Tent Revival Ends In Burlington, Big Plans For Future

After a strong three month run, the Burlington tent revival is over - at least for now.
 

BURLINGTON, N.C. -- You've likely seen it off of University Drive in Burlington - the tent that's drawn in thousands of people to pray.

"It's very exciting to see consistently every night, this tent has been filled," says Pastor Randy Hobbs.

After a strong three month run, the Burlington tent revival is over - at least for now.

"There's no better place than here," explains Martin Overton of Yanceyville. "You can go to Disney World all these other places ain't nothing like this."

Religious leaders held the final service tonight, saying they need to return the rental tent.

But now, there's a push to bring it back.

"It's amazing, it's a once in a lifetime chance to see this and I'm glad it's going on to other people so the world will get to see God."

Organizers are raising funds for a new tent - for Evangelist CT Townsend to use. He's starting a tent ministry - based on the success here in Burlington.

"This thing isn't over with. It's just getting started."

Like many worshippers - Overton has come nearly every day for the past three months.

"I can't hardly wait to get down here every day."

For him it's not an ending - but a beginning.

"Hopefully this things going to spread."

And even though the tent is coming down - spirits are up higher than ever.

"The thing about a real revival is that it will last," says Pastor Jeff Dodson.
