WATCH: Baylor University Holds 72 Hour Prayer Revival Resulting in Dozens of Baptisms, Second Revival Scheduled

This past week, the students at Baylor University showed the nation what it means to be close to God when they engaged in FM27, a yearly tradition where students gather for prayer and revival.

“The purpose of FM72 is to stir a passion for Jesus Christ in the Baylor community,” said associate chaplain Charles Ramsey. “It is a time to take inventory of one’s own journey, to linger in prayer, and to recalibrate towards what is most important: our shared faith in Jesus Christ. Simply put, the goal is that every person experiences a clear, caring, and compelling invitation to know Jesus, and to find a discipleship community where they can grow and flourish.”

“We agreed that prayer is central and essential to the Christian life, and yet we were humbly aware of the paucity of attention we give to this,” the chaplain explained. “The tent provides a sense of pilgrimage and of impermanence. This is a special place and a special time consecrated to the Lord.”

The theme of the event was “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1) and it was held on Fountain Mall. The event had multiple tents constructed where students can come to pray, as reported by Breitbart.

“We hope that any person who enters, regardless of their spiritual journey or faith tradition, could walk through these stations and have a time of silent preparation, reflection, and petition,” Ramsey said. “There is no other reason to be there, no pretense, and no need for an excuse. We are here to seek the Lord. It is a vulnerable and yet endearing and empowering experience to pray – to ‘get spiritual’ with your friends and colleagues.”

“But something good, tangibly good, happens when we stop to pray. There is a wonder, and sense of joy in discovering prayer, and for many this opens the way to an ongoing and deepening devotional, a more personal faith and a love for the church,” he continued. “That is our hope: to engage more of the facets of Christianity in our community and to humbly invite greater participation.”

Due to the success of the event, at least 20 people were baptized and the university announced another 72-hour prayer revival from March 27th to March 30th.

This revival isn’t the first to be seen this year. Earlier this year, the student at Asbury University hosted a prayer revival that lasted for weeks.

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, the small Kentucky university saw tens of thousands of Christians from around the world flock to the university campus.

With such a massive influx of people to the campus, the administration was eventually forced to stop the revival, however, it seems that Baylor picked up the mantle.
