The Ohio State University and local churches recently hosted an event on campus that saw many people give their lives to Christ and even get baptized.
The university football team hosted the event and many players shared their testimonies on the stage after everyone engaged in a few worship songs. The praise and worship night had roughly 1,000 people gathered together.
"I was just doing my thing because it was fun, and I'll tell you this: I was on High Street, and I enjoyed it," former Buckeyes wide receiver Kamryn Babb said, according to The Lantern. "I had fun. But at the same time, I didn't recognize my condition. I was spiritually dead. I was spiritually dead. I could go out there, and I could smile and laugh. I can go back to the {Woody Hayes Athletic Center}, and smile and laugh. But on the inside, I was broken. I was broken."

After the event, 60 college students came up to the front and were publicly baptized in one of the four hot tubs. A video made of the event posted by TikTokker, Kevin Walsh, went viral after.
"I can barely put to words how amazing this Jesus revival is on the Ohio State University campus," says Walsh. "Countless attendees surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ, and professed their faith through water baptism."
As the football players were sharing their testimonies of what God has done in their lives, the crowd continued to grow.
"We were praying for years and years for an event like this, and we were praying with expectation — we serve a miracle-working God," said Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka. "So we definitely had an expectation when it came out, but God did increasingly and abundantly more than what we thought. So, we're just so blessed and thankful."
