Revival 2026: Campus Awakenings, Tent Meetings and Outpourings
Something is happening in more than one place at once. UniteUS reports more than 100,000 students reached since 2023; tent revivals are crossing the United States; young men in Sweden are filling churches; a small South Carolina town that prayed for years is hosting a crusade.
