ONE YEAR AGO, the nation experienced a great outpouring of the presence of Jesus at Asbury University! The leaders of the Collegiate Day of Prayer had been planning and praying for one year prior to February 2023 to hold a gathering of college students at Asbury to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the beginning of CDOP. To our great surprise and yet filled with great expectation, God showed up in profound ways prior to the last Thursday of February. Tens of thousands of people showed up in the small town of Wilmore, Kentucky and hundreds of students were forgiven, healed, and saved. Perhaps millions of prayers from parents and pastors and young people were answered! All this prior to the broadcast on the night of February 28. This simulcast has been viewed by millions!
So here we are in February 2024! Now we are filled with greater faith and believing God for another opportunity to share the need to pray for our future leaders, almost all of whom are studying now in the universities of America. February 29 will be a most unique day at Baylor University since dozens of churches and all college ministries and leaders from Baylor will combine their efforts and prayers for a successful CDOP broadcast. We have never seen such great support from the pastors and churches in an area. They have been leading Last Thursday prayer times at 6:30 AM with hundreds of students. Times of 24/7 prayer and fasting are ongoing now.
The program and production are planned and our team have booked their flights and lodging. We are still in need of finances for the CDOP budget. The total amount needed is $168,000 and we have received about 60%. So we still need the remaining $80,000 and we need it soon.
