CBN Kevin Casey
Students at Mississippi State University say their lives are forever changed after experiencing “God’s love at work” during a massive worship event Monday.
Unite US reports that nearly 6,000 students worshipped together at Humphrey Coliseum on Oct.1.
The night was marked by powerful prayer, repentance, water baptisms, and an atmosphere “like Heaven.”
“Jesus met us tonight in Humphrey Coliseum,” the group wrote on Instagram. “Nearly 6,000 students worshipped together, confessed to sin that had been holding them back, and experienced freedom that can only be found in Him.”

An international evangelist says “revival in Germany” is breaking out as hundreds of people are getting “saved, delivered, healed, [and] baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
Thousands of young people packed the Porsche Arena in Stuttgart, Germany for the Fire Festival over the weekend to praise, worship, and hear the Word of God.
“After a short preaching of the ABC of The Gospel by my dear friend David Rotärmel hundreds upon hundreds of young people came at the altar to give their lives to Jesus,” shared international evangelist Jean-Luc Trachsel. “Truly it’s harvest time in Europe like here in Stuttgart, Germany.”
The Fire Festival kicked off on Oct 2 and ended on October 5 with a “Jesus March” through Stuttgart.
Europe Shall Be Saved partnered with Holy Spirit Night for the event to reach Germany with the Gospel “through young revivalists who will influence the different spheres of society for the Kingdom of God.”
Trachsel, the founder of Jean-Luc Trachsel Ministries, shared footage of the gathering where attendees were “saved, delivered, healed, and baptized.”
“[The] last time I’ve seen and experienced this…was at the Brownsville revival in Pensacola almost 30 years ago. Today it’s here in Europe,” he shared in a reel of people being baptized in a pool.
“I’ve seen with my own eyes thousands of people getting saved and today it’s water baptisms in a glorious and joyful atmosphere,” he added.

September report from Middle East
Jesus continues to appear to hundreds or thousands in the Middle East.
Former Hezbollah Fighter Recalls Supernatural Encounter with Jesus that Changed Everything
“One day, as I’m praying, a man appears in front of me – normal size, but his being shines like light. This light is not a normal light. This light carried identity in it. And you knew that he is holy, and instantaneously I knew I am not. Even though I had prayed so many prayers, even though I had fasted so much and I had read the Koran and I had volunteered to work on landmines or I had participated in hanging people trying to please Allah, I knew, even though I have kept all the rules and regulation of Islam, I knew I am not just and I’m not holy…” he recalled.

November report from Saudi Arabia
In Mecca – the crown jewel of Islam — immediately after he read the Koran and prayed to Allah during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, Ahmed Joktan, the son of a grand mufti, was visited by Jesus in a dream.
“In my dream, the balcony opened up, there was this light, and I heard a voice saying, ‘Come to me,’” Ahmed says on a Gateways Christian Fellowship video.
Ahmed converted to Christ in New Zealand where he was studying English. He now lives in the West. Hundreds of thousands of other Saudis who converted remain in Saudi Arabia, boldly serving the Lord at the risk of being hanged.
Saudi Arabia is iron-clad closed to the gospel. Evangelizing is illegal. Bibles are outlawed. Apostasy is punishable by death. Non-Muslims are not even allowed in Mecca, where Muslims believe Mohammad received his visions and Abraham once lived.(1)
Despite the risks, Christianity is burgeoning, even approaching 10%2 of the population, says Oswaldo Magdangal, who pastored an underground church for 11 years as a Filipino worker. He was caught and almost hanged in 1992.
“Saudi Arabia has the largest secret congregation in the world, and it’s mainly Saudi citizens,” Oswaldo told God Reports. The younger generation is especially open to the Gospel. “Christianity is all over, in Mecca, Riyadh, but the biggest growth is in Jeddah.”
Is revival happening in the underground church?
“Saudi Arabia’s rate of Christian growth is about 65% greater than the global average,” says Bruce Allen, with Forgotten Missionaries International, using statistics from Joshua Project. “Just because we hear that a government is closed to the gospel doesn’t mean the hearts of the people are.” (2)
Until the new Crown Prince took over in 2017, Saudi Arabia was the home of one of the most extremist brands of Islam, Wahhabism. Of the 19 hijackers involved in 9/11, 15 were Saudi nationals and most of them followed the Wahhabi interpretation of Islam. Osama bin Ladin was Saudi and influenced by several extremist ideologies, including Wahhabism. School children have been taught in Saudi schools to fight the West.
But when Mohammad bin Salman took over, he liberalized the kingdom significantly. Fanatical clerics were jailed, preachers were told to tone down their messages, women were allowed to drive, schoolbooks were re-written to encourage moderate faith.
Most importantly, the religious police were stripped of their authority.

