Students at Texas A&M Corpus Christi are rejoicing at the joy and salvation being found on campus.
A student event hosted by New Life Church and the New Life Young Adults ministry saw “nearly 1,500 students” attend and 62 baptisms take place, according to New Life pastors Mike and Bonnie Fehlauer’s Facebook post.
Sharing details about the event and how God was moving among the college students to The Christian Post, New Life Young Adults Pastor Tarik Whitmore detailed how his message to those gathered was focused on Isaiah 6, which details the “conviction, cleansing, and commissioning that follows a genuine encounter with God.”

“This was followed by testimonies from students and former students—sharing how God saved them, set them free, healed them physically, and is now using them to change the lives of others,” Whitmore shared to TCP.
“As the altar was opened, there was an invitation given to profess faith in Jesus through water baptism, receive prayer for healing and receive prayer for the baptism of the Holy Spirit,” he continued.
Whitmore described the convicting power of the Holy Spirit sweeping through the attendees, leading many to be baptized.
“The night continued with students and young adults sharing testimonies in real-time of salvation, healing, deliverance and being filled with the Spirit,” Whitmore says.
This magnificent surrendering to God by America’s young people is a continuation of the movement that has been taking place in greater numbers on university campuses ever since the Asbury Awakening.
Just a week before the event held at Texas A&M took place, members of The Ohio State football team held a similar event the group had been praying over for a long time.
As previously reported by Charisma News on the event at Ohio State, “The number of those in attendance varies, with some reports claiming 800-1,000 people, and others saying some 2,000 attended the spiritual awakening. No matter how many truly showed up, with eyewitness accounts, images and videos showing a substantial crowd, lives were transformed as prayer, testimonies, worship and baptisms invited the presence of God into their midst.
“We were praying for years and years for an event like this, and we were praying with expectation—we serve a miracle-working God,” Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka says. “So we definitely had an expectation when it came out, but God did increasingly and abundantly more than what we thought. So, we’re just so blessed and thankful.”
