Michael W. Smith Shares His Testimony, Music Journey, and Friendship With Billy Graham
Aug 5, 2026
Hey everybody!
We just finished up a great night at the Wachovia Center. Here is a wrap-up of the evening from our Crusade Connection blog.
God truly moved the people Saturday night at the Greater Philadelphia Harvest.
The crowd started gathering in the parking lot as early at 1 p.m. We had to close the doors barely 15 minutes into the event, with more than 19,000 people inside the Wachovia Center. Unfortunately, a few hundred people had to be turned away.
The crowd rocked out to music from the Katinas, Kutless, and tobyMac, setting the stage for Pastor Greg Laurie to deliver a message titled “E-mail from Eternity.”
When Pastor Greg gave the gospel invitation, the floor filled almost immediately with people responding to the invitation. In all, 1,374 people prayed and registered decisions to follow Christ, whether it be first-time decisions or recommitments.
Praise God for what He did on an amazing Saturday night in Philadelphia, and pray for the final night of the crusade tonight.
