Ohio State football players do more than just wear Jesus shirts while heading to football camps; they also hold gospel events on campus with the hope of changing people’s lives for eternity.
On Sunday (Aug. 25), current and former Ohio State football players held a Fall Kickoff event at the campus’s courtyard in College Green Park. They described the event as “An Invitation to Jesus.”
The event reportedly drew more than 2,000 students and people from the community and resulted in a time of worship, testimonies, salvations, and baptisms.

Earlier in the week, former Ohio State wide receiver and event organizer, Kamryn Babb, wrote on Instagram, “God has truly made a way! Join us This Sunday at 7PM! The invitation to Jesus is open to everyone—young or old, believer or not.”
Babb continued, “No matter where you are or what you’ve been through, come and experience the God who created you and desires to give you a love and peace beyond anything this world can give. See you there! Bring a friend!”
As the event started, Babb told the crowd:
I just encourage you to step out in faith. Whatever you’re going through in life, whatever you’ve been through, I’m telling you there’s a God that desires you. So as we get into this worship, as we get into everything, we pray that you would see him as he sees you. So as we get into this night, let’s give him the glory.
“Jesus changed my life, set me free from my sin, made me holy, made me righteous,” he said. “I’m only righteous because of what the Lord has done for me. It wasn’t anything I did, it was Jesus. It was Jesus. And he wants to do the same for you.”
