“Students from one of the top party schools showed up last night to represent Christ and get freed,” wrote Christian music artist Forrest Frank, who shared footage of the baptisms. “Can’t wait to see what God does next!!”
The University of Mississippi is one of the top “party schools” in the country, according to the website Niche, which has more than a half million reviews submitted by college and university students in the U.S.
However, students showed up on campus last week to celebrate and proclaim the name of Jesus.
Best-selling author and founder of IF:Gathering, Jennie Allen, and pastor Jonathan Pokluda of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, shared a powerful message on God’s redemption, love and acceptance.
“Some of you have carried secrets and stories, addictions and sin. This is the story (Satan) wants to tell you…that you are a victim and there is no way out. And we are here to say, that is just not true,” Allen shared in her message.
“God wants you to stop cutting yourself, stop hating yourself, stop starving yourself. All that the enemy delights in, Jesus came to set you free from it,” Pokulda said to the crowd.
The night ended with hundreds of students making a public declaration for Jesus Christ and some took part in water baptisms in the back of a pickup truck.
