What Happened at This Year’s Harvest Crusade

by Harvest on Jul 21, 2025

After 35 years of Harvest Crusades, one thing remains true—God is still powerfully at work through the life-changing message of the gospel. And this year was no exception.

Thanks to your prayers, support, and partnership, this year’s Harvest Crusade filled Angel Stadium for the second consecutive year—and hearts were filled too.

This one-night event saw over 45,000 in person attendance—with another 200,000 watching the livestream. Most incredibly, we witnessed 6,500 individuals make professions of faith in Jesus Christ!

One Gospel. One Stadium. Thousands of Lives Changed.

This year’s crusade featured unforgettable moments: a packed stadium, unforgettable worship, and a clear message of hope. Leading the charge in worship were artists Chris Tomlin, Kari Jobe Carnes & Cody Carnes, Brooke Ligertwood, and We The Kingdom, who filled the stadium with praise and opened hearts for the message.

The crowds poured in—so much so that the fire marshal had to close the gates of the venue. 

After Pastor Greg gave the invitation to accept Christ, so many people walked down onto the field that it reached maximum capacity, and once again the fire marshal had to intervene. Pastor Greg gave instructions during the altar call to those still waiting in the aisles: “I respect the fire marshal,” he said. “They’re just doing their job. But the good news is you don’t have to be on the field to accept Christ. You can do it wherever you are.”

A Message for This Moment

Pastor Greg Laurie brought a powerful, timely message, calling people to turn from sin and trust in Jesus.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, or if you’re rich or you’re poor,” he told those in attendance. “Your life feels like one long scroll, and no matter how far you swipe, you’re still empty inside. What you’re looking for isn’t found on a screen or an AI voice. It’s found in a living God who has a plan and a purpose for your life tonight.”

With heartfelt clarity and urgency, he invited thousands to step onto the field and into the family of God.

And they came.

From young people to families, longtime seekers to first-time attendees, the response was overwhelming. Each story represents a soul rescued, a life transformed, and a future rewritten by God’s grace.

To God be the glory!

Next Stop: The 3rd Annual Jesus Revolution Baptism

The story doesn’t end here. It continues on the shores of Pirate’s Cove—site of the Jesus Movement baptisms and the filming location for Jesus Revolution. On Saturday, August 16, we’re gathering again for the 3rd Annual Jesus Revolution Baptism, where thousands are expected to take their next step of faith.
