More than 8,000 college students have gathered to seek God and worship Jesus at the University of Tennessee for a UniteUS campus event, featuring Christian artists Elevation Worship.
UniteUS is an evangelistic outreach geared toward GenZers that has been presenting the Gospel on multiple university and college campuses over the past two years.
The latest stop was Knoxville, Tennessee where approximately 500 students responded to the salvation message, and many were baptised right outside the arena.
“We are blown away by what God did tonight at the University of Tennessee in lifting up the name of Jesus and over 500 salvations,” UniteUS proclaimed.
“THOUSANDS CHANGED FOR THE NAME OF JESUS”
Many students had already been praising Jesus openly on campus and testifying about how the Holy Spirit is moving among their friends.
“We witnessed hundreds get baptised tonight,” one student shared on social media.
“We witnessed thousands changed for the name of Jesus.”
“There is a new thing coming to this generation and UniteUS is a big part of it.”
CAMPUS GOSPEL MOVEMENT JUST KEEPS GAINING MOMENTUM
CBN News reports UniteUS began in September 2023 at Auburn University in Alabama where 5,000 students showed up to proclaim the name of Jesus and 200 were spontaneously baptised in a nearby lake.
“When God gave me the vision for Unite Auburn, I could have never imagined what was coming,” UniteUS founder and evangelist Tonya Prewett told CBN News.
“I remember standing at the baptisms after the Auburn event in the middle of thousands of students just praising God and thinking how can this stop?”
“And it hasn’t. He keeps doing it. Again and again,” she shared.
The movement has since spread like wildfire.
“ENCOUNTERING A MODERN-DAY MIRACLE”
Jennie Allen from the IF:Gathering ministry for women often preaches to the students at the UniteUS events.
She posted she was in awe of how God is moving across college campuses.
“Yay!!! God keeps doing it,” she commented on one video.
Ms. Allen recently told CBN News Digital that what she and other UniteUS leaders are encountering is a modern-day “miracle.”
“IT’S UNLIKE ANYTHING I’VE EVER SEEN”
“So many kids come forward, confess sins, follow Jesus, and we’re baptising usually into the morning,” she said.
“It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It’s unlike anything I’ve even been bold enough to pray for — until recently.”
“You can just see all over the stadium, huddles of kids, wiping tears, nodding, praying, holding each other.”
“I mean, it’s so precious and brave,” she added.
“THE MESSAGE IS PURE UNADULTERATED GOSPEL”
CBN News writes; “What is moving these students to give it all to Jesus is simple: the pure, unadulterated Gospel.”
“Repent for your sins,” Tonya Prewett told the Tennessee students. “
“Repent for the sins of this campus, for the city, and our nation.”
“And let’s get free from those sins and we are just going to give it all to Jesus and go all in.”
“GEN-Z HUNGRY FOR SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHAT THE WORLD IS SELLING”
“This younger generation, they’re hungry for truth, they’re hungry for freedom, they’re hungry for something better than what this world is selling them — because they keep coming up empty,” said Madison Troutt, who is Tonya Prewett’s daughter.
“They keep coming up short.”
“They’re like: Yeah, I tried that — I tried the drugs, I tried these things”
“I’ve believed a lot of lies about my identity.”
“I’M GOING TO BE AN IMPERFECT PERSON CHASING JESUS EVERY DAY”
CBN News noted students often testify in makeshift baptismal pools before being submerged in water – a biblical declaration that their old, sinful life is buried along with Christ.
“I never felt good enough to get in this tub and live a life after just sinning,” one student shared before her baptism.
“I know I’ll never be perfect. I’ll always be imperfect, but I’m going to be an imperfect person chasing my Jesus, each and every day.”
“WHAT AN AMAZING NIGHT, GOD IS SO GOOD”
Many others commented online, sharing that the worship event was incredible.
“What an amazing night. GOD IS SO GOOD,” posted a young woman named Sofia.
“All glory to the only one worthy. All hail King JESUS,” wrote another.
“Jesus is moving in Gen-Z and this is just the beginning,” UniteUS proclaimed.
MORE CAMPUS EVENTS PLANNED
The ministry has a few more events scheduled during the northern autumn on college campuses in Arizona, Ohio, and North Carolina.
CBN News has produced a documentary on how the Lord is working in the lives of American college and university students called “Revival Generation.”
