COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Breakaway Ministries began 25 years ago as a small Bible study on the campus of Texas A&M University, but now it's a weekly gathering with thousands of students on fire for the Lord.

Each Tuesday evening, the students meet at the school's basketball arena for worship, prayer and Bible teaching.

"As an Aggie, you are a part of something bigger than yourself. That is sort of our motto," Fisher said. "So for Breakaway to be such a prominent part, it all makes sense because what we do at Breakaway is all about glorifying God. It's really about the spreading the Gospel, and you know, showing that Jesus moves and He loves everyone."

reading the title i thought the breakaway students went crazy and actually set the entire university on fire..... what a relief that they were just on fire for God!!!!

I loved Breakaway when I was student. It was about 2-3 thousand in attendance then. Is it really 10,000 now? Or is that just for the first one of the year? (Because attendance was always really high for the first week of a new semester but then dwindled down)

First 4 or so were huge this year and then yeah it goes down considerably. The biggest one they ever had was last semester at Kyle field and had a reported 10,360. I would be interested to hear the true average number.

I made it back to campus a couple of times in the past year while doing career fairs. The first time in the fall I would have estimated around 6,000 to 6,500. This spring I would have put it at closer to 4,500 - 5,000 the time I made it. Not scientific, just eyeball guesses. While I was a student, I imagine we averaged around 4K a week.

Test Schedules can help swing things quite a bit. Regardless, I'm very pleased with the overall turnout for Breakaway.
