'Glory To God!': Over 2,000 Californians Baptized After MASSIVE 50,000 Person Harvest Crusade Event

Last week, Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, revealed that thousands participated in a baptism event at Pirates Cove as part of their second-annual Jesus Revolution baptism event. Thanks to the effort of nearly 70 pastors and church leaders, the event saw over 2,000 baptisms.

The baptism event comes after thousands more were baptized during the annual Harvest Crusade on July 20, which was held in Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, according to the Christian Broadcasting Network. Over 50,000 people attended that event, with even more attending online or being forced to stay in the parking lot because the stadium had reached capacity. Over 5,000 people gave their lives to Christ during that event, and over 2,000 came to Pirates Cove to be baptized.

According to The Christian Post, the baptism event has seenCal tremendous success in the past, with over 4,500 baptisms in 2023. Last week's baptism event brought the total number of people giving their lives to Christ over the past year up to 6,500, including Laurie's own granddaughter. The megachurch pastor explained that he believes that the event "may be indicative of a coming move of God that will sweep our land."

"It is worth noting that all of this has happened in Southern California. This is where the last great spiritual awakening, known as the Jesus Revolution, happened before," Pastor Greg Laurie explained, referencing the 1970s revival. "As a matter of fact, Pirate's Cove Beach was the exact location of the mass baptisms that took place over 50 years ago during that movement."

"That is the reason we have called each of these events a 'Jesus Revolution Baptism.' There is no doubt that many people have been inspired by the scenes from that film and wanted to be baptized in the same spot," he said, referencing the hit film 'Jesus Revolution' that played in theaters earlier this year.

"Baptism at Pirate's Cove! What a great day! Glory to God. We baptized 2000 people!" Laurie wrote on X.

Over the past year, large Christian revivals have been taking place nationwide as movies like "Jesus Revolution" reignite the spiritual side of Americans from every walk of life. The Asbury revival last year has proven to be contagious as thousands of Americans surrender their life to Christ.
