Recent mass baptism is latest sign that revival is coming to United Kingdom
Despite reports of increased secularization and a growing Muslim population, signs continue to point to a revival in the United Kingdom, including a mass baptism of more than 500 people recently in Bridlington, England, CBN News reported.
Merlin Kraft, who organized the mass baptism, recalled a similar event last month when he was flooded with requests to get baptized after he posted a video of a baptism on his social media channel. At that initial baptism, hundreds of people from across the UK traveled to Bigbury-on-Sea to take part. More than 170 people were baptized in the ocean then, and this time, 550 people made a public declaration of faith.
“Something powerful is happening across Britain,” he posted on social media. “People are coming to Jesus Christ, publicly declaring their faith, and lives are being changed. Honestly, I’m just lost for words. God turned up today, and so did the people of North England.”
Kraft was amazed by the number of people who participated.
“I’m still trying to get my head around what actually happened, and my arm is absolutely killing me,” he said. “But what happened on Bridlington beach was just unbelievable. I mean, the beautiful people that came.. you could just feel the joy everywhere. It was truly a special, special day. Something is happening here in Britain. People are coming to Jesus Christ, and we’re witnessing something truly extraordinary.”

Kraft described the scene as each person he baptized expressed sincere emotions ranging from tears to joy as the massive crowd cheered them on.
“There’s a real harvest out there,” he said, pointing to the event as a sign of spiritual awakening happening in the UK now. “Trust me, we’re going around the country with this. This isn’t stopping soon.”
In another social video, Kraft said he is witnessing other signs of revival.
“I’m talking to more and more people, and I’m getting messages from people all over Britain who are opening Bibles and asking questions and looking for hope in Jesus Christ,” he said. “And I think lots of churches are seeing it, too.”
