Around 5,000 individuals committed to Christ during a packed Harvest Crusade event in the greater Los Angeles area, which Pastor Greg Laurie credited to a growing spiritual hunger.
Held at Anaheim’s Angel Stadium, the crusade attracted 50,000 attendees, with 3,500 in-person commitments, 1,500 online, and 200,000 streaming viewers, featuring performances by Chris Tomlin, Phil Wickham, and Brooke Ligertwood.
Angel Stadium is home to professional baseball’s Los Angeles Angels.
“It was absolutely packed out — 50,000 people filled Angel Stadium,” Laurie said. “In fact, the fire marshals locked the doors, finally, because no one else could fit in.
“But what I love is that people stayed outside of the gates and joined us in worship. …There was such an energy and such an excitement in that space as thousands of us worshiped together as if with one voice.”
When Laurie’s sermon followed, the invitation was given, and thousands walked to the field to talk to a counselor.
“We’re just giving God the glory for what he did,” Laurie said.
Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, said he has a few theories for why this year’s crusade was so “powerful and effective.”
“I think maybe it’s a combination of events going on. I think that what’s happening in our nation, so much instability; we see what’s going on in the political world, an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. And now President Biden has just announced that he’s dropping out of the race,” Laurie said.
