Nick Hall, basketball player becomes evangelist, leads worship at Pulse. Campus revival testimony, North Dakota. College student called ministry.

College Student Called to Ministry

Nick Hall grew up in rural North Dakota, always sensing a purpose beyond the ordinary. As a college student at North Dakota State University, Hall was initially focused on basketball, but he couldn't shake a deeper calling. Surrounded by peers grappling with depression, substance abuse, and a waning faith, he felt an urgent need to make a difference.

The Vision Becomes Reality

In 2004, Hall penned an English paper titled 'Pulse,' envisioning a campus transformed by Jesus. This vision was not just an academic exercise; it was a catalyst for action. 'As a college freshman, I knew I was put on earth to do one thing—put Jesus at the pulse of my generation,' Hall shared. By 2006, Pulse was officially founded, sparking a student-led movement that would grow exponentially.

Campus Revival Goes Global

Pulse began as a response to the spiritual and emotional needs Hall observed around him, but it quickly became a global phenomenon. One of Pulse's hallmark events, TOGETHER '22, drew thousands to the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Hall's passion for evangelism was evident as he declared, 'This is a revival generation. They aren't quietly walking away—they are coming back, and they are more loud than ever.'

Movement Transforms Countless Lives

Hall's journey from a basketball scholarship to leading a worldwide evangelistic movement underscores a life transformed by Jesus. Through Pulse, he has equipped over 22,000 people to share their faith, with more than 1,200 responding to Christ at a single event in Benton, Arkansas. His commitment is clear: 'My life exists to put Christ at the pulse of a generation.'

Today, Pulse continues to reach millions, uniting the church, equipping believers, and inspiring a new generation to boldly share the Gospel. Hall's story is a testament to how Jesus can use one person's surrender to ignite a movement, bringing hope and transformation to countless lives.
