Social media users were quick to react to the news, one person writing, “Thank you Jesus” while someone else said, “Sitting here in tears looking at these pics! Oh Father move on this campus! Thank you NewLife for loving and serving! What a beautiful sight!”
New Life Young Adults pastor Tarik Whitmore said his message during the event was on Isaiah 6, which talks about the “conviction, cleansing, and commissioning that follows a genuine encounter with God.”
He said, “This was followed by testimonies from students and former students — sharing how God saved them, set them free, healed them physically, and is now using them to change the lives of others.”

“God saved a lot of people, and those people were obedient to take the next step — to go public with their faith and declare Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior,” Church of Eleven22 pastor Joby Martin said. “And just as amazing as the 1,614 people that got baptized are the … maybe 10,000 people from our church [who] showed up to celebrate it on the beach.”
