Celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary

America’s 250th anniversary provided a unique backdrop for the Harvest Crusade. This year’s event began patriotically with a flag ceremony on the field and a prayer offered by pastor and Vietnam veteran, Raul Ries. 

Attendees were reminded of America’s spiritual roots and that true freedom is found solely in Jesus Christ.

A Night of Worship with Top Christian Artists 

The evening featured powerful worship from Phil Wickham, Michael W. Smith, Kari Jobe Carnes, Cody Carnes, and TAYA.

Thousands lifted their voices to sing songs like Waymaker and What an Awesome God.

America’s Needed Message

Pastor Greg Laurie went on to preach a clear, gospel-focused message titled, “What Happens One Minute After You Die?” He spoke on eternity, forgiveness, and the hope found in Christ.

“This is why we are here,” he said. “For more than three decades, the Harvest Crusade has proclaimed one message: Jesus Christ died on the cross, rose again from the dead, and offers forgiveness, hope, and new life to anyone who will come to Him.”

As Pastor Greg extended the invitation to make a profession of faith, thousands descended onto the field.

Join Us for the Annual Jesus Revolution Baptism

Just two weeks ago, Newport Beach made headlines as thousands rioted, looted, and created chaos. Soon, many will gather at Newport Beach once again. Only this time, there will be worship and celebration.

Be part of it when you join us for the 4th Annual Jesus Revolution Baptism at Pirate’s Cove.

This is the same beach where many baptisms took place during the Jesus Movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Since 2023, Harvest Ministries has baptized more than 10,000 people through these and similar outreach events.
