A summer revival at a Black Baptist church can be significant for a number of reasons, including:
Spiritual rebirth: Revivals can be a time of spiritual rebirth, rejuvenation, and resurrection. People with no faith may find it for the first time, while people with lethargic faith may be re-energized.
Evangelism: Revivals are evangelistic in emphasis and can focus on bringing the unsaved to salvation.
Renewed commitment: Revivals can lead to a serious recommitment to the Lordship of Christ.
Addressing church needs: Revivals can address special needs of the church, such as stewardship, family life, or the needs of inactive church members.
Motivating church members: Revivals can motivate uninvolved church members to be more involved in the church’s work.
Spiritual awakening: Revivals can bring a spiritual awakening to the culture at large.
Renewed faith: Revivals can lead to the renewal of faith among members of Christian congregations.
