At a worship and evangelism event on Tuesday (Oct. 29), more than 10,000 students at Texas A&M University gathered for a night of praise and Christian revival. Unite US, organizer of the event, said hundreds of attendees made faith decisions for Jesus.
According to the ministry’s website, Unite US is “a movement of college students united to lift the name of Jesus.” Every campus gathering has three objectives: salvation, freedom, and community.
The first event, held at Auburn in September 2023, drew 5,000 students and led to 200 baptisms at a local lake. Since then, the movement has spread to other large schools throughout the southeastern United States.
Unite US: This Is Only the Beginning
In an Oct. 29 Facebook post, Unite US wrote about the Texas A&M event:
We are absolutely blown away by how God moved tonight in Reed Arena as over 10,000 college students gathered to lift the name of Jesus. We will never take for granted the way God has shown up– night after night, university after university. People say there’s no hope for Gen Z. But after tonight, we have more hope than ever that this generation will lead us in the greatest revival our nation has ever seen. This may be our last Unite of the semester, but we believe it’s only the beginning of all God has in store.
Evangelist Tonya Prewett, founder of Unite US, told CBN News, “We’ve seen over 70,000 students gather on 11 campuses representing 400 universities. We’ve seen around 5,000 saved and close to 2,000 baptized. It’s truly indescribable.”
Prewett “could have never imagined what was coming” after God “gave me the vision for Unite Auburn,” she said. “I remember standing at [the] baptisms after the Auburn event in the middle of thousands of students just praising God and thinking, how can this stop? And it hasn’t. He keeps doing it. Again and again.”
Texas Pastor Jonathan Pokluda, a speaker at Unite US events, said the ministry efforts continue beyond each rally. “All of these students get connected to local churches and pastors for discipleship,” he said. “It is beautiful!”
On Oct. 31, Pokluda posted video from the Texas A&M event, writing, “Please pray for what God is doing on college campuses. Please ask others to pray and share the news. Thank You Jesus!!!”

Unite US rallies are having real life impact, according to Bible teacher and speaker Jennie Allen. She shared video of Kaden, a student who became a Christian after hearing her share the gospel message at an event last year. Kaden told Allen he had been in a fraternity, was selling and doing drugs, and was fully “living in the world, doing what the world tells you to do.”
