An evangelical event that was put on at the Texas A&M arena had a massive attendance of almost 10,000 students who came together to give honor, worship, and glory to the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. During the event, hundreds of young people gave their lives to Christ for the first time, showing that contrary to popular opinion, the Church is absolutely thriving and expanding. People are waking up, recognizing the true depth of the brokenness in the world and in themselves. All are infected with original sin and a depraved draw to fulfill our own desires. It’s a terminal illness and the only cure is Christ.
A group called United Us published a post about the event on Facebook, saying, “We are absolutely blown away by how God moved tonight in Reed Arena as over 10,000 college students gathered to lift the name of Jesus. We will never take for granted the way God has shown up– night after night, university after university,” according to a report from The Christian Tribune.
The group dismissed the notion that there is no hope for the younger generation in Western Civilization, adding, “People say there’s no hope for Gen Z. But after tonight, we have more hope than ever that this generation will lead us in the greatest revival our nation has ever seen. This may be our last Unite of the semester, but we believe it’s only the beginning of all God has in store.” One student who attended the rally shared how following Christ has completely changed his life. The student named Kaden, shared with the founder of IF:Gathering, Jennie Allen, how her preaching had led him to abandon the pursuit of hedonistic vices, which are cultivated on America’s college campuses.
“I was in the biggest fraternity on campus and fully in the world,” he stated. “I loved it. I was high up in it. I was about to be our pledge marshal and I was going to run for president. I was selling drugs. I was doing a lot of drugs. I was living in the world doing what the world tells you to do.”
Kaden then added, “You preached your message and it was on what it means to truly be a Christian. It was the same message you preached tonight. I remember like wow. Sins held me down for so long. I feel miserable. I have everything the world has to offer. Yet, I still feel awful. I still feel depressed and I’m anxious and I’m sad.”
“I said to my friend, ‘I’m done. I’m going all in. Like it’s me and Jesus,’” he recalled. “The next day, I dropped out of my fraternity. I dropped out of Tennessee and I’ve been pursuing Jesus since. Now I’m a ministry major at Southeastern University. And I want to go into missions and college ministry.”

How beautiful is that? Christ saving souls and directing lives to fulfill His will. There’s not a single person who is beyond His reach or His grace. No matter what you’ve done. Repent, put your faith in Christ, and be baptized for the remission of your sins. The Triune God will fill you with the Holy Spirit, giving you a new life, a new nature, and a new start.
The Christian Tribune reported on a similar evangelistic event hosted at Texas A&M Corpus Christi, which drew many students, of which dozens gave their lives to Christ. “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.”
“New Life Young Adults Pastor Tarik Whitmore spoke about the revival, noting that after reading from the Bible, ‘This was followed by testimonies from students and former students — sharing how God saved them, set them free, healed them physically, and is now using them to change the lives of others,'” the report concluded.
