    Air1 CLOSER LOOK: College Basketball Coaches, Players Get Coached in Character

    Billy Graham once said that coaches affect more people in a year than anyone else in a lifetime. “The rest of that quote says, ‘so who’s coaching the coaches? Who’s pouring into our leaders?’ notes Tommy Kyle, Exec. Dir. of Nations of Coaches. The ministry specializes in outreach to the world of college basketball. Volunteers work as Character Coaches, leading biblically-based teachings for staff and student athletes. “A round orange ball filled with air has allowed me to go all around the world and share Jesus.” Closer Look’s Brent Adams reports.

Two weeks after 30-thousand people flooded their Easter service at Buc’s stadium, they counted at least 947 men, women and children who walked into the ocean at Fort De Soto Beach to be baptized.

    Air1 Closer Look: Revival Among College Students, Thousands Coming To Faith In Christ

    You’ve seen college students shout and make demands -- but that’s NOT the whole Gen Z story. “I would guess there were a 1,000 students who came forward for salvation,” says ministry founder Tonya Prewett speaking of just one of many recent UniteUS college rallies. Gen Zrs at Auburn University, UGA and Florida State made just one demand -- to be baptized. "A student messaged one of the pastors and said ‘please can I get baptized tonight, I don’t want to wait.’" Prewett led mass baptisms at Auburn University, UGA and Florida State, with plans to visit additional colleges and universities later this year.
