students had approached him about doing an event for the National Day of Prayer. The group had originally considered going to Asbury but felt led to do something at Purdue. “They asked me what I thought, and we’ve hosted prayer and worship events a bunch of different times for the NCDOP [National Collegiate Day of Prayer] over the years. We quickly pulled together an event,” Shockey said. Multiple ministries joined forces for the event, including the school’s Chi Alpha and GreekInterVarsity. Over 300 students at Purdue attended Asbury’s Collegiate Day of Prayer simulcast.

Shockey said they had decided to use the event to also baptize some students who had made recent decisions to follow Christ. “We had a couple of students who’d recently met the Lord through our Alpha ministry want to get baptized, so we had scheduled part of the night for their baptisms,” said Shockey. During the night, the group shared a message about baptism and following the Lord. “We talked about baptism and baptized the students who had planned to be baptized. Made an invitation for any others who wanted to be baptized, and a line started to form. We baptized about 8-10 more people and had to pause so we could keep worshipping and praying. Students shared testimonies and praises. Other students led corporate repentance and prayer,” Shockey added. By the end of the night, 4.5 hours of worship later, 21 students were baptized.

Dr. Malachi O’Brien shared an image of the event on Twitter. “Just received this in a text,” he wrote. “At Purdue University, CRU and Greek IVCF got together to watch and pray with the CDOP simulcast at Asbury … 300 students came! They brought a swimming pool because they were going to have three baptisms… instead, they had 20!” Evangelist Nick Hall, who attended the Asbury revival, shared that what happened at Asbury continues to spread. “God is moving. It’s not over. It’s just starting. I only left Asbury because I felt like I had to bring it home,” he said. Hall, who leads Pulse ministry, recently led an event in Minneapolis and reported that over 600 people attended. The event ended up lasting 53 hours. “I’m just seeing this breakout everywhere. You can’t end revival, revival isn’t owned by anyone, and it didn’t start by anyone. It’s a move of God, and if anything, on Thursday night, there was a release of what God had started, and it had already spread,” he said. “God is at work,” Hall said later in a video message. “And when God is at work, you just have to stay attuned and in tune with the Spirit. And just keep your sails up to say, ‘God, Would you move? Would you have your way? Would you do what only you would do.’”
