Individuals are traveling thousands of miles to partake in Christian service at a college chapel in Kentucky, dubbed as "revival," which went viral on TikTok.

According to university personnel, the phenomenal event began as a regular chapel service at Wilmore, Kentucky's Asbury University, according to NBC News.

A group of students who had stayed until the conclusion of the meeting formed an impromptu assembly that continued nonstop for the last seven days. The gospel choir sang a last song after the benediction, and then something happened that transcends explanation. The students stayed put, hence the Kentucky prayer revival persisted, as per a report from Christian Today.

Videos tagged with "Asbury Revival" on TikTok and Instagram have amassed millions of views. As of this writing, the TikTok hashtag #asburyrevival has garnered over 24 million views.

Asbury University Vice President of Communications Mark Whitworth commented that "people found out" the Kentucky prayer revival event through social media.

Thousands Flock for Worship and Prayer

The Asbury University campus in Wilmore, Kentucky, has welcomed groups of students from at least 22 other colleges and universities, per Kentucky Today.

Numerous comments and encouragements have been shared on social media in light of the revival movement at Asbury and other universities.

Around 3,000 worshipers filled the college chapel Tuesday night, which is the largest crowd yet.

In Christianity, "spiritual revival" usually means a resurgence in church attendance by believers and nonbelievers. Many people who went to the Asbury event said they were compelled there by a spiritual force.
