As CBN News has been reporting, widespread revival is sweeping U.S. college campuses, with thousands of students attending events, engaging in worship and getting baptized. That has included campuses across Texas, but now several more universities in the Lone Star State are also seeing powerful moves of God.
Evangelist Jay Lowder, founder of Jay Lowder Harvest Ministries, recently headlined a campus-wide event at Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas, where hundreds of students made decisions for Christ.
“I’ve been in full-time evangelism for over 20 years,” Lowder told CBN News. “College students sometimes can be a difficult group to reach because they’re transitionary and a lot of times not living in their normal hometown, but we literally had, I’m not evangelist-exaggerating, we had a packed house every night, standing room only, and we saw over 500 students make different commitments to Christ.”

Additionally, Abilene Christian University just hosted an event attended by 1,000, where more than 80 decisions were made.
Lowder said there are several reasons for such an incredible response to the gospel among college students.
“They’re just looking for what’s real and a real openness,” said Lowder. “I actually asked people who weren’t getting saved if they would leave the building because there was no room to take the sheer numbers of students that wanted to give their lives to Christ. And I think there’s other factors as well. Mental health right now is a big issue among college students.”
