Additional updates since this was first posted are in red! Big thanks to Sarah Koutz for much of the new info.
If you didn’t see the news over the weekend, an Evangelical Christian college near Notre Dame reported experiencing a campus-wide revival last week! This news from Bethel College is obviously something exciting for the whole college ministry community, and I hope you’ll take a second to read my original report. We should be praying for the students, faculty, and administration of the Pilot tribe – as well as those who minister to them on campus and off!
Here are some updates I’ve gathered, and I’ll try to post more here this week if anything new comes up.
Reports
Local college minister Sarah Koutz has started sharing her impressions and her students’ experiences at her blog! Be sure to check it out.

Bill and Debbie Jones are the Missionaries In Residence at Bethel. Bill had met and prayed with our staff several times. I’m getting ready to do some blogging right now.

Thanks a bunch for all your help, Sarah. It’s so fun knowing somebody “on the front lines” when God decides to do something like this!
