Full Transcript
And he said 19 students came down to the altar to pray, and then they just decided to stay. And then they started to stay a little longer, and somebody got up with a guitar and just started singing. No big to-do, just a guy with a guitar.
Matter of fact, he told me that guy who got up with a guitar led worship for 16 hours straight. And it's what we know is Fox News tried to cover it. Tucker Carlson tried to go, and they wouldn't let him come to the Asbury awakening, to the outpouring of God's spirit at Asbury.
And it was 13, 14, 15, 16 days straight. Nothing but prayer and praise and worship and teaching of the word.
