If you haven't heard, a revival has been happening on The Ohio State University campus for the past few months.

It all started 6 months ago when a group of local churches organized a worship night on campus. When four members of the football team showed up, carrying ice-tub baths from the field house, they took over the stage and started preaching.

The crowd grew to 800, and people responded to the good news, so they flipped the tubs upside down and started baptizing people right then and there, including most of their teammates.

Over the past few months, the football team has been taking the campus for Christ. Last week, they partnered with Unite US to host a gathering at the Schott Sports Arena.

The crowd numbered over 6,500.

Reports say that 2,000 people (!!) responded to the Gospel and were baptized. It was such a huge response in the freezing cold that they brought in U-Hauls with tubs to baptize the students.

Unite US Founder Tonya Prewett said,

We've been in awe of how God has already been moving on this campus over the past year, and He met us here again tonight. Over 6,500 students gathered in The Schott to lift the name of Jesus, and almost 2,000 responded to the altar call — experiencing the freedom only He can bring.

God is moving in this generation, and we know that He's just getting started!

Pray for those who were baptized, and for more stories like this across our university campuses. 😤
