Tens of thousands of American university and college students are continuing to attend campus revival meetings across the country nearly 20 months after the 16-days of non-stop worship, prayer, repentance and testimonies at Asbury University in Kentucky set the fires blazing for a national revival movement among tertiary students.
In the fourth major collegiate revival in less than a month, thousands of students recently gathered at a University of Arkansas event to seek Jesus Christ and find salvation in His name. It was organised by the Unite US movement which reports that around 10,000 students from 67 different universities gathered at a stadium in the city of Fayetteville.
“Jesus met us there. We were blown away by His presence in the room and how it carried over to baptisms. It was a night we’ll never forget,” the ministry posted on social media.
CBN News reports how one young man shared his powerful testimony right before being baptised at the event, saying: “I spent a lot of years running from God. I just came to Jesus about five weeks ago, but I got caught up in, I’ll just say it, cocaine and alcohol. I had a lot of really near-death experiences and I think Jesus had his hand on my life because I should not be here.”
“This was one of the most incredible nights of my life. I want to give praise and thanks to God who moved in ways we’ve never seen. Watching 10,000 students worship together on their college campus was something to behold,” declared evangelist Tonya Prewett.
Earlier this month, Unite US movement also showed up at a University of South Carolina event where hundreds of the the 4,000 students who attended were baptised in a landmark library fountain in the city of Columbia. “I cannot get over last night’s Unite event at the University of South Carolina. Students ran to the altar before an altar call was given. Hundreds made a decision to follow Jesus and hundreds were baptised. God is moving on college campuses,” Ms. Prewett posted.
She added that more than 2,000 salvations and 800 baptisms have taken place through the Unite US campus events since they began at Alabama’s Auburn University one year ago.
“I believe this is the generation that will usher in the greatest move of God we’ve ever seen, and we’re seeing that. I do believe what we had in the fall and the spring of this past year is just the beginning. Greater things are coming, and I feel for the end of this year and leading into 2025, something greater is coming. God is doing something across this nation. I do believe this move of God on college campuses is ushering in a greater awakening,” the evangelist asserted in a recent podcast.
More Unite US campus revival meetings are scheduled for Mississippi, Florida and Texas in the coming month.
Every gathering has three main objectives:
SALVATION
For non-believers to hear a clear presentation of the Gospel in a welcoming environment. Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9
FREEDOM
For believers to know and experience true freedom from sin and burdens on their hearts. Galatians 5:1
COMMUNITY
For students to find community and discipleship through connection to local ministries and the local church. Ephesians 4:1-6
CBN News reports the campus revival is not just happening at Unite US events. There was a powerful movement of God at a church-organised outreach at the Corpus Christi campus of Texas A&M University.
Pastors Michael and Bonnie Fehlauer of New Life Church posted: “Nearly 1500 students last night at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. 62 water baptisms. Powerful testimonies. Many physically healed and delivered! Jesus is Lord. And He is coming back.”
Revival broke out at Ohio State University during the last week in August with hundreds of colleges students showing deep hunger for God ahead of the new academic year.
The Lantern student newspaper reported the event was led by members of the school’s football team who preached the gospel before 800-1,000 people. By the end of the night, an estimated 60 students chose to get baptised in four tubs of water near the stage.
