About Harvest
Since 1990, Harvest has put on large-scale evangelistic outreaches around the United States and in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. More than 4,405,000 people have attended a Harvest event in person, and more than 370,900 people have registered decisions of faith in Jesus Christ.Harvest events are designed to be opportunities for Christians to invite family members, coworkers, friends, and acquaintances to hear the life-changing message of the gospel in an environment that is entertaining, yet nonthreatening.
The cornerstone of each event is the presentation of the gospel by Pastor Greg Laurie. Biblically-sound and culturally relevant, Pastor Greg brings a clear gospel message, providing an opportunity for people to make a decision to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

About Greg Laurie
Like many who came of age in the 1960's Greg Laurie was on a search for the meaning of life. Born out of wedlock to the beautiful Charlene McDaniel, an alcoholic who went on to marry seven times, Greg started drinking, partying and taking drugs to escape the insecurity and dysfunction of his family. But his life was suddenly changed when he encountered a group of young Christians on his high school campus in Newport Beach, California.Greg went on to start what became one of the first mega-churches in the United States as well as a far-reaching ministry that today touches many who are searching for meaning just as he once was.
Greg is the featured speaker of the nationally-syndicated radio program, A New Beginning, which is broadcast on more than 500 radio outlets around the world. The U.S. Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS) also broadcasts A New Beginning, enabling Pastor Greg to reach more than 800,000 people in 73 countries and territories, as well as every U.S. Navy vessel.
