More than 200 students at Auburn University were baptized in one night after a campus worship event.
The baptisms took place Tuesday night in a lake at Auburn’s Red Barn venue, located about half a mile from Auburn University’s Neville Arena, the site of a “Unite Auburn” worship event that drew hundreds of students.
Following the event, featuring performances by Christian bands and sermons by Christian speakers, one individual reportedly wanted to be baptized, but a tub was not available for use.
Students then started gathering at the lake to be baptized there.
“This was a great moment of Auburn being Auburn! Thousands gathered to unapologetically seek Jesus, and hundreds took their next step,” one student said.
“It was one of the most beautiful things I had ever gotten to witness, because there was such a genuine joy and sense of peace in the air. I would look back toward campus and constantly see mobs of flashlights from more students that were running to come to join the crowd,” another student claimed.
From Fox News:
The baptisms at the southern college campus came after a similar spiritual awakening took place at Asbury University in February. The private school located in Wilmore, Kentucky, canceled some classes and allowed for a 24/7 prayer as people from all corners flocked to the campus to worship for two weeks.
