By Dr. Enoch Kwan – dated February 28, 2023   The “Asbury Revival 2023” flooded news channels since mid-February, stirring up much excitement and debates. Reports of how an ordinary chapel in a Christian university in Kentucky turned by the initiation of the students, blessed by the school, into an extended semi-organized time of worship, singing, confessions, and prayers.
