(OneNewsNow.com) - - Plans are being finalized for an upcoming conference at Yale University that is meant to equip Christian leaders for revival across college campuses. Collegiate Impact, a ministry of Life Action Ministries, is planning the weeklong event in June, titled "The Institute of Campus Revival and Awakening."This summer's Institute will mark the second year the event has been held at Yale in New Haven, Connecticut. As Collegiate Impact founder and director Dave Warn notes, the distinguished Ivy League school was a flashpoint of religious revival early in American history.
"Yale is the epicenter of the campus aspect of America's second Great Awakening," Warn points out. "About 200 years ago," he explains, "God moved mightily a number of times at Yale University, and that we could be on location at the campus where God moved so powerfully years ago is just very meaningful to us."
The Institute is designed for full-time leaders of denominational and parachurch campus ministries. Warn says those on the front lines of campus ministry need training and encouragement, and his group believes the purpose of the Institute is "to help ignite this next great move of God as well as prepare people for what's coming."
The Collegiate Impact spokesman says his organization believes another revival is imminent on the college campuses of America. "And when God does move," he asserts, "we will be equipped to sustain this transformational move of God."
The Institute of Campus Revival and Awakening will be held June 20-27 on the Yale University campus. The event is limited to 100 participants.
