After a whirlwind time of planning and prayer, the #LynchburgRevival is finally here! Folks are coming from 28 different states (and a few countries) to seek refreshment and renewal. Tune in above from 6pm-10pm EST to join the revival on Friday, April 6th & Saturday, April 7th.
This is a gathering for people of faith or no faith who are curious about Jesus and troubled by the state of evangelicalism in America. Whether you love Christianity or hate it, whether you are over-churched or un-churched, you are welcome at the #LynchburgRevival.
Come expectant! Bring a desire for revival, a desire to see the Living God do a new thing in our generation.
