The SoCal Harvest crusade, an evangelistic event by Pastor Greg Laurie, saw 8,600 people give their lives to Christ and was attended by more than 45,000 people.The event which was held at the Angel Stadium in Anaheim drew 50,000 in-person attendees, an additional 160,000 people who streamed online and was carried by around 600 social media pages and radio stations.Musical performances at the event featured notable contemporary Christian music stars, including Jeremy Camp, Phil Wickham, the Newsboys, Andy Mineo and Crowder.Greg Laurie during his ministration said, “God changed the course of my life, and He can do that for you.”He added, “My hope tonight is not in politicians or world leaders. It’s not in technology, money or possessions. It’s not even in religion,” said Laurie. “What we are all looking for is not something you hold in your hand. It’s something that happens in your heart in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.”The gathering also incorporated themes from the upcoming movie “Jesus Revolution,” a film based on the real-life Christian revival movement that took place in the 1960s and 1970s in Southern California.Laurie said, “The film was about how Jesus moved and sent a spiritual awakening in our lives that is still being felt today. I am honored to have such a talented, venerated cast and crew tell this story that is so near to my heart and changed my life and our country for eternity.”“The Jesus Movement was the last great American spiritual awakening. Some historians have said it was the greatest revival of all time. Now, I’m praying for another in our time.”SoCal Harvest is an annual evangelistic event that boasts of having had more than 6 million attendees and at least 600,000 professions of faith since it was first held in 1990.ALSO READ Deeper Life Crusade To Address Personal And National Problems
