A supernatural Christian revival has arrived at another American college campus. Unite US – a college campus evangelistic movement marked by salvations, water baptisms, and worship – reports its latest outreach at the University of Florida saw a record 1,000 young people making decisions for Christ.
“He did it again,” Unite US organizer and evangelist Tonya Prewett tells CBN News. “We witnessed God move in a new way.”
As CBN News has reported, Unite US is a series of massive worship events making waves on college campuses across the country. Its sole focus is to “lift the name of Jesus.”
The organization traces its origins to an event that kicked off at Auburn University’s Neville Arena in September 2023. Five thousand students showed up to worship Jesus and 200 were spontaneously baptized in a nearby lake.
Since then, more than 50,000 students representing more than 300 universities have attended the outreaches, the Alachua Chronicle reports.
This fall, the movement has traveled to a handful of college campuses including the University of Arkansas, Mississippi State University, the University of Mississippi, and the University of South Carolina.
Then, earlier this week, more than 6,000 students filled the Stephen C. O’Connell Center at the University of Florida and what took place was beyond the organizer’s expectations.
“The level of surrender was unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed,” Prewett tells CBN News. “1,000 students came forward to give their lives to Jesus and hundreds chose to get baptized.”
“He keeps showing up,” she added.
Bestselling author and founder of IF:Gathering, Jennie Allen, and pastor Jonathan Pokluda of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, have been mainstay speakers for the ministry’s events.
“Salvation has come to this campus,” Pokluda remarked.
“We saw the Holy Spirit move,” he said adding that students “rushed the stage” when asked to come forward to place their faith in Jesus. “It was just unbelievable,” Pokluda said.
