Love & The Outcome's Jodi King and Chris Rademaker have asked their fans for help as they work on their next project.

Roughly 6,500 university students gathered for a praise and worship event held at the University of Mississippi last week that ended with students getting baptized in the parking lot.

The event was put on by Unite US on October 10 at one of the biggest party schools in the U.S.A. 

It was so well-received that afterward in the parking lot, there were baptisms held in the back of a pickup truck with a tarp and water added.
