Baylor University Holds 72-Hours of Continuous Prayer and Worship For Students… Over 20 Baptized [VIDEO]

Last week, Texas’ Baylor University held 72 hours of continuous prayer and worship for its students, leading to the baptism of 20 people.

This event, FM72, was held with the purpose of revival and renewal throughout the Baylor campus, the city of Waco where the university is located, and the world.

Charles Ramsey, the director of Baptist Student Ministries at Baylor, explained the purpose of FM72 to a student writer for Baylor’s website.

“The goal of FM72 is to stir a passion for Jesus Christ in the Baylor community,” Ramsey said. “It is a time to take inventory of one’s own journey, to linger in prayer, to recalibrate towards what is most important: our shared faith in Jesus Christ.”

“Simply put, the goal is that every person experiences a clear, caring, and compelling invitation to know Jesus, and to find a discipleship community where they can grow and flourish,” added Ramsey.

In 1945, Baylor held a similar event during which students prayed for renewal for 90 days.

Speaking about this event, Ramsey said, “The 1945 generation experienced revival, a spiritual awakening that brought a searing clarity about what is truly important. They understood that faith was not simply a good thing, but rather it was the vital element of a good life. Their motto, ‘I’d rather have Jesus,’ was a statement of defiance to the political, social, and economic forces whose allure was drawing them away from a life centered on Christ.”

This 1945 revival impacted the world, sparking ministries like the Journeyman mission program and the Passion Conference.

“There is a wonder, and sense of joy in discovering prayer, and for many this opens the way to an ongoing and deepening devotional, a more personal faith and a love for the church,” Ramsey said…
