“You would think that going to an institute at Yale would largely be a cerebral experience, but the institute engaged my whole being with God.”

"During the week at Yale, I was personally revived and ever since have experienced renewed hope and faith, as well as freedom and joy in evangelism. I was amazed at the unity among such a diverse group of believers . . . and it was evident that the Lord intervened and allowed us to be in one accord. During our week together I developed relationships for a lifetime."

“The institute was a watershed time for me as God took me deeper in brokenness, repentance, and humility along with a re-engagement of my heart to see another spiritual awakening on my campus and across North America.”

"I came to the institute mostly unaware of my own need. However, during certain times throughout the week, we were invited into personal and communal repentance and renewal, and to intercede on behalf of those whom we represent. These produced palpable times of cleansing, healing, and spiritual revitalization as the Spirit applied the power of the cross and resurrection of Christ to our lives and ministries in fresh ways. I highly recommend the institute for anyone ministering on college campuses."

“My life will never be the same! To be afforded the opportunity to worship the LORD with so many campus leaders and we all had the same goal to spread the Gospel across the campuses of the world. It seemed as if we were all in one accord in one place seeking the mind of GOD . . . . I pray that once again this institute will be available to me.”

“I had come to the institute to learn about revival, but early on I realized that I needed God to work in my own life. In each session, I began to be touched by the HOLY SPIRIT and experienced real transformation, which has carried over into my ministry and even my family.”

"In light of my crazy and fast-paced schedule, I was able to use my time at the institute to slow down and personally reconnect with God, with others, and with myself. I learned a lot at the institute, but I really benefited most by practicing spiritual disciplines that my soul desperately needed."

"I returned from an invigorating and transforming week at The Institute of Campus Revival and Awakening at Yale University. At the institute we had the opportunity to experience what we want to experience on our campuses!”
"I’ve come away refreshed and empowered to step back into my ministry of preaching and mobilizing collegians to pray, after basically laying those gifts-passions down for the most of the past 10 years. Experiencing Yale’s rich spiritual history by living on campus, walking it’s halls, and eating in the dining commons inspired me. Spending time with old friends and forming life-long alliances with other ministers was encouraging. But, having my spiritual gifts rekindled and affirmed was “reviving” –and worth my trip cross the country!”

"The Lord called me to New Haven, Connecticut about 15 years ago to pray for revival. This happened without any knowledge of the history of revivals in America and specifically at Yale University. Being a part of The Institute for Campus Revival and Awakening has encouraged me that He has not given up on us; He is still seeking for people to stand in the gap. It is exciting to be able to pray expectantly awaiting our faith to become sight - for revival to come to America."

"The Institute of Campus Revival and Awakening provides a unique opportunity for campus ministers to come together and catch a vision for something bigger than themselves and their own individual ministries and outreach efforts. It stimulates and challenges you both spiritually and intellectually about what God is saying today to the whole Church about our universal need for a Christ-centered revival and awakening!"
