On Wednesday, 8,000 students gathered on the campus of the University of Tennessee to praise His Name alone. 

Unite US is a faith event geared toward GenZers and aims to present the Gospel message to students at different college campuses. Their latest stop was the Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center in Knoxville, Tennessee.

As CBN News reported, the first Unite US event kicked off at Auburn University last fall and an impromptu baptism that started with one student wanting to be baptized grew to roughly 200 people who decided to take that plunge and give their lives to Christ. 

The founder and visionary behind Unite US, Tonya Prewett told CBN News it’s “all a move of God.”

“We’ve seen thousands of students give their hearts to Christ,” continued Prewett. “We’ve seen over 800 baptized and you know, we’re just being obedient, we’re just walking in obedience and God’s gone before us and He’s moving in incredible ways.”

Jennie Allen from the “IF: Gathering” spoke at “Unite Tennessee” and witnessed some of the most powerful moments last night including 150 students baptized in Jesus’ Name.

“Last night once again thousands gathered and hundreds responded to Christ and were baptized,” she shared on Instagram. “It’s just too good!”

“God is moving,” she added. 

“Unite Tennessee” featured Allen alongside Pastor Jonathan Pokluda of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, and included worship led by Passion Music. 

Several students who attended the event, which was the last one of the school semester, say it is exciting to see God move on their campus. 

“We have been waiting for a move like this all school year,” one student recently 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.”
