Matthew 28:19 NCV So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Pastor Greg Laurie hosted “2014 SoCal Harvest” at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California and over 4,000 people came forward to accept Christ as savior.
The organizers say that over 41,000 people attended the worship event’s last night. Almost 70,000 attended over the three day event.
“I know that there is emptiness deep inside you … you were born with it,” Laurie said as part of his message. “Right now, Jesus sees you; He doesn’t see a crowd. And He cares about you, and He loves you.”
The three-day event focused on Jesus within the lives of the believer and how someone who doesn’t know Christ and hasn’t accepted them as Savior has a void within them that they can’t fill no matter what the world may offer them.
The outreach was part of Greg Laurie’s 25th consecutive year of large-scale outreach events. The theme that Laurie has focused on this year is hope that can be found only in the personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
“This is something really amazing that God has done,” Laurie said. “I don’t know of another ongoing evangelistic event like this anywhere in the world that’s happened for 25 years – a large scale overt evangelistic event. I would say don’t take this for granted.”