Negotiations are ongoing to build churches on the peninsula; if neighboring United Arab Emirates has allowed compounds to open for churches, why not Saudi Arabia? There are now Bible printing houses (printing in Tagalog and in English), Oswaldo says.
But on the downside, congregations still can’t rent hotel conference rooms or public buildings, he adds.
“There is a major increase in church attendance, particularly among the younger generation,” Oswaldo says. “There are now Saudi pastors.”
From the Philippines, Oswaldo worked as a guest worker in charge of civilian employees for the Armed Forces of Saudi Arabia. His wife worked in the Armed Forces Hospital. They had good connections.
But their connections were not good enough to save him from the religious police. When he was holding services in the desert (to avoid being discovered by the religious police), an AWAC plane during the Gulf War detected his meeting. The religious police caught him in Riyadh, the capital, he says.
He was imprisoned, interrogated and flogged on every part of his body, even the bottom of his feet. He wasn’t told the charges against him until his trial: blasphemy.
Oswaldo despaired. Interrogators demanded the names of his converts and associates in spreading the Gospel.
“Eventually I was so weak, they placed the pad of paper in my lap, and they forced the pencil into my hand,” Oswaldo said in Christianity Today. “I was weeping, and I said, ‘Lord, you’ve got to help me here,’ and I began to write the names of Billy Graham, Charles Spurgeon, and others. After a few days, they were so mad, because they’d been all over Saudi Arabia looking for those people.”
He was to be hung on Christmas Day, a date selected to mock his faith. Not only the Philippines appealed to King Fahd, but also the US, the UN, Amnesty International, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, and the Pope.
The church was praying, both outside and inside Saudi Arabia. His Saudi converts did a biblical Jericho-like march around the Kaaba.
Muslims march around the Kaaba as part of their religion. It is the most holy site in Islam. But when the Christian Saudis did it, under cover, they were signifying that Islam could not withstand the God of the Bible.
It worked. With only hours before the execution, King Fahd ordered Oswaldo’s release at midnight. Military personnel came to rescue him and escort him out. He and his wife had to leave the country within 24 hours.
Oswaldo – who goes by Wally – has not been back since. He tried to visit in 2022, but was denied an entry visa. Oswaldo and his wife hope to get into the country eventually and start telephoning their old contacts. Oswaldo believes he can get a meeting with MBS, at which he wants to present the gospel.
Ever since it discovered oil and became flush with cash, Saudi Arabia has used foreign labor for a full range of menial jobs. Some of those workers are Christian tent makers, like Paul, using their worldly skills to advance the Gospel where traditional missionaries are shut out.
Recently the tent makers have been joined by tourists. In an attempt to pivot away from an all-oil economy, Saudi Arabia is now wooing tourists. Who would have guessed that Christians would be among the first to come?
They visit the site where some believe Moses received the 10 commandments, Jebel al-Lawz, in northwestern Saudi Arabia, near the Gulf of Aqaba — and they pray.
(1) According to the Quran and Islamic historical sources, Abraham (Ibrahim) and his son Ishmael (Ismail) traveled to the site where Mecca now stands, built the Kaaba, and established monotheistic worship there. However, this narrative does not appear in the Hebrew Bible or other Jewish or Christian sources.
(2) According to Joshua Project, the percentage of Christian adherents in Saudi Arabia is 4.02% and the percentage of Evangelicals is 0.53%. The Evangelical annual growth rate is 4.3%, higher than the global growth rate of 2.6%.

