Andy Wood, lead pastor at Saddleback Church in California, reported that over 1,500 people made “first-time decisions to follow Jesus,” while Jason Howerton, the CEO of Reach Digital, shared that service attendance exceeded expectations.
“At my church tonight, there was a 5K seat auditorium filled, at capacity. Then an overflow site w/1K more people at capacity. Then a 2nd overflow site at capacity. And then crowds of people outside watching on big screens. And it wasn’t even the Sunday service,” he shared, via CBN. “Revival vibes.”
Pastor David Chisolm of the ROCK Parkersburg shared there were more than 800 people at his church Sunday and 130 children at the kid’s church, writing on Facebook, “Lives were truly changed yesterday.”
Cultivation Church posted on Facebook about the large numbers they’ve been seeing at services over the last few days.
“Night after night, the altars have been filled with people responding to Jesus by Faith and Repentance. Miracles, signs, and wonders are breaking out,” the post read. “People are WAKING UP! The Presence of God has been so tangible — it couldn’t be contained to one weekend or even one location. It had to continue!”
The post continued, “For the past 11 nights, hundreds of people have gathered in hunger and pursuit of JESUS. And every night, the atmosphere has been charged with the Glory of God! We are now in the midst of a regional move of God—marked by salvations, deliverance, miracles, baptisms in the Holy Spirit, and an unquenchable hunger for more of Jesus. Families are being restored. Prodigals are coming home. Chains are breaking. Bodies are being healed. And the only name being lifted up is the name of JESUS.”
These high numbers of people at church services — from regular attendees to first-time churchgoers — indicate a strong spiritual movement taking place across the world.
