Tarik Whitmore, the young adult pastor at New Life Church in Corpus Christi, Texas, told CBN News he is seeing a movement among college students who are getting saved and then boldly proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ with the student body.
The result is a campus being transformed for Jesus – and it is happening quickly.
It started in the spring of 22, in small groups. People were being saved and then going to the church for baptism.
Whitmore says for that entire spring semester he was opening the church late at night to baptize students.
The Texas A&M Corpus Christi alum says for more than a year, students have been coming, almost weekly, to get baptized.
Whitmore says many of these young adults are having their lives “radically changed” and are simply sharing with their friends what God has done.
He believes the heart change is genuine saying, “The culture of holiness has really been remarkable among these young people. They are living in purity and righteousness even at this secular university.”
And it’s igniting a powerful spiritual movement on the campus.
In August, Life Church held its annual outreach at the school and roughly 1,000 students showed up to pray, worship, and learn more about Jesus.
Approximately 124 of those students answered the call to salvation and decided to be water-baptized.
