Cooperating with the Holy Spirit

"For years, we'll be discovering the thousands upon thousands of ways God moved through this outpouring. Having this journal of how it unfolded at ‘ground zero,’ told by voices who were there serving the cause, is such a gift to the Church. Their stories will help all of us connect and process our own experiences even as we continue to carry this fire out into the world."

—Carolyn Moore, Bishop, Global Methodist Church, and author of Supernatural: Experiencing the Power of God’s Kingdom

“As a student and employee, I've seen firsthand the work of the Holy Spirit at Asbury in Hughes Auditorium. This book is a great reminder of the humility of the Asbury team and community. Gen Z students are ‘Hungry’ for Jesus. I was so encouraged to see how the community of Wilmore embraced this movement of the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Asburians, for your example to all of us.”

—David A. Hoag, President, Council for Christian Colleges & Universities

“What a beautiful book! Its words leap off the page, telling stories of the 2023 Outpouring at Asbury from the people who were there, helping to steward those divinely appointed weeks in Wilmore. The reader can’t help but be riveted, inspired, and wrapped up in a divine hug. Reading it makes one thankful and hungry for God’s presence in equal measure.”

-Tammie Grimm, Associate Professor of Congregational Formation, Wesley Seminary

“Suzanne Nicholson has assembled an outstanding array of writers who provide both first-hand experience of the revival and scholarly interpretation of its significance. As the history of revival in the United States is written, this will be an invaluable resource for historical and theological reflection. We can learn a great deal from these essays on the Asbury Outpouring, including how to respond when the next such move of God takes place.”

—David F. Watson, Academic Dean, United Theological Seminary

“The Holy Spirit often uses testimony as a generative force that in some measure, re-creates the world being described. This book of remembrance on the Asbury Outpouring is such a testimony. It beckons us to enter a sacred space where temporal time gives way to the joys of eternity. It invites us to taste and see the wonders and depths of holy love that flowed from the Divine life into the lives of the thousands of people who made the pilgrimage to Hughes chapel during February 2023.”

—Cheryl Bridges Johnson, Distinguished Visiting Professor & Director of Pentecostal House of Study, United Theological Seminary

“Thank you for the backstage pass to witness the Holy Spirit's outpouring on the campus of Asbury University in February 2023. Learning how God used you during this time is a powerful demonstration that the Spirit works through his people as they humbly bow and follow his leading. Thank you for reminding us of the incredible joy and responsibility to be the hands and feet of Christ, especially to serve and prepare the next generation—I am convinced God has specially called them for such a time as this!"

—Ross Allen, President, Bethel University
