New Life Young Adults Pastor Tarik Whitmore told The Christian Post that he preached at the gathering, centering his message on Isaiah 6: the “conviction, cleansing, and commissioning that follows a genuine encounter with God.”
According to Whitmore, event organizers witnessed “many touched by the power of God,” which included “spontaneously weeping and trembling,” with some doing so “as they were coming up out of the waters of baptism.”
The night continued with students and young adults sharing testimonies of salvation, healing, deliverance, and being filled with the Spirit,
The night concluded with a commissioning of those who wanted God to use them on their college campus.
Last September, New Life held a similar gathering on the Corpus Christi campus, with a reported attendance of around 1,000 students and more than 100 being baptized.
Days before the Texas A&M gathering, a large group of students, including members of the university’s football team, came together for a revival event at Ohio State University, in which around 60 attendees were baptized.
One attendee of the OSU event said, “It was all Jesus-based, all focused on Him. Person after person came. You could just see the Spirit moving in people. It was different, nothing I’ve ever experienced before.”
