Our church was packed today. Hundreds came to Christ through baptism after the service. The Charlie Effect. Praise God!
Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom has become a catalyst for revival, with countless thousands of people returning to church or attending for the first time the weekend after his assassination. Here are some of their incredible testimonies.
Charlie Kirk’s death has sparked a revival.
During the past several days, people have flooded the internet with post after post about returning to church — or attending for the first time.
Younger generations searching for truth in a world where they have been told there is none are restless and looking for answers. In the void created by the recession of Christianity, Charlie Kirk was convinced that the answer is to debate, dialogue and reason people back into a moral and conservative Christianity.
It’s expected that the US-based figure will have the largest impact within America. But Aussies also turned up to church for the first time as a result of the Kirk effect.
One Australian pastor wrote, “I had a bunch of people at church this morning who had never stepped foot in a church before. We already had a lot of that happening before this past month, but it seems to have grown since these successive cultural moments, and ultimately since Charlie was killed.”
One Aussie expressed, “I have this really strong urge to pick up a Bible… It’s a really strange feeling.”
It was inevitable that God would use Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom for His glory in amazing ways.
Erika Kirk pledged to continue and expand the work of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), the conservative organization Kirk founded. “It will become stronger, bolder, louder, and greater than ever.” Less than 24 hours after Erika’s address, TPUSA received 18,000 new chapter requests. Previously, the organization had operated just over 10,000 chapters across universities, colleges, and high schools. By Sunday night, the number of new TPUSA chapter requests had risen to 32,000.
