According to Niche, a website that ranks universities in a variety of areas, the University of Mississippi or Ole Miss is one of America’s top party schools. Niche bases its rankings on hundreds of thousands of surveys submitted by students.
But on Oct. 10, 2024, there was a party of different sort at the school when over 6,600 students showed up for a revival meeting at the Sandy and John Black Pavilion, CBN reports.
The main campus located in Oxford, Mississippi has a student population of 25,000. This means that potentially over 25% of the student population attended the event. This is a significant percentage.
The meeting resulted in hundreds of students publicly confessing their sins, and speaking of their struggles with addictions to alcohol, drugs and sex. Many were water baptized in the back of a half ton truck at the end of the service.
The service featured two speakers, Harris Creek Baptist Church pastor Jonathan Pokluda, and IF:Gathering founder Jennie Allen.
Allen’s message struck a chord as she spoke to the addictions and issues that many students are facing.
“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 told the audience.
“I’ve struggled with addiction for some time now, And the Lord has really removed those shackles from my life and now I am fully living for the Lord,” testified one student.
This event at Ole Miss was part of a series of revival meetings held in American universities in 2023 and 2024 organized by Unite US, which has resulted in Holy Spirit outpourings at several schools including the Florida State, University of Alabama and University of Tennessee.
Unite US, which is described as ‘a movement of college student united to lift the name of Jesus,’ was birthed out of the revival that broke out at Alabama’s Auburn University on September 12, 2023.
Videos surfaced of over 200 students spontaneously being water baptized in a lake on the university grounds. It started when one of the 6,000 people in attendance texted Jennie Allen, who was speaking at the event, asking about being water baptized. When Allen asked if any others were interested approximately 200 students responded.
Ground zero for the Holy Spirit moving on university campuses took place several months earlier at Kentucky’s Asbury University in February 2023. Tens of thousands people from across America and around the world showed up for the meetings that overwhelmed the school’s facilities.
