A number of Christian groups that have been holding revival services at the site where George Floyd died in Minneapolis say they’re seeing many people turn to God in baptisms and miracles are happening.
“So tonight God’s moving. There’s a lot of people that gave their lives to the Lord again. We were baptizing people right here at the memorial. It’s wonderful,” said Joshua Lindquist, a young Christian leader with Global Revival Harvest. “A friend of mine said, ‘revival is the new form of protest.’ Meaning, when injustice happens and the pain is there, the best way to heal hearts and to bring what’s right and to bring what’s truly real, is to petition Heaven. When revival breaks out it’s the kingdom of Heaven breaking in. I just believe that the church can step in and see a move of God that can bring healing to hearts that can bring justice down from Heaven. God’s using this tragic situation for his glory. God is shifting the narrative. Out of his (George Floyd’s) life, many will come to the Lord. Many will come to Jesus.”
Christophe Ulysse, 37, a YWAM leader, told the news network they were witnessing real change in the community. “We’re going from pain and hatred to healing and hope,” Ulysse said. “I came here and I was broken. It affects team members differently, but those of us of color, as we’re here, we’re watching the change happen through the Gospel. My heart is so filled with hope. Those in the neighborhood are saying this is unprecedented unity. They’re feeling an outpouring of love and hope from this nation,” he said.
