Here it is:

It all started when Tennessee evangelist Matt Hartley visited a local church for what was supposed to be a three-day revival service but it just kept going. "This is not man-made, charismatic, hyper spiritual," Hartley told CBN News. "This is the presence of God that is overwhelming us, that is being released upon hungry people that are tired of just stagnant Christianity and "safe" church." "They want Jesus more than anything else. That's why they're here," he said. Hartley also spoke at the local high school where revival seemed to break out among the students.

I don't see this saying it is confined to students. I also know that the guy would not be permitted to give an evangelistic service at a school in the middle of the day.

They are using school gymnasiums because they are generally large, and are available for public use after hours. The "husband" item was also pointed out by you.

>>I don’t see this saying it is confined to students.

You are using implicit meanings because they didn’t say, “No one over the age of 30 was admitted.” The focus of these kinds of “revivals” is always youth because they are easy to win over, generate huge numbers, and then they drift away.

In WV, people become husbands pretty young. I was one at 20. My wife was 19.
