The student then texted some of his friends who were fellow believers, asking them to come and pray with him. Over 50 students came to the gym to support the student seeking salvation. What took place next was something miraculous. 13 Lumpkin County High School students gave their hearts and lives to Jesus Christ during what WSB-TV called a "sort of revival meeting on campus in the middle of the day." According to the report, three to four teachers were also present at the event, which lasted from 9:30 a.m. into the afternoon. At least one teacher abandoned his or her classroom to attend the event. In a videotaped interview, Lumpkin County School District Superintendent Dewey Moye said that one of the school's assistant principals put a stop to the meeting and ordered the participants back to class. Moye went on to say that he had met with school administrators to educate them about "equal access law" (regarding organized religious activities on campus during school hours).
