‘The Answer Is Jesus’: 240,000 Receive Message of Hope During SoCal Harvest, 6,000 Find Faith in Christ by Andrea Morris for CBN News
Pastor Greg Laurie welcomed 40,000 people to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California Sunday for SoCal Harvest while another 200,000 people from around the world enjoyed the event online.
Laurie’s Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside hosted the event that included special performances by For King & Country, Phil Wickham, Kirk Franklin, and Tori Kelly.
After postponing the Live stadium event in 2020 due to COVID, Harvest was excited to bring the event back this year. Laurie said he’s celebrating the fact that 6,000 people just made the decision to follow Jesus.

“We are all still rejoicing over what God did at the SoCal Harvest last Sunday night at Angel Stadium. The stadium was packed with people worshipping God,” Laurie wrote in a Facebook post. “My message title was, ‘What You Are Really Looking For.’ 40,000 were in the stadium and 200,000 watched online around the world. Best of all, 6,000 people made professions of faith, both in-person and online! To God be the Glory! Thank you all for your prayers!”

During an interview with CBN’s Prayer Link, Laurie explained how the power of the Gospel can change lives.
“It is exciting because we spent so much time apart, so much time separated because of the pandemic and it’s affecting everyone,” Laurie said. “Drug use is up, alcohol use is up, divorce is up and that’s because people are down. Jesus said, ‘when you see these things begin to happen, look up for your redemption is drawing near.’ He didn’t say when you see these things begin to happen – freak out. The only thing that can change a human heart is the power of the Gospel.”
