When God Walked On Campus

A brief history of evangelical awakenings at American colleges and universities. Do you long for revival on your college or university campus ? Is your heart burdened for the students you interact with each day? Here are some accounts of revivals in the past two centuries that will whet your appetite for the transforming work of God’s Spirit on your campus today. From the academic halls of America-Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Brown, Middlebury, Union, Bethel, Wheaton, Williams, Trinity, Ashland, and many others-comes the stirring stories of awakening and revival. On both secular and Christian campuses, the moving of God was evident as men and women were converted and stirred to ministry and foreign service. Out of these pockets of awakening came the formation or strengthening of student and campus fellowships such as InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Youth for Christ, Campus Crusade for Christ, Navigators and the YMCA. The powerful ministries of men such as Timothy Dwight, J. Edwin Orr, Martyn Lloyd-Jones and Charles Spurgeon were used to promote revival in these seasons of collegiate awakening and a sermon from each has been selected to quicken your heart and challenge your thinking. May this brief look at history equip you with fresh hope for revival today!
