'They Want God': 8,000 Students Seek Jesus in Huge Kentucky Revival, 2,000 Give Lives to Christ

A supernatural Christian revival is stirring up once again on American college campuses through Unite US – an evangelistic movement marked by salvations, water baptisms, and worship. Last night at the University of Kentucky, more than 2,000 students responded to the gospel message of Jesus Christ and many took part in spontaneous baptisms.
"It's hard to believe. This keeps happening. It is insane," said Unite US speaker and founder of IF:Gathering Jennie Allen.

​Unite US was birthed out of a desire to "lift the name of Jesus."
It all began at Auburn University's Neville Arena in September 2023 where 5,000 students showed up to worship Jesus and 200 were spontaneously baptized in a nearby lake. And now, the organization hosts massive worship events making waves on college campuses across the country. 
Collectively, those events have brought in more than 70,000 college students.
Their first stop in 2025 was the University of Kentucky, just 30 minutes from Asbury University where the first sparks of a new spiritual awakening were seen among American students in February of 2023.
This time, more than 8,000 students packed Rupp Arena to worship Jesus and to hear a powerful message on the Gospel. 
"Every time they are confessing their sin, they are yelling it out. They are responding to the gospel in herds. Like droves of kids are coming forward to receive Jesus," said Allen. "We are baptizing kids for an hour and a half. [They are] giving their lives to Jesus."
"It is only God," she added. "There is a movement amongst students that you can't believe. And even when you see it, you can't believe it!"
CBN's Abigail Robertson was there, and she attests to the almost indescribable move of God that took place on the campus.
"I've never seen anything like what happened last night. Kids lining up to get baptized in 30-degree weather –  it's truly amazing what's happening," she shared. 
According to the event's organizers, it is an event that they have been praying about for months. 
"Our local student team organized weekly prayer gatherings and walked up to 42 miles one Saturday as they prayed over their campus," the founder and visionary behind Unite US, Tonya Prewett, told CBN News. 
"'Jericho Marches,' they called these Saturday prayer walks and we saw walls come down last night," she added. 
"We've been praying for this night for months, and God met us here again," reads a post on social media. "We know it's just the beginning of all He has in store."
