A new sign of the ongoing revival among America’s young people is being reported out of Alabama. In the latest example, hundreds of students at the University of Alabama gave their lives to Christ and were immediately baptized in a fountain.
Christian author and speaker Jennie Allen announced on Instagram – “It happened again!” after the event unfolded last week.
She added, “Last night at the University of Alabama thousands of students gathered. Hundreds responded to the gospel and hundreds were baptized.”
In a video, as a young woman named Macy prepares to be submerged in the fountain, she declares, “I’m just ready to be a child of God” as the crowd cheers to celebrate her new decision to follow Christ.
The spiritual awakening that first captured headlines at Asbury College more than a year ago is still spreading nationwide including Florida State University and Auburn.
In a post several weeks ago after a similar outpouring of revival at Florida State University, Allen said on Instagram, “Hundreds of students came forward to trust Jesus. We can’t explain what’s happening apart from the Spirit.”
One student at FSU pointed out that these new believers in Christ are being connected with local churches so they can continue their journey with Jesus.
They had tables outside with college groups from many local churches and asked everyone to fill out information cards to get connected.
