BOLIVAR, Mo. 鈥� 鈥淭he Awakening,鈥� a three-day student-led event for the sole purpose of seeking God to bring revival within the University family and Bolivar community, will be held at Pike Auditorium on the Bolivar campus Friday-Sunday, Oct. 23-25.

鈥淪everal weeks ago, I felt the Lord鈥檚 calling for the need to see revival at Southwest Baptist University,鈥� said Tyler Eads, a junior accounting and Christian studies major from Neosho. 鈥淚 am led to believe that there is a great need for a spiritual awakening at the university, and it will only be through a sovereign act of God that this will occur.鈥�

Each day will offer a gathering from 6-8 p.m. in Pike Auditorium in Mabee Chapel, featuring student preachers, prayer time, Bible readings, student testimonies, worship and more.

Night one of 鈥淭he Awakening鈥� will focus on the Gospel, with the second night focusing on man鈥檚 response to the Gospel, and night three on God鈥檚 glory.

Students will have additional opportunities to learn about and practice spiritual disciplines such as prayer, Bible study, confession and lifestyle evangelism.

Seeing a student take the lead on an event such as 鈥淭he Awakening鈥� is of great encouragement to Dr. Matt Kimbrough, division head of The Courts Redford Division of Christian Ministry.

鈥淢y role in facilitating 鈥楾he Awakening鈥� has given me great joy this semester,鈥� Kimbrough said. 鈥淲e are not waiting for revival to begin on Oct. 23-25. We are asking God to spread the spirit of revival that has already begun among our students, including Tyler and his team. I am asking believers to join us in praying for God to awaken hearts to the beauty of his grace and the power of the Gospel.

鈥淢aybe 鈥楾he Awakening鈥� might be the spark God uses to stoke the fire of revival on the 欧美视频 campus, throughout Missouri, and even across the world. To that end, I long for pastors and churches to pray for this event and join me in fasting on Friday, Oct. 23 as we beg the Lord to bring an awakening.鈥�

While students are the main audience, 欧美视频/SWBC alumni, church leaders, faculty and staff, and all who desire spiritual awakening are encouraged to join. Physical distancing and masking will be required for each session.

鈥淲ill you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?鈥� (Psalm 85:6, ESV).

鈥淭hat鈥檚 the vision,鈥� Eads said. 鈥淭hroughout the Bible, God demonstrates a great desire to revive spiritually dead hearts and return those who have wandered to loving obedience.

鈥淕od has been preparing 欧美视频 for such a revival, especially in the midst of the pandemic. There is a hunger across campus to experience the precious reality of knowing God and being known by God. Such a spiritual awakening is dependent entirely on prayer. It calls for corporate penitence, fasting and prayer. And, I want you to join me.鈥�
