Harvest: Greg Laurie

(Janet Troncoso in Burbank, CA) was somehow able to drag her unsaved husband to Dodger Stadium for the event, and during the invitation he was one of the 6000 who responded and went forward to dedicate his life to Jesus. His name is Hugo Troncoso, has had a drinking problem the past 10 years, just lost his job, and Janet was in the process of separating from him because of how negatively his alcoholism was damaging their marriage and their 3 kids. We have all been praying for Hugo for many years and Riley (my son) was best friends with Evan Troncoso (their 9-year-old son) when we lived in Burbank. Janet has been so faithful all this time – actively serving her church, raising her kids basically alone, and staying faithful to a totally checked out husband. . .all the while praying fervently for God's mercy and intervention. She tried everything and here all along, God was planning the L.A. Harvest event to be that divine appointment for Hugo to meet and respond to Jesus. Pretty fantastic and I didn't think I could feel any more honored and privileged to know and work alongside you and Harvest. I'm just so grateful and humbled by all this. Despite the heartaches and headaches of life, God is still in the midst of all this madness. What a merciful and awesome God and Savior!

So much of what Greg said spoke truth to my listening ears. I came with a group of girls to hear some awesome rock music, a powerful gospel presentation and We all came down to make first-time commitments to God. Although we have grown up going to church, this was the first time that we heard the beckoning of the Holy Spirit and followed it.

For so many years I was very angry with Jesus, I can say I hated him anytime anyone would talk about Jesus I would get angry. My son died at the age of 4 I couldn't understand how this so called God could do this. My wife died of cancer the lost of the two people in my life that meant so much to me was taken away by this so called God. It took me many years to forgive God, and it took me even longer to ask for his forgiveness. On 8-12-2011 I asked God to come into my life, I know that the two people I loved so much are with our father in heaven and that gives me comfort, and a sense of joy, and happiness Thank you God. My Lord.
