Students at Florida State University turned toward God on Thursday, February 15. Then, thousands of college kids decided to come forward and commit themselves to Christ, with hundreds of them deciding to get baptized. Such is what Jennie Allen, a Christian author and the founder of IF:Gathering, a Gospel resource for women, reported on Instagram.
Ms. Allen posted about the baptisms in an Instagram post, sharing a photo of an FSU student who had been baptized in the school’s Wescott Fountain on the night of the 15th. Captioning that photo, she explained how the Spirit of God had moved the hearts of hundreds of students, if not a thousand or more, with many of them getting baptized.
She wrote, sharing the good news about students at the party school accepting the Good News, “It’s happening again! FSU Baptisms! And they haven’t stopped. Hundreds of students came forward to trust Jesus. We can’t explain what’s happening apart from the Spirit.”
Allen then followed that up with a second post in which she showed a video of thousands of FSU students celebrating and dancing after having accepted God into their hears, with many of them apparently heading to be baptized.
In a paragraph of text overlaid on top of the video of the dancing, converted college kids, Allen wrote, “4500 Florida State University (one of the biggest party schools in the nation) students confessed struggles and sin tonight. Hundreds come forward to trust Christ. And this is them singing and dancing as they head to spontaneous baptisms.”
Captioning the powerful video post, she wrote, “God keeps doing it!! They confessed their sin. They came forward in droves tonight to trust Jesus. We baptized hundreds in a fountain usually used for partying and worse. And it’s all just the beginning. It literally is everywhere I go right now. Revival is here. And there is no explaining it- when it’s God! #FSU #baptisms”

Commenting on Allen’s post, people left supportive messages about the mission and the baptisms. One, for example, said, “Amazing! 🙌 In contemporary culture where reality and virtual reality, acceptance and affirmation, everlasting truth and false narratives have never been more conflicted and blurred, these college kids are thirsty for living water that nourishes their souls! Only a supernatural savior can satisfy. His name is Jesus! 🙏🏼❤️”
Others left supportive messages like “GOD IS AMAZING. Who said God can’t save the top party school in the nation???” and “Goosebumps!!!!!! Let’s GOOOO! 😍 so so good! Jesus is alive and well at Florida State!!!!!” Another said, “The most insane thing I have witnessed. And it’s been building for MONTHS…. God is just getting started here people.”
One student who was there for the wonderful event chimed in, saying, “Hello! I was one of the students there last night! One thing I thought was BEAUTIFUL about unite was the emphasis on FINDING A CHURCH HOME! They had tables outside with college groups from many local churches and asked everyone to fill out information to get connected! We want these souls on fire to get plugged in.”
