It has been said that we can live 40 days without food, 3 days without water, and approximately 8 minutes without air; however, we can’t live a second without hope.

That’s what Pastor Greg Laurie demonstrates in A Rush of Hope, his cinematic masterpiece premiering Labor Day weekend on several digital platforms across the country. Summer is typically a busy time for our church, as we prepare feverishly for Harvest Crusades. Every August, and for the last 30 years, we’ve seen over 6 million people attending in person, and more than 500,000 making professions of faith. 2020 has been anything but typical, and this year’s crusades have become a casualty of the ongoing pandemic. While mass gathering was out of the question, Pastor Greg sensed a need for the community to find comfort and hear a message which would bring people together. His ambitious film filled that purpose in a way that has not been done before.

A Rush of Hope is his answer to the growing questions most of us have had while going through difficulties: Why are we here? What is our answer to challenging circumstances? How do we cope with loss?
