A revival event at the University of Georgia (UGA) April 3 led to baptisms in pickup truck beds in the parking lot after students made professions of faith.
Unite Georgia, a night of prayer, worship and teaching in UGA’s Stegeman Coliseum, drew about 7,000 college students to hear author and speaker Jennie Allen and pastor Jonathan Pokluda and worship with Circuit Rider Music.
An estimated 150 students were baptized in pickup truck beds in front of a fraternity house after the event, according to The Christian Post.
FOX News host Laura Ingraham interviewed Nate Kearns, a student who was baptized at the event.
Kearns said he had not planned on being baptized that night. He grew up in a culturally Christian home, but “there was no intimate relationship with Christ.” He committed his life to Jesus a month before the event.
Regarding the baptism, he said, “I just heard the call from the Lord, and He said, ‘Be obedient.’ And I listened to Him to take a step of faith and let my fraternity brothers watch that.”
Unite US began at Auburn University in September of last year. Founder Tonya Prewett mentored college students through their struggles with pain, anxiety and depression, and had a vision to unite them in worship to Jesus Christ.
