Regent University Hosts Turning Point USA Faith’s Make Heaven Crowded Tour 2026

April 15, 2026

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (April 15, 2026) — On April 13, Regent University welcomed Turning Point USA Faith (TPUSA Faith) as they stopped on their Make Heaven Crowded Tour, a gospel-centered gathering that drew attendees from across the region for a powerful night of worship, preaching, and ministry. The event called men and women to repentance, bold faith, and obedience to Jesus Christ.

The Make Heaven Crowded Tour, now traveling to dozens of cities across the country, is designed to unite the body of Christ around the timeless message of the gospel. The night featured a distinguished lineup of speakers, musicians, and ministry voices who each brought a unique perspective on the Christian faith, including:

· Pastor Lucas Miles, Lead Pastor at Nfluence Church in Granger, Indiana, and Vice President of TPUSA Faith

· Billy Hallowell, Journalist, Commentator, and Digital TV Host

· Holy Gabbana, Christian Rapper, Speaker, and Content Creator

· Millicent Sedra, Speaker and Pastor of Echo Church Australia

· Frank Turek, Biblical Worldview Apologist with CrossExamined.org

“We can’t create an overpopulation problem in heaven — God’s got plenty of room for all of us,” said Miles, who opened the event. “The heart of this is to see as many people come to know Jesus Christ as possible, and have their future determined in glory with Him for all eternity.”

Next, attendees heard from Gabbana, who shared a powerful testimony of his conversion to Christ and his dedication to sharing the gospel. Sharing with Hallowell, Gabbana spoke about the transformative work of God in his life.

“It’s really humbling and an honor to be that representative of heaven,” Gabbana said. “It doesn’t matter where you come from or your mistakes. God sees you for you. He says He looks at the heart, and He sees every one of us for who we truly are.”

Hallowell also sat down with Sedra, who spoke about the importance of Christians using their freedom to boldly proclaim the gospel, unafraid of the persecution that comes with sharing the truth of Christ.

“Boldness is simple — if you know something is true, say it,” Sedra said. “The Bible says it’s the truth that sets people free. The reason I’m not ashamed to speak the truth of the Bible, the Word of God, is because I believe that.”

The night concluded with a moving word from Turek, a dear friend of the late Charlie Kirk, Co-Founder of Turning Point USA. Recounting the memories of his friendship with Kirk and the dreams they shared, Turek urged attendees to learn from the example Kirk set during his life — to unashamedly spread the gospel.

“God has a mission for you, and Charlie knew what that mission was,” Turek said. “It was to build a family, to be salt and light in government, and it was to tell people about Jesus, the resurrection, and the fact that there is hope for all of us.”

The powerful night left a lasting impact. “Regent University and Turning Point USA Faith are united by one mission: making Jesus known,” said Jared Vallorani, Associate Vice President of Advancement at Regent University. “This event was an opportunity to see that mission come alive in Hampton Roads. We are praying for those who made genuine professions of faith and for every new believer to be rooted in a local church where discipleship can continue.”