College revivals in America in 2024
Tens of thousands of American university and college students are continuing to attend campus revival meetings across the country nearly 20 months after the 16-days of non-stop worship, prayer, repentance and testimonies at Asbury University in Kentucky set the fires blazing for a national revival movement among tertiary students.
In the fourth major collegiate revival in less than a month, thousands of students recently gathered at a University of Arkansas event to seek Jesus Christ and find salvation in His name. It was organised by the Unite US movement which reports that around 10,000 students from 67 different universities gathered at a stadium in the city of Fayetteville.
“Jesus met us there. We were blown away by His presence in the room and how it carried over to baptisms. It was a night we’ll never forget,” the ministry posted on social media.
CBN News reports how one young man shared his powerful testimony right before being baptised at the event, saying: “I spent a lot of years running from God. I just came to Jesus about five weeks ago, but I got caught up in, I’ll just say it, cocaine and alcohol. I had a lot of really near-death experiences and I think Jesus had his hand on my life because I should not be here.”
“This was one of the most incredible nights of my life. I want to give praise and thanks to God who moved in ways we’ve never seen. Watching 10,000 students worship together on their college campus was something to behold,” declared evangelist Tonya Prewett.
Earlier this month, Unite US movement also showed up at a University of South Carolina event where hundreds of the the 4,000 students who attended were baptised in a landmark library fountain in the city of Columbia. “I cannot get over last night’s Unite event at the University of South Carolina. Students ran to the altar before an altar call was given. Hundreds made a decision to follow Jesus and hundreds were baptised. God is moving on college campuses,” Ms. Prewett posted.
She added that more than 2,000 salvations and 800 baptisms have taken place through the Unite US campus events since they began at Alabama’s Auburn University one year ago.
“I believe this is the generation that will usher in the greatest move of God we’ve ever seen, and we’re seeing that. I do believe what we had in the fall and the spring of this past year is just the beginning. Greater things are coming, and I feel for the end of this year and leading into 2025, something greater is coming. God is doing something across this nation. I do believe this move of God on college campuses is ushering in a greater awakening,” the evangelist asserted in a recent podcast.
Every gathering has three main objectives:
SALVATION
For non-believers to hear a clear presentation of the Gospel in a welcoming environment. Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9
FREEDOM
For believers to know and experience true freedom from sin and burdens on their hearts. Galatians 5:1
COMMUNITY
For students to find community and discipleship through connection to local ministries and the local church. Ephesians 4:1-6
CBN News reports the campus revival is not just happening at Unite US events. There was a powerful movement of God at a church-organised outreach at the Corpus Christi campus of Texas A&M University.
Pastors Michael and Bonnie Fehlauer of New Life Church posted: “Nearly 1500 students last night at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. 62 water baptisms. Powerful testimonies. Many physically healed and delivered! Jesus is Lord. And He is coming back.”
Revival broke out at Ohio State University during the last week in August with hundreds of colleges students showing deep hunger for God ahead of the new academic year.
The Lantern student newspaper reported the event was led by members of the school’s football team who preached the gospel before 800-1,000 people. By the end of the night, an estimated 60 students chose to get baptised in four tubs of water near the stage.

Revival at Ohio State University
And a huge revival broke out at The Ohio State University during the last week in August 2024 with hundreds of colleges students showing deep hunger for God as the new school year kicked off.
A team of student reporters from The Lantern newspaper reports the event was led by members of the school’s football team who preached the gospel before 800-1,000 people. Some campus ministries and churches helped to organize it.
By the end of the night, an estimated 60 students chose to get baptized into the Christian faith in four tubs of water near the stage.

Revival at the University of South Carolina
In September 2024 the Unite US movement also showed up at the University of South Carolina where more signs of revival were on display.
Over 4,000 students gathered to lift the name of Jesus at Colonial Life Arena, and hundreds of students made the life-changing decision to follow Jesus. Many were also baptized in the Thomas Cooper Library Fountain afterward.
“God moved. Students were set free. Unite South Carolina was UNREAL,” the Unite US ministry posted.

Revival at Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi
And it’s not just happening at Unite US events. Multiple outbreaks of revival have taken place in the past weeks and months through other ministries. In one example from a church in Texas, God moved powerfully on the Corpus Christi campus of Texas A&M University. [September 2024]
A campus gathering organized by New Life Young Adults just two weeks ago drew more than a thousand students to hear the gospel.
Pastors Michael and Bonnie Fehlauer of New Life Church posted, “Nearly 1500 students last night Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi… 62 water baptisms… Powerful testimonies… Many physically healed and delivered! Jesus is Lord….. and He is coming back.”
