REVIVAL CONTINUES THROUGH A STUDENT-LED STADIUM EVENT IN OKLAHOMA CITY ON SATURDAY APRIL 29


NORMAN, Okla., April 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revival is set to continue through a major stadium event to take place on Saturday, April 29 at the University of Oklahoma (OU) in Norman, Oklahoma

OU students Josh Robinson and Nathan Wong started praying for revival many months ago. They formed a core team that has now grown to over 150 students. In an exciting development, the team that prayed for a stadium-sized evangelistic event has watched those plans come to reality. The evangelistic event, called FTS (because they want to fill the stadium) will be held on April 29 at Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

“There is true power in the simplicity of the Gospel,” says OU student Josh Robinson. “We want to bring non-believers and believers into this stadium to hear about the love of Jesus. We believe this event will serve as a catalyst for positive change on our campus, in the city, across our state, throughout the nation, and around the world.”

The student leaders are planning and orchestrating this evangelistic event, seeking revival for their generation. There will be prayer, worship, repentance, and revival as God moves through the hearts of the next generation.

Grammy Award-winning artists Chance The Rapper, Kari Jobe, and Chandler Moore will be headlining the worship portion of the evening. Evangelist Nick Hall will share the Gospel and a message of hope for this generation. Thousands will join together for a common purpose, which is to reach people who do not yet know Jesus and find themselves looking for answers.

WHY THIS EVENT IS HAPPENING

The next generation struggles with anxiety, depression, and overall brokenness. Hours spent doom-scrolling on social media is just one indication. Everywhere they turn, Gen-Z students are inundated and overwhelmed with more media, more apps, and more distractions. FTS seeks to bring this generation together for one night of peace, joy, and community.

Ministry leaders across the OKC area have prayed for a move of God for many years, and God is answering that call for revival. Business and political leaders in the region have come alongside the OU students to support them in any way possible. Many of these men and women believe this event could spark revival beyond the OU campus to the entire OKC community, including in local churches, youth groups, and campus ministries, and among college students.

Recently, Pastor Clarence Hill of Antioch Church of Norman invited a group of 120 pastors, ministry leaders and their spouses to support the student-led and Gospel-driven movement of FTS. Pastor Hill said the time is now to unite and display the unity Jesus talked about in the Bible in John 17 – that we would be one and as one we might point people to FTS and the hope there is in Jesus Christ.

God is uniting local leadership, the greater OKC church, and ministry organizations to see people respond to Jesus through first-time commitments and rededications. Local leaders in OKC share the vision for how God will use FTS to bring revival beyond OU’s campus and to the nations.
