FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (UATV) – Christian fraternities at the University of Arkansas hosted a concert featuring Christian Rapper Lecrae and Joe Barnes in partnership with Christian organization “Pulse.”
This concert comes just a week after Greek fraternities hosted “Row” weekend where artists, such as T-Grizzley, visited Fayetteville for a weekend of events.
The Christian event put on by Pulse however is more than just a concert. There were guest speakers, merchandise stands and moments of worship for U of A students.
Pulse is currently hosting shows on college campuses across the country as they prepare for its major event. On June 24-25, Pulse will be hosting “Together 2022” at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas.
This event will mark the 50 year anniversary of The Jesus People movement. The Jesus People was a movement in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s that encouraged young people to become involved in the Christian faith.
While the movement eventually subsided, it spawned a new form of evangelical Christianity that still exists today. Youth churches, youth groups, youth ministries; all were created as a result of the Jesus People movement.
