Evan, thanks for the message you sent yesterday, with its attachment. I I share with you your concern about Kjell Olsen's comments, and I certainly agree with you that Modesto, Toronto, and Wheaton are only pieces of a much larger work of God.
To my own way of thinking, what God has been doing recently on the college campuses is a further indication that what he has been doing in places like Toronto is His work. Both during the mid-twentieth century revival, and during the Charismatic renewal, there were campus revivals of this kind preceded by other manifestations of revival which many people rejected. I see God doing something very similar once again in the context of the current revival. In other words, it's the same pattern all over again, and it's no coincidence that the campus revivals are happening at THIS particular time. The campus revivals seem to be part and parcel of the larger outpouring of revival that we have been experiencing.
Thanks for writing. Kathryn and I remember you and Cheri with great fondness.
Sincerely,
Richard
