Harvest Event Draws 155,000

posted 8/12/1996 12:00AM

Southern California evangelist Greg Laurie continues to draw a younger generation to his Harvest crusades with Christian musicians such as Cece Winans and Bryan Duncan.

A four-night event July 4 through 7 in Anaheim drew 155,000, including Laurie's largest single-night attendance ever, 63,000 on Independence Day when the crusade included a fireworks show.

Laurie, 43, has been pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside--now the country's eighth-largest church--for 23 years. In 1990, he began conducting crusades primarily in the West, although he branched out to Florida and New York last year. His crusades have drawn 1.6 million.
