A Note from Pastor Greg Laurie

From the very first Southern California Harvest, we have seen the Lord faithfully provide for our needs. We have always believed that when God guides, God provides.

Now, that obviously doesn’t mean money rains out of heaven. It means that God provides through His people to reach other people. In other words, He touches the heart of a believer like you to support something financially to accomplish His plan. That is how His provision comes.

Did you know that, through the support of people like you, we raised more than $80,000 at last year’s Christopher Laurie Memorial Golf Classic that went to help support Harvest Crusades events in Rapid City, South Dakota; Long Island, New York; and Anaheim, California.

At our last Southern California Harvest, we celebrated a milestone that is a perfect example of God’s provision.

In 1990, after much prayer and planning, we were guided by God to proclaim the gospel through the efforts of a weeklong evangelistic crusade. Twenty years later, more than four million folks have walked through the gates of a Harvest Crusades event, with more than 300,000 people making professions of faith! Praise God for touching the hearts of many to provide for Harvest Crusades since 1990.

But listen, the success of these outreaches has very little to do with me, and everything to do with the work of the Holy Spirit. I am simply glad to be a part of the Lord’s work.

And the truth is that if you have ever invited someone, volunteered, financially supported, or counseled at a Harvest Crusades event—even if you have simply prayed for an event—you have also played a part. And you should rejoice in that too.

Now, with 2010 upon us, here is what we are asking of you. As the Lord would so lead you, would you stand with us to help reach people with the gospel? When you help sponsor the Christopher Laurie Memorial Golf Classic, you truly become an instrument God is working and providing through, so that together we might reach more people with the life-changing message of the gospel in 2010.

Thank you in advance for partnering with Harvest Ministries as we reach our world with the life-changing message of the gospel.

In Jesus,
Greg Laurie
