Despite the negative reports of the rampant violence and antisemitism occurring in American universities, we have another report on how the Holy Spirit is moving on university campuses.
This involves a recent outpouring at the University of Tennessee on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, CBN reports.
Over 8,000 students gathered at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, TN, which saw hundreds of students respond, and 150 get water baptized.
This was the last event of the year for the semester, and it was obvious many students were impacted.
“We have been waiting for a move like this all school year,” a student told FOX & Friends. “At the finale of the event we were singing ‘Speak the Name of Jesus’ and students just rushed to the front. I brought my buddy and it brought us to our knees. There are just no words for the experience.”
“Just seeing the presence of the Lord fill the room and how people from all different backgrounds came together for one reason and to worship Jesus is just so awesome,” another female student shared.
The service was organized by Unite US, which started holding rallies at universities across the US in 2023.
Pastor Jonathan Pokluda from Waco, TX, and Jennie Allen from the IF: Gathering were the main speakers. Passion Music led the worship.
Founded in 1794, the University of Tennessee is one of America’s oldest universities and has a student population of over 36,000.
Though a public university, the school’s motto reads, ‘Veritatem cognoscetis, et veritas vos liberabit‘, which in English reads, ‘You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.‘
