Political luminaries, friends, family, coworkers, and millions of Americans tuned in on TV to a packed Kennedy Center to remember Charlie Kirk. As Fox New reports, hundreds of people attended the vigil, wearing apparel with “freedom” written on it. Republican leaders, such as House Speaker Mike Johnson, spoke at the event.
Sean Feucht led worship, even posting on Facebook, “Never would have imagined the Kennedy Center sharing worship to Jesus!”
Vigils and prayer services and memorials have sprung up around the world. Tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of British young people marched in London's streets. Brandon Lake led thousands in worship at The Big Church Festival in Steyning, UK.
“Guy, you do realize that this is not normal, right? That if I could imagine what revival looks like, I would think it would look tents overflowing fields. Praise the Lord,” states a TikTok on Brandon Lake’s page.
Southern Seminary President Emeritus Richard Land says the revival around Charlie Kirk's death is unlike anything he's seen before.
“It's expressing itself in ways that we're not used to seeing spiritual awakenings being expressed,” says Land.
America has been seeing signs of revival for several years. Remember the revival at Asbury College in 2023? Or the baptisms at Pirate's Cove in California this last August? Greg Laurie posted on Instagram interviews with the people in line to be baptized at Pirate’s Cove.
Laurie: Where are you from?
Bystander: Colorado. I'm here for my sister. She's getting baptized.
Laurie (to the sister): How old are you?
Sister: I'm 14.
Laurie: Why are you being baptized today?
Sister: Because I want to proclaim to the world that Jesus is alive and that I love Him and that I'm His child.
