About 1,500 people attended an evangelistic rally at Texas A&M University's Corpus Christi campus last Thursday, and dozens of students were baptized.
“Last night, we had about 1,500 students at Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi. 62 were water baptized. It was a powerful testimony.” Written New Life Church pastors Michael and Bonnie Fehlauer posted the following on their joint Facebook account last week.

“Once the altar was opened, an invitation was given to confess faith in Jesus through water baptism, receive prayers for healing, and receive prayers for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.”
Whitmore also said that CP event organizers witnessed “many people touched by the power of God,” including some who “wept spontaneously and trembled” and some “as they came out of the baptismal waters.”
“The evening continued with students and young people sharing real-time testimonies of salvation, healing, deliverance and being filled with the Holy Spirit,” he explained.

Whitmore told CP that he believes the “biggest difference” between both events is the “increased presence of the Holy Spirit” compared to last year.
“We've seen an increase in physical healings, deliverance and baptism in the Holy Spirit,” he noted. “Many of those who were baptized last year also attended. And many of those who attended last year are leading and serving this year.”
