In a remarkable display of spiritual hunger, approximately 5,000 people surrendered their lives to Christ at the recent Harvest Crusade event in Anaheim, California. The evangelistic gathering, led by Pastor Greg Laurie, drew a capacity crowd of 50,000 to Angel Stadium, with thousands more joining online. The electric atmosphere was palpable as renowned Christian artists Chris Tomlin, Phil Wickham, and Brooke Ligertwood led the crowd in worship, paving the way for Pastor Laurie’s powerful sermon and invitation to receive Christ.
The overwhelming response to the gospel message has left organizers and attendees alike in awe, with Pastor Laurie attributing the remarkable harvest to a widespread hunger for God amidst uncertain times. “I think people are just looking for hope and answers,” he said. The diversity of the crowd, representing a cross-section of ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds, was a testament to the universal appeal of the gospel. As Pastor Laurie humbly acknowledged, “We’re just giving God the glory for what He did.” The Harvest Crusade’s impact will undoubtedly reverberate throughout the region, inspiring a new wave of revival and spiritual awakening in the City of Angels.
