Members of campus ministries plan to join together today to participate in a revival on Herty Field.

“It’s not ministry related,” said Drew Raynor, a junior from Fitzgerald. “It’s just people gathering to see the movement of Christ.”

Raynor began talking about the event about two weeks ago, he said.

“The Lord’s leaning on a bunch of people,” he said. “He gave me the desire to see the campus ministries unite.”

Raynor said he started talking to about 10 other participants in campus ministries, and the idea spread.

“We have not done any kind of advertising for [the event],” he said. “We’re spreading it by word of mouth.”

A group of people interested in the revival planted a flag on Herty Field on Saturday at about 9:30 p.m.

Kim DeRamus, a junior from Watkinsville, said the flag was about three feet wide, and the group hung the flag on a pole about eight feet tall.

Raynor said the flag was removed by groundskeepers, but he was going to retrieve the flag today and replant it on Herty Field.

“It’s a white flag of surrender,” Raynor said.

He said it also marks a “rally spot” for people to meet. Members of the group wrote Bible verses, such as 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Daniel 9:19 on the flag.

The verse from the book of Daniel states: “O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”

DeRamus said the group chose Herty Field because members were “praying about [where to host the revival], and we felt Herty Field was the place for it.”

The group did not make an official reservation with the University, however. Raynor said they did not officially reserve the site because “there is no real way to have a projected head count.”

Raynor said the group chose Thursday night because many campus ministries meet on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

He said the revival will be spontaneous and unstructured. He said he expects some worshipers to bring instruments to play but said there is no agenda.

Raynor said he hopes the event will bring “unity to campus ministries.”

“It’s open to everybody who loves the Lord,” he said.
