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.
